True but they got it at a bargain price which took that into account. They're going to make an enormous profit doing that property up.

Say what you like but I bet he had fun in those 8 years while it lasted, it's not up to us to say who should win the Lotto or how they should spend it. I'm still a little puzzled as to how he spent it all though.

tbh if I got £9.7m I wouldn't be alive 8 years later so good on him

If I had that much money, I'd buy a house and a new car, and then probably just live off the interest. I'm suprised it lasted this long for him though.

how can you spend that much money so fast? he must have spent thousands each day because along with 10 million also comes massive ammounts of interest on it too

He bought four houses, a villa in Spain, two Mercedes-Benz and a few quad bikes. He supported Rangers FC and invested around about a million pound into the Rangers Financial Management.

Wasnt he a bit chunkier when he won?
