00:00Hello Adam. Hi. Hi Adam, it's Christian from BOTB, how are you doing? Not too bad, not

00:08too bad. Good. Adam, I heard you got some good news about the instant win tickets you

00:12bought. I did, it was a bit of a shock, yes. Tell me what happened, where were you, how

00:18many tickets did you buy and what did you win? So, I was out for a walk in Belfast.

00:26I stopped for a hot chocolate because it was yesterday evening so I can't drink coffee

00:33after about five o'clock or I don't sleep. I was sitting and I got a text message from

00:39Best of the Best and it said about the instant win and I thought I'll stop it, I'll buy ten

00:42tickets and see what happens. And I won a trip to Disneyland in Florida, I couldn't

00:48believe it. Honestly, I thought it was junk mail. I thought the email was junk mail, I

00:53thought it was gobsmacked because I never win anything. Unbelievable, the holiday is

00:57worth £18,000. You are joking me. Oh holy good lord, that is unbelievable. I'm struggling

01:07here not to swear. I'm trying my best to keep this PG, it's incredible. Do you think you're

01:14going to take the holiday or do you think you'll take the cash? We're saving for a house

01:18at the minute. So, the cash is probably the better alternative. And you're going to use

01:24that money to, as you say, help you buy your first home? Yep, that's the plan. Amazing.

01:28Who was the first person you told? My girlfriend, she was sitting opposite me, she looked at

01:33me and thought I was lying to her. She just looked at me and was like, no, wise up, wise

01:42up. So yeah, brilliant. Amazing. A huge congratulations. Thank you very much. Brilliant,

01:49thank you, thank you. Absolutely, our pleasure. Adam, have a great rest of your day and we'll

01:53be in contact over the next five days. Perfect. Thank you very much, Christian. Cheers. Cheers,

01:57Adam. Bye.
