Couple win ?56,000,000, what would you do?

[RoddersUK]

I'd leave UK as quick as fucking possible. Cyprus to start with I think and then I'd phone head office and tell em where the key to the car was and they could come and take it, the office pc and all my client files away whenever they wanted.
Then I would go to BC and buy a big plot and get a fucking great big house built and wave goodbye to UK its rotten fucking political system and the fucking EU for fucking ever.
I'd give my house to my niece with an allowance to care for herself and the properety.

I did win a large sum of money in the Spanish El Gordo Lottery.While the seller of the ticket got a good sum from the organisers,I gave her some more.She still has her newspaper stand in the small town,where I lived at the time.Other than that,I stuck most of it in the bank,and just carried on with my life.

Two things went through my head when I saw the picture above.

1. That's Heather Mills.

2. Oh no, if I ended up with ? 56 m Heather Mills would latch on to me and insist that I marry her.

? 56 m didn't seem so attractive then.

Then again, she wouldn't be my wife for very long and I wouldn't have ? 56 m for very long.

I'd setup a porn company, sign all the best UK talent to an exclusive contract and then never release the content on my dismally designed website - hang on someone has done that as well haven't they?

Seriously though I worked out the other day that I probably would have managed to spend at least half of it by now
I wouldn't be living in England either, I would go back to my home away from home, Sydney Australia and live in a palace

[spunkie]

Id pay for a pornstar orgy. Id invite Cate Harrington, Suzie Best, Katie K, Harmnony Hex and others round to fuck till we could fuck no more!!

Well they got more money to pay the contract killer to revert the contract to the contractee and with that kind of money can have a lot more people killed so ...

Not everyone is a winner after all

[Deuce Bigolo]

Tell no one not even family & friends....nothing surer than when you come into money people who have never shown you the time of day suddenly want to be your friend....stuff that for a joke

Recent example and the guy didnt even win it

"A deaf South African cleaner besieged by begging relatives after a newspaper reported he had scooped a $12 million lottery jackpot was not the winner, the draw's organisers said"




Keep a decent sized nest egg in a tax ffcient portfolio and live off the returns

Start giving the rest of the money away to the community around me but none of this grand standing like rich pricks who have everything their money goes towards named after them

I'd give up work and probably give most of it away.

I'd keep maybe 10 million to make sure I remained set for life.

Who the needs 56 million anyway? It's fucking obscene. I believe they should spread lottery cash around more. Smaller jackpots but higher 'lesser' prizes.

And for the life of me I can't understand why *anyone* would want to go public after winning money like that, with their names, faces and home town splashed all over the media for days afterwards.

Is it just to show off? Because I can think of no other reason. In which case, they deserve every problem they fucking get afterwards as a result.

I mean - how hard can it be to track them down afterwards, armed with that info? There can't be all that many 43 year-old builders called Nigel Page living in Cirencester can there?

So you can bet that they'll have all manner of yacht salesmen, charity beggars and dodgy financial 'experts' already beating a path to their door. Maybe even would-be kidnappers and / or resentful psychopaths (and it has been known).

I definitely wouldn't go public but I do feel sorry for some of the people in this thread that have such awful families/groups of mates that they wouldn't want to tell them

[justincyder]

no no i meant the folk who won the cash can hire the contract killers to bump off all the would be beggars!
