If you won the lottery
My dad asked me today if he won the lottery and gave me a million,would I still go to live in Oz?.This question threw me quite a lot, in the end I came the conclusion I Probably would still go.
What would you all do?

Re: If you won the lottery
There was an amusing article in the aussie sunday papers, they are looking for a new term to define millionaire, they reckon you need a minimum of 10 million :scared: or one financial guru pointed out a millions nothing now and you would need 50 million (really likely!! 
) to live what was the life of a millionaire 20 years ago.
