Hypothetical..

If you won £4,000,000 on the lottery would you continue to do the lottery - say the £71,000,000 EuroMillions??

 

[slugger]

oh yesh...

 

[brendy]

Probably, depends how well I had begun investing half of the 4 million. I get the feeling though I could be quite happy opening a small business and living off it and being comfortable.

 

[USER1999]

Why not. Chris Tarrant still does the lottery, and how much more wonga does he need?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Definitely. I'd be looking for a nice golf club to invest some of my money into and live a comfy but not oppulent life on the remainder

 

[RGDave]

I doubt it. I'd be too busy doing stuff to have the time to pop 'round to the shop.

 

[drawboy]

I would still do it and the Euro and prob a few more. I would restrict myself to a tenner though, I wouldn't want to go through 4 million too quickly.

I doubt it. I'd be too busy doing stuff to have the time to pop 'round to the shop.

but then I don't pop round the shop now, I do it online so don't see why I would stop. I just want the opportunity to see if I would be spoiled by untold wealth - I do hope so!

 

[madandra]

I would continue to do the lottery but give my family any future winnings.

 

[Herbie]

4m.....I would just invest some, buy a couple of properties, then just see the world and play a lot of golf.
I recon if I can't manage to live a very comfortable life on 4m without blowing it all, then I don't really deserve it.

 

[clubchamp07]

Money isn't everything, but it sure does help.

4m, yep I'd travel the world playing hide an seek with the wife.

No I wouldn't keep doing it. I find it a bother to do it now so my chances of winning are slim, but fingers crossed. I did win 7k, 2 yrs ago in the club's joker game.

I'd give my club a few quid to free up Fridays from those ladies. LOL, only joking...............

 

[PhilTheFragger]

£4 mil is a nice amount, enough to set you up for life as long as you dont blow it away, BUT if you win BIG on the euromillions, like 75 Million that is a very very bad thing. That sort of cash would make you a target for any serious extortion/kidnap, You would have to spend a fortune on security and would be unable to live your life and enjoy the cash.

There can be "too much of a good thing"

 

[Basher]

4 mill would do me just fine, nice house, new car, a few holidays, nest egg for the kids and lots left over to bank and earn interest.

Unlike the crusty old gits who always seem to win the lottery, I would definitely NOT buy a bloody new caravan in Skegness!

 

[grumpyjock]

yes would keep playing just for the fun and i would buy a caravan in sunny cleethorpes.

 

[jammydodger]

Nope I wouldnt carry on doing it , it's done it's job let someone else have some. Mind you i've never done the lottery and never will

 

[Deleted member 1147]

I doubt it. I'd be too busy doing stuff to have the time to pop 'round to the shop.

Just get one of the staff to do it for you

I'd buy a share or two in Berkshire Hathaway & let Warren Buffett play the lottery for me.

 

[madandra]

I worked beside an utter b'stard of a supervisor when the lottery first started and all the lads would talk about what they would buy if the got lucky. I said to this knob'ead I would buy an emerald green convertible ford escort (he was a bitter Celtic fan) with cream leather interior and would drive it to the front of the office and hand HIM the keys ....

He said that would be amazing and the kindest thing anyone would have ever done for him at which I replied:


Then I would go outside and set fire to it you @@@@@@@ &&&&&& !!!!!!!!


Oh how the little people laughed that day.

Only if you seek the publicity.
I wouldn't want the press.

I don't do the lottery now so not much chance of continuing. If I did happen to win £4m, the bulk would be invested and i'd live off the interest.

 

[roccokj]

If i won £4m in the lottery i would buy 2 million tickets (at £2 each) for the Euromillions. Like what is the chances of losing with 2 million tickets?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Without wishing to be pedantic and not wishing to over advertise the lottery, but Euromillions tickets are £1.50 not £2.00 Soooo You could actually buy 2,666.666 tickets with your £4million

Id Still lose knowing my luck

Dont Get Greedy Now
