No way, not for me

I’d be perfectly happy to ‘just’ win the one million pound euromillions raffle or the premium bonds one million prize!

One million would be enough to see you financially secure but not too much that you have to worry about it. I’d keep it secret though and not go public.

I feel like that too Maggiemaybe very stressful. It would be good to help all the family and then charities.
I do wonder if they will come to regret going public with their news, that can bring its own problems.
Good luck to them.

They do seem lovely, and I wish them well, but I'd be overwhelmed to win so much. Even trying to decide how much to give other people and which charities to help would cause sleepless nights (I'd love all my family and friends to have a share of course, but know of lives that have been ruined by too much money). I do play the lottery but not the Euro Millions, so I'm never going to have the problem!

I honestly think I'd tell them to keep £100 million for the good causes. £15 million would be more than enough to deal with!

What a lovely couple they seem to be. I'm happy for them and also for the recipients of their kindness whose lives won't be the same again, in a nice way.

I just watched a news conference for Frances and Patrick Connolly winning £14.9m on Euro Millions. What lovely people they are and I wish them all the best for the future. They will obviously keep their feet grounded and remain happy in the knowledge that they can make a difference to so many people's lives..

In my mind, there can never be too big a windfall - the more you win, the more you can help others.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I win next time!
