When other people win...

[Stalker62]

So Joe and Jesse Thwaite have won £184,000,000 on the Lottery.




Couple of things spring to my bitter and twisted mind.

1) Why on earth would you go public with news of your win?
I wouldn't even tell my wife.

2) They are delighted that they can now afford to get the roof fixed on their house.
If that is the limit of their imagination, then they should not be allowed to enter the Lottery.

Anyhoo,

As I said...nice to see others winning competitions...


So, to my question.

A big win on the Lottery - what would you do?

Heaven knows, I have spent that win over and over in my head - and I am not proud of where some of the money went...

 

[pob]

I'd get you a £100 voucher from 1967spud.

I'd also hire five prostitutes and make them play Risk with me. Naturally, they'd have to let me win, but they'd have to seem to be enjoying it, make it look above board and tell me that I am the best they've ever played. I assume that they will have the right skills.

 

[Klenchblaize]

I’d like think my FEO would be kept busy with one or two variations.

He could at least have bought a decent watch before he went on the telly

[norcan]

I wouldn't have told anyone!!!!!

Just imagine what utter BS they have to deal with now for decades to come...

Just had that very conversation with my wife.

How could you trust anyone that became your 'friend' post win?

One of the things I would love to be able to do, is to trace all those in my history who (for no good reason) were kind or decent to me - and anonymously improve their lot.

 

[Stalker62]

I’d like think my FEO would be kept busy with one or two variations.

That's a given.

Once you had explained your 'situation' I wonder if the variation times would suddenly improve?

Then just start booking Highland Lodges, Safari Camps and Diving locations, and inviting all your mates along for the ride.

Why, I would even fill up my Landrover with diesel...

 

[Sealgair nam fiadh]

I would hire Malcs place up North for a couple of weeks and have a special supporters draw for spaces, might even sneak in a slot for Stalker1962 to save on the grief !

You know it makes sense.

Yeah, think of something ridiculous and when the FEO says no, drop the line " I have 180 million to spend on the court case ".

Problem is with a win like that is that spending it becomes a problem because the dammed interest keep mounting up! Mind you its a problem I would like to have

Assuming 0.5% interest.

That is c £920,000 p.a.

Keep the wolf from the door...

why book rather than purchase?

[Farmer_J]

Well I could fill the oil tank back up and pay this 1/4s electric bill. Not sure how much change I’ll have left!

 

[Stalker62]

Why book rather than purchase?

Variety.

 

[Klenchblaize]

Might be able to afford my first munty and even have the head prepared.

I liked the tale of the destitute bloke that had spent half his fortune on wine, women and song. And wasted the rest.
