At least he's honest!

I think he's a great chap and worthy of the win for his honesty.

Quite phoenix....my other mild grumble is the increase in lotteries that bang on about how taking part in them aids charity implying that that's the only reason anyone would buy a ticket. Yes, some of the money goes to a charity but I doubt that's the primary reason for buying a ticket, or if it is then they are a tad deluded. If you want to give money to charity....just do that....buying a lottery ticket will give a little but nowhere near the face price.

Oh and happy Spring Equinox....you suddenly going all druid?

She has gone even further.
Gender druid.

I think that these huge prizes are just silly - what in heaven's name would you do with that lot? Far better to have 71 people win a million.

He seems very down to earth. He said 'Yes it bloody will change me.' Let's hope he doesn't get preyed upon. I don't know why they go public.

Luckygirl, 71 people winning a million would just about be each person ( individual ) in this country.

Sorry, haven't gone all Druid, just nice that Spring is "officially" here, and it IS actually the Exquinox today!

I always thought it was the 21st of March ?

Yes, I, too, wonder why people go public. It would worry me that I'd be inundated by people wanting to prise me from my winnings!!

I notice the spite's started already with his ex-wife------I bet she's gutted.

Autumn Equinox here.

My family have always called the Lottery, 'the waste paper game'.

Um - perhaps that was not clear - I mean 71 individuals winning one million each.

I agree with Luckygirl...there should be a limit to the amount of money one person can win. I hope he gives some of it to charity.

EllanVallin he has two ex wives both of whom said they were not intersted in recieving any of the money. According to the article I read.

Sorry posted before I spotted typos

One of them had said that he didn't do a thing around the house. Why bother saying that when there must be millions of men who do nothing around the house ? These people must get their sixpenn'orth in just for the sake of it. If she'd not been interested she wouldn't have said anything would she ?

I understood he has told his parents to stop saving and to go ahead and spend his inheritance! He is also buying them a house and taking care of extended family.

He has warned off gold diggers - saying if he felt he couldn't "pull" them before he won they don't stand a chance now as he feels he hasn't become more attractive but his wallet has! I really like his down to earth attitude and hope he manages to keep his feet on the ground.

I had to smile when I saw him downing the champagne...yes, at least he is honest.
After all, if such a huge amount of money doesn’t change your lifestyle you are either an idiot or a monk.
The times we hear them say ‘ oh, this won’t change a thing, I shall be at the factory in the morning/ down the pub with the boys/ staying in this council house ‘etc!
