Euro Millions.....
 
Right, I have decided that I am going to win the Euromillions next week, it is £35 millions next week, and obviously I only need a couple of million to be happy so what do I do with the remaining 30 millions? What would you do?

Charity?

Friends?

I don't seem to have much luck with that game. I never seen to match a single number. To be honest I would keep all the money to myself and not even tell anyone I had won it. Even family.

I'm not sure if that's an option with Euro lottery though, it is with the UK one.

You say youd only keep a couple of Mil, but I bet you'd buy a really nice house, and that might set you back the best part of million, and a car or two ... I know your not into owning loads of stuff, but its only human nature to buy some nice things

I always said if I won an obscene amount of money I'd set up something to help small kids that need urgent surgery, but can't afford them or get them done in their country. You know, like flying someone to the US for surgery that can only be done there.

Buy more tickets cos if the odds are right (14 mil to 1) you will win every week then you can give it all away to different things. lol

You're right - only human nature to look after yourself, close family & friends first, but then, why not set up some sort of trusts to help people/kids who really need it?

I must admit, I would buy somewhere nice to live, but I'm not sure it would be a house, quite like the look of a boat.

One of the only charities that I always make payments to is the RNLI, they receive absolutely no Gov funding, a bit of a crapper when you see how much Lotto and public money, as well as private investment was shelled out on the Dome!

In that case you're looking at least 2 - 3 million for somewhere to live :)

After sorting out me, mine, family and friends i would give one hell of a chunk to cancer, animal, children, OAP charities that i could find as i think they are very deserving causes.
Love Sam

I would do the obvious help family and friends, then I would buy a small holding and take in donkeys and have more boxers...........my O/H would want a huge garage full of classic cars...............:thumbup:
