Carole Machin Q&A

We know you can't play but what would you do if you won nearly £4.5 million on the Saturday night Lotto draw?

I would disappear off somewhere hot to take it all in and celebrate! Following that, I'd set up my own production company and employ all of my favourite people in the industry to come and work with me. And I'd stock my fridge with Laurent Perrier Rose Champagne. A girl has needs!

What would be your first holiday destination with a big lottery win? And who would you take with you?

Barbados, with as many friends and family that I could fit on the plane!

If you found out you had won the lottery, where would you hide the ticket?

Well, that would be telling wouldn't it?! I have a secret place that I keep special things, but I couldn't possibly tell you where it is!

What do you do to relax?

Lots, it depends on my mood but it usually involves eating chocolate. Chocolate makes me happy. I've also got a great park close by that I love walking in. I put Alicia Keys on my mp3 player and I'm away. She soothes me.

Tell us something that may surprise us?

I fall asleep everywhere! It's so embarrassing. Bars, friends' houses, halfway through meals in restaurants - that's the worst. I can't help it. Everyone else will be having fun and I'll have dozed off!

What would be your specialist subject on Mastermind?

I'll never be appearing on Mastermind.

If you won the £11 million jackpot on EuroMillions, would you give up work? If so, what else would you do instead?

No! I love my job. But I'd create more shows for me and my friends to work on. I would set up a production company 'Munchkin TV Productions' to employ all the people that I love working with in the industry. I would also travel the world, setting up camps for kids that don't have the chance to be kids, so that they can have the opportunity to let loose, have fun and be creative. And I'd buy shares in Green and Black's.
