It's about the National Lottery, which was introduced around the time this song came out. 'It could be you' was the slogan they used. So essentially the songs starts out by pointing what a scam the lottery is, how it sells hope to people trapped poverty although their chances of winning are around 14 million to 1. The Churchill reference is to the money given to Winston's Churchill's grandson to buy his granfather's papers - it was very controversial that money meant for good causes should be given to a rich Tory idiot. Which contrasts with the working-class people (also satirised in the song) who buy lottery tickets and dream of escape.
Oh, and Telly Addicts was a rubbish TV programme with Noel Edmonds on which families answered questions about TV programmes.
