The Big Call is an ITV quiz show, made by Granada Productions and presented by Neil Fox, in which six members of the public challenged it out, with the help of the celebrity of their choice.

The winner went onto the Pressure Point to decide between a guaranteed cash prize of £20,000 or 100,000 Lottery tickets. If the contestant chose the £20,000 cash prize, a phone-in viewer had the opportunity to win the 100,000 Lottery tickets.

In the final episode of the series the studio contestant turned down the Lottery tickets and chose the £20,000 cash prize. The phone-in viewer who won the tickets received £172,000, as one of the tickets contained 5 numbers plus the bonus ball.
