    I'm sure that is what Ricky would say the reason for doing it was.

    That would be typical Ricky cliche.

    I stand in humbled correction if you are right.

    But I know of alot of winners who have done = just from reading paper, etc

    One of my best mates - girlfriend - a few years back - sold a winning ticket to a man for £3.5 million.

    The post office by the boxing shed sold a winning ticket of £1.2 million a few years ago.

    That guy quit his job and just suns it abroad now - he did live by the boxing shed but he has bought a big house down the Gower now.

    Thats why I put "normal" in the inverted commas...:D


    Thats undoubably a lot to do with it, but I'm sure theres a financial side to it (at least with some of them)

    Anyone who carries on working after they've won the lottery should have all the money taken off them and then be shot!!

    I'm always enraged when folk announce that they intend to carry on working, and that 'the money won't change them'.
    Have these people no other aspirations other than earning a wage?

    I would use the money to set up "fun" businesses

    Like opening a nightclub - inviting all the sexys girls to V.I.P tell them you own the club and get to **** all the best women

    And at the same time - rake in a fortune - with overpriced entrance fees and overpriced pints and bottles of booze

    and have a hotdog stand in the club selling £5.50 hotdogs.

    Yeah - if I had millions it just be about having fun.

    Club or at the least a Pub would be the business to set up.
