SPEAKER A
Our regular round of activities included popping into the post office to check our lottery tickets and get new ones. That day my husband, Wayne, checked the main draw. No match. Feeling a little dejected, he turned his attention to the results of the lucky dip millionaire raffle. Then, he called me over and asked me to sit down. Another setback, I thought. We'd endured many. I'd been deprived of my rightful inheritance and concurrently laid off by the company to which I'd dedicated thirty years. I was really concerned that if Wayne's job also went out of the window, we could soon have bailiffs at the door. I knew our friends and relatives would come to our rescue and at least we wouldn't have to pay them any interest. Probably we could sell the house to pay our debts, but there would only be enough left over to get a one-bedroom mobile home for ourselves. And then Wayne's news came like a bolt out of the blue – we'd won a million!

SPEAKER B
I applied to be on the TV programme Deal or No Deal. It requires neither skill nor good general knowledge. I did it for a laugh, but it would be stretching it too far to say I didn't want to win. At the studio I was quite laid back and had no great expectations. Even £5,000 sounded like a prodigious amount. I don't want to make out that I had suffered as a child, but we had lived hand to mouth. My mum single-handedly went the extra mile to provide for me, so winning five grand would have been mind-blowing. When it was my turn to play, I picked box number 2 and got through to the next round. In the final round I was offered £68,000 to walk away. Just at the moment when I was about to take it, there was a little voice inside me saying "nothing ventured, nothing gained". One box had a fiver in it, the other £1 million. Something in my gut was telling me to go for box no. 2 again. So I did and then there was a bang, confetti and I started to cry for joy!
SPEAKER C
I had regularly bought tickets for the National Lottery. I'd always hankered to travel overseas. but it had been unattainable for me. I was hard up for cash and had barely any friends and nobody to turn to when I needed money most during my illness. So, when I spotted an advert for a better job at the National Lottery, I thought, why not? They employed me but I had to stop buying tickets, and so I could no longer dream of reversing my fortunes thanks to a lottery win. And then one day I received a letter from Finders International, the heir hunters. The first line of the letter said that I had inherited a staggering £1 million! I nearly chucked it in the bin assuming it was a scam but for some reason I decided to read on. The name Mary Major leapt out at me. She was my half-sister, my father's daughter from his first marriage. We'd never met. The letter disclosed that she had passed away and I was her next of kin so I was entitled to everything she'd owned.
