The Take 5 broadcast was initially broadcasted on BBC, hosted by Gethin Jones and Chris Biggins. But in January 2011 the studio was changed, with different presenters such as John Barrowman, Matt Johnson, Jenni Falconer and OJ Borg playing host. This show is produced by the BBC National Lottery production team. As part of their operations, National Lottery broadcasts are funded by UK government as part of a public service obligation to provide free-to-air television coverage of Lottery events. The BBC is legally required to maintain objectivity and independence when providing coverage of political issues, while lottery sales generate over PS30 billion annually in proceeds, which go to good causes like health and education.
Take 5 lottery odds are relatively low when compared to other lotteries; nonetheless, it’s still important to know how to play properly. Avoid choosing numbers you’ve won before or ones which haven’t been drawn in awhile as this will reduce your odds and likely waste more money chasing smaller prizes. Furthermore, remember that picking identical numbers every week doesn’t improve your odds of success; try mixing up your selection every week instead!
