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

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

Cattenberg · 15/06/2021 16:14

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

PotteringAlong · 15/06/2021 16:14

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

Pootles34 · 15/06/2021 16:14

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

Cheeseandlobster · 15/06/2021 16:14

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 · 15/06/2021 16:14

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 · 15/06/2021 16:15

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

ShutUpaYourFace · 15/06/2021 16:18

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 · 15/06/2021 16:18

Did you give up paid work?

Do you do any type of volunteering or charity work?

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!

Redwinestillfine · 15/06/2021 16:18

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

Tiredmumno1 · 15/06/2021 16:19

That's lovely Smile

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?
