They should make it like Brewster's Millions where you're obligated to spunk a quarter of it within six months or they won't give you the rest.
I'd like a couple of hundred grand. Anything over that I think I'd have some sort of breakdown from the stress of it all.
...and the going back to work thing. I had an interview a fortnight ago where the guy (early to mid 50s) cheerfully said he'd done so much hard work earlier in his life that his wife didn't work and he only worked because he enjoyed it so much. Somehow I had the self-control not to kick him into a coma.

I'll take what I can get at this stage Rodge!
Also this is the first time you have quoted me in 7 years. Considering I'm the finest poster on here I'm glad you've finally acknowledged me!

How much did you win?
Great idea that like. Make no plans die & pay 40% in tax rather than get professional advice. Your plans similar to just setting money alight rather than use it for good

Who says i wouldnt do some good deeds? I would pay what taxes im due, and if a load goes on IHT when i die, then so be it as im wouldnt be a hypocrite in moaning over tax avoidance, then doing it myself.

I'd never go public if I won. You make your house and kids, to some extent, targets.
I wouldn't want a Ferrari. If a Land Rover Defender arrived outside my house as a second car people would just think I was still a bit crazy.
They wouldn't know about the farm house in Northumberland. I work from home mostly anyway and often part-time so nobody would notice that I no longer "go to work".
Those that get hefty chunks of mortgages paid off would have a long chat first and would need to sign NDAs. If they even whisper to anybody the money comes straight back and they'd lose the tax they have paid on it.

I'd go public just to piss off the ex and rub it in the face of those that have shat on me over the years . It's be class to go into where they work and be as obnoxious as customer as I could . Think that would be fun .

I know an ex camelot employee who told me one winner wouldn't even come into the office. He met the camelot representative in a petrol station saying "you'll know who I am as I will have a copy of the daily express under my arm". Apparently he told no one, not even his wife.
He probably divorced her soon after.
