Tight twats only giving him 1.6 million
I was thinking that myself. Win £101 million and give your son £1.6m.

A huge amount, and taking it to court is f***ing daft, but if the winner won't look after his family what's the point in having that much cash.
f***ing hell you wouldn't give your family more than £1.6m if you won that kind of money? At least you could spend your days counting your money.
Have to say like, when I've dreamed of winning the lottery, let's say £100m, I don't envisage a fuck off lump sum to family & leaving it just at that. Make them comfortable, like he did, then continue to help for life. I'd guess he's got financial advisors who would recommend regular gifts over time in the right set up than a one off lumper.

In this particular case, it sounds like the son is that much of a twat he couldn't be trusted with more. If he were given £10m, that might have been pissed up the wall.

All sorts I could do with that sort of money. If I set up my family and friends nicely for retirement I think I've done my bit.
If you did a straw poll of my friends and family I'm confident that they would class me as a generous person. If anybody 'expected' anything or suggested that they would be disappointed with that amount then they would get fuck all.
The flip side is that I wouldn't expect it of them. If my best mate won Euromillions I'd still expecting to be buying my round next time we were in the pub and wouldn't be comfortable having it any other way.
 
Only?
He got £1.6m, a lot of money in anyone's book and enough to set you up for a comfortable if not extravagant life. Depending on age, most could get away with never working again with that amount.
He's proven himself to be a bellend so I would suggest the £1.6m was too much.
If I win Euromillions tonight and anyone is expecting more than £1.6m as a gift they are going to be a little disappointed.

He was an officer in the RN which he sharp jacked in when he thowt he was gonna be kept for the rest of his life.

He got £1.6m which is more than generous when he was entitled to nowt.
 
Son clearly taking the piss, correct decision.

On a similar note I'm raging I'm too old to fully embrace the shameless entitlement culture.
 
I honestly don't understand the mentality of some on this thread. If I won £100m my son would get probably £20m, my sister 10m each and my parents a no limit credit card. Cousins etc would cop for at least £1m each and I'm not even close to them. I couldn't imagine winning that kind of money and being tight with it. Oh heck I've given 50m away and I'm down to my last 50m best go to Lidl for the shopping this week.
 
I think that if someone handed me 1.6 million I could quite easily pull myself a comfortable self sustainable life.

Shame the dad didn't make it more clear what was expected of his son, and that the son decided to take this to court.
Me too. It would be all my Christmases coming at once. I'd quit work that instant. Loads of other stuff I want to do.

Almost half of those amounts would go to HMRC.

Depending on the age of your offspring, there would still be an importance in making them understand the value of money and EARNING things in their lives.

I've genuinely no idea what I would do. Never thought about it. Never put the lotto on for starters

this. I'd quite happily give £70m away and keep 30 for myself, possibly even more. I'd make sure everyone around me, friends and family were looked after.
 
I wouldn't give any large sums away. Credit cards with a £10k limit on to close family and thats it.

Aye, but there's looking after and then there's footing the bill for someone else's extravagant lifestyle.
 
There's two distinct discussions here. How much you would give away is one thing. How pissed off you'd be if someone squandered 1.6mill is something completely different.

If you'd given twenty mill and that had been pissed up there wall, then would you continue to give more? The threshold for how much has no bearing on someone taking the piss out of your gesture.
