God I wish they where my parents :boozed

They usually spend all the kids inheritance instead xD

If you got paid, would you like it if i start saying that you should spend it on loads and things?

What's the point ignoring it? If that's the case, why bother even entering.

Put 10m in bank and in like 50 years time for your grandchildren it will be like 30m lol.
Id spent it thought because your not gonna live much longer, so have the dream life whilst you can init.

If i wond £19,000,000 i would treat all my freinds to some luxurious holiday. Give at least 100 grand to charity Buy some new stuff for my house. Maybe get a flah like a morgan but not uber mega flash like a ferrari. Then continue with my life knowing if thigns igo wrong i have soemthing to fall back on.

And i really hope that guy can be operated on soon :]

Just been thinking, you would be a target for being kidnapped and stuff though..
Id spent 1m on mum, 1m on dad, 1m on auntie (LEGEND) um, 100k on freinds.. Id buy a nice house, i hate massive houses so id like a really modern apartment.. an i dno lol.

But i wouldnt like to blurt it out becuase people will do stuff to get money out of you, e.g hostage... murder and stuff

I think that's wrong as well, using cash as a back-bone to your life.

Or something along the lines of that.
I do know that there was a postman and a milkman who won the lottery and they continued doing their jobs.
It's really a matter of persepctive on whether you see the lottery as positive or negative.

Wouldn't buy a ticket if you thought it was a bad thing...

Its ignorant. If you don't want the money, give it elsewhere.

Tbh we should leave them alone (lottery winners), regardless of what they do. It's their money, and you've got to be in it to win it, and if you dont, dont criticize those who do.

People saying whats the point having it and not spending it.
Spend some not go wild like a saddo most lottery winners are like.
Thinking they can do whatever they want.

Save half or more than half to pass down while your gone so the rest of your future family can benifit.
