Would you still work? Think I'd very quickly become a coke addled alchoholic if I didn't. Think I do a low paid, meaningful job for free if I was in their position.

Would never go public

Id like to think I would continue working, its something I love. Tell friends I won the normal lotto, pay off their mortgages and any student loans, buy close people a few things, but then not go mad. Id go on shed loads of holidays, have a nice car, do things to the house, and make sizeable donations to a number of charities that are close to me and my family. I would also donate my wage to a local childrens charity and ensure that all my close ones were comfortable financially and could do what they want.

Would then open accounts and put in money for any kids I would have in the future, for first houses, student fees, and then live life as normal as possible.

Then probably go mental and do a Charlie Sheen #Winning

Who needs a lottery win for that?

(Mind you, it would help.)

I'd pay off family and friends.............then I'd do a runner to somewhere far away,
travel the world and not return till I had nowt else to do (1-2 years)

If you go public you get all sorts of financial help and security from Camelot, if you don't they just let the press come at you if they find out who you are.

I don't know why anyone would give a shit either way.

Like Something Else said, I'd love to be able to get away with telling people I'd won a few million on the normal lottery, or maybe won the raffle bit.

As for working, I'd have to start some sort of business, to give me the incentive to get up and out each morning, but having that kind of wealth is just mindblowing

I would sort out my family and mates and then do some voluntary work after travelling the world...and of course get a LFC season ticket from somewhere..

I would never work again for the rest of my life, never lift a finger doing anything i didnt want to. My biggest stress would be deciding what car to drive that day out of the 20 i owned.

Prelude no.5 · « **Reply #216 on:** October 12, 2011, 09:00:37 pm »

I can see where the concept of the afterlife came from. Who wouldn't want justice after death ? Because that's the only thought that I can muster after seeing someone winning this hoard of wealth. "Some day we'll be equal"

On the other hand If I'd won, to hell with the afterlife, I'd get all my best mates to skip a year or two from uni and come travel the world with me after having made sure my family could get anything they'd wanted.

The way we deal with money over the ages has just become so... well, weird. Don't you think?

There are billions of people who'll work themselves into an early grave just to feed the few members of their family who seem likeliest to survive. Over at our end of the Earth, every week or so you buy a guess at a random combination of numbers with the loose change in your pocket, and if you luck out, and you can practically become a god among men. Many millions willingly paying in their 'tax on hope', and you end up the collector. It Could Be You. Survival of the jammiest.

Mental.

Nearly got excited then...

The first 2 numbers that came out were on one line of my ticket... Que getting exicted moment....

IF I won a massive amount on the Lottery I would sort out my family first and foremost even giving to my siblings despite the fact we don't speak any more. I would also ask my kids to nominate a few of their friends and sort their families out in some way. I would give to the posters on here that I have become 'net mates' with and get a box at Anfield so we could meet up and watch the games. I would give huge amounts to charities and set up my own foundation to help people who need it most. I would set up University scholarships so kids who should but could not afford to go would be able to go to Uni. I would buy some pretty amazing cars and property all over the world.

I had the first 4 numbers once, I was fully erect and shitting in my pants with excitment but didn't get the last two. My boner subsided and I went for a bath, £57 richer.

I did think about starting a thread (of course this is if I win huge) and ask for reasons why it should be you and then give £10K to the best post in the thread...

Don't forget those RAWKites just down the road from you. I'll be much nicer about Swansea if you pay to get me out of here

If I won say, £100m I'd give £10m to each of my parents and £5m to each of my three siblings, then a million to a couple of my closest friends. Then I'd buy a boss house, and a couple of other boss houses somewhere warm, buy a boss car, get an iPad, get a Macbook, invest some, give some to charity and then... fuck knows.

Having said that I'd probably have a heart attack the moment I found out I'd won. That'd be shit.

Why? It is no closer to winning though is it? Having 3 or 4 out of 5 numbers and getting the stars would be more devastating though as at least you got close...

We actually did get 3 numbers and 2 stars once. I was certain we were picking up a couple of grand at least. 54 fucking quid we won.

Indeed, but you can look at it another way it's the closest they will ever come to winning the main prize.

Unless of course you decide to buy some nappies instead of putting the lottery on and your numbers come up, you then believe you still win it and 6 weeks later you do actually have the right numbers. <<--- Lucky bastards. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-12396748
