Would you actually want to win the lottery

I'm talking the big big amounts like the 200 million like on the euro millions i always thought i would, no money worries, nice house, quit my job etc etc but now im getting older (late 30s) i honestly don't think i would. I'd love enough to pay of mortgage, a new car and some nice holidays and some home renovations. But to actually win 200 million i honestly think I'd be miserable as it would change everything and I'm just happy where I'm at. I wouldn't want to be unemployed, not being able to trust who your real friends are, security issues, moving home etc I just don't think it sounds that great in reality.

Yes, it could change my life and many other people’s for the better.

Nope. Happy with the struggle, take that away and I don’t know what would get me out of bed in the morning.

Love this

Yes please

Yes. However, I would carve off enough for a sensible lifestyle in a comfortable home, help friends, family and charities/ arts I like, then use the rest to set up a charitable foundation with proper trustees and make that my “job” to help needy causes, in perpetuity.

My seven-year-old likes to talk about "our mega-mansion" that we'll build if we win big. It will be under a huge glass dome, with controls that enable us to choose the weather inside the dome. Amongst other things, we'll have a swimming pool, a huge library, a herd of capybaras and a kitchen run by a capybara who "loves cooking" 🤔

A discussion OH and I have is would you rather a yacht or private jet. After watching that programme about Tamara Eccleston it's definitely a jet for me.

I'd love to start a charity. I want to bring back Home Start...some of you may still have it in your areas and family nurse partnership and get involved with families early instead of at crisis point.

A rather sick obsession i have is I'd provide a bespoke hitman service and take out domestic abusers who go from ruining one person's life to another and another leaving fucked up victims and children in their wake. There are honestly some people where a bullet is deserved. I did think about just maiming them but they'd get some poor sod dancing attendance to them.
