Euromillions - £120m too much?

[TheSassyTraybake]

So I’ve bought a ticket and will take every problem that comes with winning but I do think this is too much? Managing it would be a full time job! Would be less relaxing on a sun lounger and more meetings with lawyers and accountants about the performance of your family office I would have thought.

I think a cap of say £40m is more than enough to be able to do anything you might reasonably want. Then there could be 3 winners tonight.

That said the idea of private jets and never having to queue at an airport again sounds wonderful! 🤞🏼

I know you will spend it wisely OP.
Yes it's a lot, yes it's too much for one person. Shame they cant divvy it up better.
I like to think if I won it I wouldn't go off the rails and do anything silly, but deep down I know it would only be a matter of time before I'm buying and driving a vintage London bus around and paying Johnny from Cobra Kai to have dinner with me.

It is a ridiculous amount of money isn't it!!!!

I'd like to think IF i were to win I'd use the winnings to help people / charitable causes. I have this dream that if I were to win this kind of huge amount I'd buy up as many homes as possible and allow them to be rented out cheaply to people who really needed them. I'm sure it wouldn't be very straightforward when it came to it - but i can dream I'd make that happen.

I'd keep a several million for myself and family of course and would enjoy spending that part!

You could help some favourite charities x

I think I'd take my chances, see how it goes...

It would make me very, very happy trying to spend and divvy out that much money. It isn't too much, I could handle it 💪

It's a hard job but I'd be willing to do it.

It def is. I'd be making lots of people millionaires along with me. It'd be great to be able to tell various people including family and friends etc that ive got a few million to give them 😁. I'd just go and knock at their door and tell them to put the kettle on.. I've got some big news for you!

Yeah, I would do a @CeeJay81
I may even push the boat yacht out a bit, and get some of those giant cheques printed to present them with at the front door 😄

Hahahahahah........no!

It's a lot of money, for sure, but I don't think anyone can tell anyone else what is 'too much', as that varies from person to person. If people don't want to handle that sort of money they needn't buy a ticket. I don't buy tickets often, but I have one for tonight, and if I win I will enjoy deciding what to do with it.

Give me ALLLLLL the money 😍

I think it's too much in that it's so wildly disproportionate to the rest of the prizes. If you're just one number off the lucky star but hit everything else you 'only' get £130k... I think I would cry if that happened which makes me sound hypothetically ungrateful but can you imagine, hitting all the numbers, but guessing 8 for the second lucky star instead of 7

£120 million is not too much for me. Just imagine all the good to be done by giving out a million to each charity you support, a million each to friends and family. I'd easily get through a lot of it by happily giving it away.

If i win it im telling NO ONE then i will buy a privet island.
No i will not be helping anyone with it because know one helped me.
That sums that up.

If I won that sort of money, I have very specific ideas about how I could put it to genuinely good use. I’ve put a lot of thought into it, over the years!

Not to much for me, will be dreaming tonight that I win it!

Unfortunately £120m isn’t really enough to have your own family office. And the big super yachts can be £100m each!

Guess I’ll just have to try and win twice…

I guess you'd hire a personal "COO" type person to deal with all that and they'd just come to you with the final decision/ approval. It is a lot of money but it wouldn't necessarily be that complicated. Family offices are complicated because the wealth is tied up in productive assets (shipping/ real estate etc) whereas with a lottery win you can just invest it all in liquid funds. Even with the charity side, it's as complicated as you make it. If you're going to be a strategic philanthropist then you'd need staff/ processes/ investments etc. If you just want to give money to x,y and z charities on trust, then much simpler.

Nope, I'd happily take the full amount! And with that much, you'd pay an advisor to invest it for you, and an accountant.

Another advert.

Why on earth would you want to buy an island covered with privet? A private island.. now that would be a good idea!

I don't do the lottery when it's this much as I think it would just be too stressful! It is so much money that you wouldn't have to worry about preserving it as even if you just put it in a high st bank account you'd generate enough interest to live off. Although you would be in a pickle if the bank went under and only £90k of it was protected (or whatever the limit is these days (it's not something I need to worry about!!))
If it was £6m or less, I'd know what to do with the money as, by the time I'd bought a nice house (we're in the South East) there wouldn't actually be a huge amount left over if I never wanted to work again. Once you're up to these sorts of amounts (or even above £15m I'd say) you're left with the dilemmas of which family & friends to help out, which charities to support and so on and having to justify making the decisions that you have,

Lol thats what i mean private tried to edit for spelling but got lost.

There are plenty of things I'd like to do with that much money.

£120 million would be great, there's 20 in our work syndicate!
Would make a change from splitting £3.20 between us! 😆
