Winning the Lotto. Why go public?

[Linny]

This couple here won £21M. They plan to continue working in their day jobs; "now that everybody knows, we can crack on". Surely not? Their lives will never be the same again.

Jealous? Me? No.

'Shellshocked': Slough couple net £21m lottery win

I’d never go public, the skeletons in my closet say so.

Mr Stickley explained: "This sort of thing does not happen to us… We are normal people. We do not want dramatic change…

"Now that everybody knows, we can crack on. Life goes on. I will back to work on Tuesday.

I've seen it reported before that if you agree to go public then the lottery people will help massively with organising your new finances, decline the publicity and it's more a case of "here's your cheque, fuck off" and you're left to your own devices...

sounds ideal to me

If they plan to continue to work their winnings should be given to charity.

Bastards

I would work just to see how long it would take for me to be asked to leave.

Imagine winning the lottery and deciding to stay in Slough.

Believe it or not, a few financial institutions will organise your finances, if you can produce £21m

You'd not see me for dust

Apparently most lottery winners spunk it all away in eighteen months. Amateurs!




I reckon I can do it in six

Back at work on Tuesday? I'd be sitting in the sun somewhere exotic with a pint and a pair or tits in me face

Should go and live abroad

But how would you convert into foreign currency?

 

[natinnam]

I like my job, and my bosses, but 21m, id be sat in the airport within a few hours.

 

[HABA87]

I'd be straight down the Dacia dealers.

 

[ErichZann]

f***ing 250k and I'd pack in work

 

[ivanthereasonable]

Its a tricky one. I'd be inclined to keep shtum, but i'm sure i'd be unable to maintain an act. And Mrs R definitely couldn't keep her secret for long, so why bother.
If you don't own up, how do you help friends and family financially without them catching on ?
If you don't go public, and the media find your identity, they'll be thinking, what have they got to hide,and dig for any dirt they can find on you.
If you do go public, all friends and relatives will be wondering if they are on the rich list or the shit list. And the ones who miss out will hate you, and drop you in the shite for fun.
It must massively change your life. With all my dark secrets, i'm not sure i'd welcome a big win. Half a £million would do me. Yes, boring bastard.

Whats to organise? Unless you're going to invest it to make more money, which is just being greedy.

Just split it up between a few banks, earn a bit of interest & just enjoy yourself without going stupidly daft that you blow it all.

Rodwell has technically won the lottery and still goes to work.
