I won the lottery (a few years ago) AMA

[NCuserer]

NC for this as I remained anonymous, which was fairly pointless as I did tell some family and friends and it spread from there.

Was it everything you imagined it would be?

[WowIlikereallyhateyou]

How much did you win?

[MrsUnderkracker]

Oh wow! How lovely!

What was the first thing you bought?

[Loubiemoo]

How much did you win?
Whats the first thing you bought?
Who did you tell first?
Do you still work?
Do you still have most of your money?

[Loubiemoo]

Can you lend me a fiver?

[MorrisZapp]

How did it affect your relationship, if you're in one?

[Cattenberg]

Now that the excitement has worn off, do you think you’re happier now than you were before your win?

[PotteringAlong]

How much did you win and how much do you have left?

[Pootles34]

What was the fallout from your family & friends telling your secret - do you know who blabbed?

[Cheeseandlobster]

Did you lose any friends over it? I knew a lottery winner who lost a lot of friends and she told me she wished she hadn't won. She told everyone before she had a chance to think it through I think

[BelleClapper]

Ooh this is an interesting one.

How much?


What was the first big thing you bought?

[dappledsunshine]

How did you find out you had won?

[newestbridearound]

Has it changed your life as you expected?
Would you do anything differently (what you’ve spent, who you told etc) if you could?

[ineedaholidayandwine]

Were your friends and family respectful or did they start asking for/think you should help them out financially

@wheresthehope

Was it everything you imagined it would be?

Yes, and more!

[NCuserer]

@WowIlikereallyhateyou

How much did you win?

I won just under 14 million

[Learningatmyownpace]

What's the best thing you've bought?

[PotteringAlong]

14 million! Wowsers

[ShutUpaYourFace]

Was it lucky dip or did you pick your own numbers?
How long had you been playing? Are you a regular or was it a one off ticket purchase?
Are you a lucky person anyway?
Breathe! I need to win the lottery - any tips😂😂😂

[ivykaty44]

Did you give up paid work?


Do you do any type of volunteering or charity work?

[NCuserer]

@MrsUnderkracker

Oh wow! How lovely!

What was the first thing you bought?

I took my son out for a lovely dinner. This was before the I got the money though. I think the first thing I bought afterwards was a Mulberry bag which I had wanted for years. I have over 50 now!

[BeachWaves2]

Lucky you

[Redwinestillfine]

Was the admin around it complicated ( banking limits, tax implications etc)?

[Tiredmumno1]

That's lovely

I really hope that winning changed your life, We all dream of winning the lottery, does it feel as good as what you'd dreamed of before winning or even better?
