To be a bit frustrated with lottery winners lack of imagination?

[angelos02]

To the couple that just won £33 million saying they'd pay for their daughter to fly first class back from Australia. Get a private jet ffs. Buy a yacht & the staff you'd need. Bring back that 'spend spend spend' woman!

I think there'd be conflict if we were to win, DH is adamant that he wouldn't give anyone cash of any kind, and if he bought houses for anyone it'd stay in our/the kids names and they could live there rent free.

Whereas I have a select number of family members who i'd want to buy property for or if it were a lower value win, lump sums to serve as helpful deposits etc.

As for us, I'd buy a house a footballers wife would be jealous off, along with a cleaner and a person specifically to do my ironing

Make a few investments (with advice of course)

Then I would book lovely holidays multiple times a year, and generally enjoy not having to worry about money.

If you don't go public that doesn't mean you can't tell anyone or have to keep it a secret. It just means that the lottery can't release your name or publicise you've won and the press can't name you.

It's a stupid thing to do.

£33 million is not private jet rich either. It would cost about £190,000 to fly from Sydney to London. Personally I think that's a waste of money which could be better used paying off a friend's mortgage. If you start spending money like that you'd be broke in no time.

I know not going public doesn't mean you have to live in secret, billsykes but I still would because my mum would either tell everyone I should give her half or be doing a sad face in the daily mail after 3 months under the headline "Lottery winners mother sends them bankrupt after spending 33mill on FB selling sites"

Looks like the winner of the other £33m might have washed the ticket in a pair of jeans:

Me and dp had a conversation last night about winning euro millions, earlier in the day he had won monopoly and was being a smug fuck

Cont..... And he said he would buy a giant metal monopoly piece and leave it on the drive for everyone to see.

Spend spend spend, learnt nothing from Viv Nicholson then.
