would you want publicity?

not a chance I would
I would be moving out of our place straight away and selling it for cock all
more than enough money to get yourself settled anywhere

 

[ben]

Nah, I'd keep it out the papers... well, try to.

Easy enough to deal with though - give £1million each to all my friends and family - keep £5m for me and donate the rest

imagine the interest on that kind of money

I read somewhere they were losing £9000 interest a day before they claimed it

I would not want any publicity.

I never understand those people who win and then say well this money isnt going to change our lives we are going to keep living in the same modest house and so on. I think get an imagination and modify or restore a load of classic Fiats.. or do something good with it

around £30,000 a day

that kind of money can set up you,your kids and the generations to follow
with plenty left for philanthropic work

Dude if I won that much I'd give it away to the first bum / squatter / homeless person I saw

not a chance, i always thought that they'd have a clause in the terms of the jackpot to make you get pics took etc.

Why the hell would you want to start a stamp collection ?






£1million to each person in this country aged 40 - 65 on condition they retire thereby freeing up shedloads of jobs for the 3million plus freeloaders, that'd still leave plenty for good causes, family etc.

£1million to each person in this country aged 40 - 65....

Are there less than 161 40-65 year olds in the UK?

 

[JoshGrande]

I'd just leave it in the bank, let it earn 13,000 a day (was on the news) and just take out of that 13,000, oh, and buy an abarth punto, then I can stick ones up at the insurance companies

(they can do the same back when I crash)

 

[dave]

they both dont work but can afford 5 lines @ £2 each wonder if they spend that every friday tuesday wednesday an saturday

 

[GrandeGuy]

I'd let everyone know,
Then blow it all by buying a mansion, have a grass track on the front lawn and just flog cars round it, wear a baseball cap+loads of gold, name my self king of chav's buy lot's of cars till all the moneys gone, then go back on the dole. :shakehead:

haha why do i recognise that story...:chin:

 

[AppleSei]

I would not go public either but it would probably get worked out over time which is why i would then employ someone to burn all the begging letters

STOP PRESS - A begging letter has just been posted through my door!

Some company called HSBC have asked me to give them some money bloody beggars!

 

[dombooth]

I wouldn't want it all over the papers/news either tbh. Buy a nice house/cars and live a nice life.

Then I'd spend the rest on maths lessons

 

[sludgeguts]

Actually, regarding the begging letters, it'd feel great to be able to do some good - so perhaps use the interest to fund good causes, maybe employ investigators to suss out the genuine cases and perhaps take out full page ads in local papers naming and shaming the chancers.
And some of those begging letters can be so inventive, Apple, you need to be careful because if you send them any money, they'll only keep sending you letters. Might be best to post the letter back and tell them you're not falling for their scam

 

[dombooth]

Any person/company/whatever that sent me a begging letter would get nothing.
