Description

Chris Chambers reports on a record eighteen million-pound National Lottery payout to a factory worker who has asked to remain anonymous. The size of the win has sparked debate in the House of Commons, with some MPs calling for a change in the rules about anonymity of winners and size of the prizes. Includes Parliamentary statements by Harry Greenway MP; Iain Sproat, junior heritage minister. (The winner was later revealed by the News of the World as Mukhtar Mohidin from Blackburn).
