Euro Lottery Winner

[TonyN]

Just heard on the radio someone in England has just won ?98 million on the euro lottery the biggest so far in England.
If it's you would you know what to do with that kind of money, would you smoke the same brand - brands of cigars
Serious answers only though
Worked it out roughly they will get ?10 thousand intrest on the 98 million daily.

It is was me I'd bomb everyone on the forum with boxes but I'd smoke the same cigars.

With that sort of cash you'd have to donate a chunk to charity.

There is no way on earth one person needs that much money.

Having a lottery winning friend I can tell you its better to donate in small regular amounts than large chunks.

I have given this thought in the past and honestly don't know what I'd do - its beyond comprehension, but charity would obviously be one thing (although rather than just give away a chunk I would be more inclined to find a way to generate regular income for charities through some sort of Foundation and hopefully longer term pay out more), I would also want to work out a way to ensure I could generate enough income to live off so I didn't have to work, although I still would want to work (just not in my current job!); I wouldn't want to end like one of those people who win the lottery and somehow end up penniless within 5 years. If it is ?10K daily interest I can't see that being much of a problem though...

Another thing that would be important to me would be to give my child(ren) the best opportunities in life, but also make sure they know its important to work hard (something that I imagine would be quite tricky...)

In terms of cigars I would probably smoke the same brands as I do now, but be more inclined to pay EMS. I would also look to start a collection of cigars (so buy the various special release humidors etc), not necessarily to smoke, but just to 'have'.

I might consider buying each member of the forum a MRN Second Edition as well

All very hypothetical though, aren't the odds of winning something like 1 in 116,000,0000? I only buy one ticket for each draw!

Relax I think is the first thing I'd do , probably go away somewhere very quiet and take stock of my changed situation , and arrange to take us all to Cuba for a herf

[TonyN]

With that kind of money in the bank and the daily intrest going in just woulden't know where to start think I'd have nightmares.

I wouldn't change a thing, would still go to work every day, drive the same old car, no wait.... Ah yes ! Sorry meant would change pretty much everything . Would take a good long holiday and consider my options.

I wouldn't even work my notice, sue me if you like.

We were discussing it at work and I decided I would go in and offer ?1 million to the first to get sacked, just to see what would happen

[Sean]

Theres a few people in the past i would like to have taken out. Woops wrong forum,

But in all serious i'd just enjoy it everyday could be a different adventure

[nev coss]

smoke what I like drink what I like , but would not mind trying one off these ?15.000 bottles of wine just to see if it is better than the tenner I usually pay , or pre embargo better than my usual Bolivar, all a matter of taste.

Walk in humidor instead of desk top or cabinet.
