Euro Millions

Do it online by the lotto's website. Just purchase 20 million lucky dips (or however many is the total combo) and the computer does it all for you.

Whenever i win a tenner it pays out pretty much straightaway. We dont need people, we have the technology!!!

Fuck off man

You just coudln't spend 100m. What the fuck you on about planning for the future and getting some equity in your portfolio? Jesus christ.

Why not open a savings account with the post office and stick a little bit in there so you have something to fall back on?

if i won on the saturday night i would prob still go to powerhouse, its a routine ha ha ha

not read all this thread yet, but has anyone put 'buy a night club and run it MY WAY' yet? they always crop up on clubbing boards

Rubbish.

It's because I live here that I know you're talking shit!

Why would you just compare inflation against interest rates within one country? With that much money you could live anywhere and have your money anywhere else, so if you were that bothered about maximising interest income you could have the highest ratio possible if you wanted.

Anyway, as you said before, with that amount you could still piss it around all over the place, without worrying about saving and/or interest, and still have it last long beyonf your own lifetime.

It's also a long way of completely ignoring that I said your money can be placed in any kind of savings/investment scheme in any country in the world. So it's fairly irrelevant what inflation and/or interest is in England.

Boring answers from me.

Save a chunk, spend a chunk, give some to charity. Play the stock markets like Gomez Addams.

Lots of partying and drugs.

I certainly don't think it's possible to blow it all easily.

I'd do lots of travelling and buy a couple of cheap properties abroad.

I'd go back to university and rack up a few degrees or something to keep my mind busy and embark on self-improvement courses etc like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. You'd have a shit load of free-time assuming you quit working.

Hire a personal trainer to help whip my ass into Rambo shape.

And I'd certainly quit working unless I was running my own enterprise.

100 Million is a massive amount of cash for a mere mortal.

Indeed.

I figure that based on that you could also be one of those guys in Vegas who don't break a sweat wagering thousands on the gambling tables.

I figure if you're not making anything on the stock market, you could spend a good six monthes playing Poker and gambling away a nice chunk of that Lottery cash in Vegas.

I dont think gambling would be that fun if you had £85 mil in the bank, it would be like playing with Monopoly money.

Well... It would take the oomph out of it I guess, true.

The thing with the gambling would perhaps be this:

Even if you won anything you'd probably develop a very apathetic opinion toward money and the value of the material items it can go towards very quickly.

I guess this is where people bring up the whole issue of not being selfish and using it to make others happy etc. Which there is nothing wrong with, but if I found myself in the above state I've mentioned - that is to say, taking that epic amount of money for granted, I'd be worried.

And the only way to cure that worry is buying something huge I guess. Like an Aston Martin or something.

real interest rates on savings for most of the last century have averaged 1.5% above inflation. sometimes more sometimes less. real incomes have INCREASED over the period of which you speak. As a country we are massively more wealthy than the 60's and as individuals we are all better off even if the rich are much more better off than the poor proportionately.

I think you are confusing real incomes and disposable incomes.
Between 1960 and 2002, UK GNP per capita rose from $11,246 to $27,043. personal wealth has more than doubled in 40 years.
In 1960 hardly anyone could afford even a fridge let alone foreign holidays (spectacularly cheaper now than in 1960) cars, phones, computers, houses clubbing, binge drinking, eating out and all the rest of the stuff we take for granted now. I think new labour are shite BTW and always have been. It's just that the greedy party are even shiter and Cameron is even greasier than Blaire was.


I can't think what I could possibly do with £100M but I would probably find that once I'd got used to having it it would probably seem normal and after a few years I'd be saying that it wasn't enough. Buying Digital and giving it to Melt to run might be amusing though.....

I was driving behind a bently continental TAXI on the way home today.. Possible lotto winner with the ambition of a bag of crisps!

I'd spend a lot of time experiencing the world without the worry of cashflow, look after friends and family.

What I would really like to do is win enough to start a business that involved all my friends/family who wanted to be in it. Hard work would defo get well paid. Often had the idea of buying lots of properties close together, or even build a complex and move friends in who wanted to. (with the obvious cinema etc)

Can see the world that having so much cash throws you into being a nightmare in many aspects too tho. (but you would be soo fooked like it would bother you)
