Comments:
Liz Bonnin proceeded to make some elemental goofs as she did the voiceover:
"Sixteen, 1 and 6, sixteen" (no, this isn't bingo and no, I don't think 60 [pronunciation] or 91 [upside down] can be drawn in this game either).
"Ball number 4 is...number 41" (fatal faux pas - don't number the sequence of the balls !).
"And now here's the final number....[long pause]....from this machine" (out rolls 36, which of course isn't the final number - 9 and 7 followed).
"On Euro Millions there are 12 possible winning combinations" (12 prize tiers maybe, but over 3 million possible winning combinations actually).

I suspect the double rollover main UK lotto won't have helped UK sales, but even so, this appears to have been a very poor start on the UK side of things.
