baw 4,360 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 It's a mind numbing amount. You could put it into a high interest account and live the life of your dreams without touching a penny of it.I know I've day dreamed about and still can't get my head around it, not only would my children be sorted but my grandchildren an great grandchildren lol. The people I could help out , I reckon I'd have a lot of new mates though .There are 2 lottery winners in Scotland who got around £10 million on the lottery and blew it. One got involved in Livingston football club the other was a rangers supporting bin man who blew the lot with nothing to show for it. A million pounds is nothing these days. A half decent house and car and then you'd need to be watching the pennies. depends how you spend it i suppose baw been few lottery winners blown the lot ---i know someone who sorted them self out retired early on 120k everything paid off and money in the bank no flash car no flash house ... For sure mate. I don't mean a million is nothing but compared to when I was younger, if someone was a millionaire with 1 million you thought they could never spend it, if was that much. A £1000 was a lot but nowadays, you could spend that on a weekend to black pool. I'm like you, I'll never retire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I certainly wouldn't go public. I'd pay off my close mates' mortgages and give probably half to what I consider good causes. I'd take a load of people on a holiday of a lifetime and I'd buy Baw a shotgun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For a start, the local shop you bought the ticket from would be advertising it was bought there. Folk would be looking to see who it was..... And in rolls tomo in a ranger rover sport fitted out in the back with a dog box 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 You just give away the 50 million and then go live your life, with a nice feeling that you have helped others. Like Tomo says you don't need to make a big song and dance about it. Your never gonna spend the 50 million you have left anyway. Unless your a complete fool! Nah to keep 100 million for yourself. That would bother me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
