What a bellend
Give it 3-5 years (maximum) and he'll be selling his story to The Daily Mail of how went from rags to riches to rags again
I bet the fountain designer bent him over and went in dry.
k off cheque on the wall.I think a £1.8m win for someone on minimum wage or even average salary would be quite hard to hide. Suddenly moving to a bigger house, flash cars, exotic holidays and stupid fountains. Unless they do what they get criticised for in the "it won't change me" and stay living in their 3 bed semi with a 5 year old Mondeo on the drive and keep working (but with a million quid in the bank).
No one on PH would have course have this problem all living in mansions already so just clearing the mortgage and a slightly better holiday and better schools for the kids will take care of the money.

500k on a house, would get a nice 4 bed with decent garden and maybe a pool near me. A 5 year old 911 and a newish diesel Range/Cayenne for more robust duties, and keep working would be my plan. But then I consider 5k to be a lot of money and feel quite happy when I've got that in the current account so I'm hardly a normal PHer.
When in business 35 years ago I was introduced by a solicitor to a young man of 18 who came from what can only be described as the worst post code in Leicester, a place where credit was instantly refused and one could buy any VHS recorder or TV one wanted in the local pub. Or tell them what you wanted and it would magically appear. He worked in a sawmill and a fork lift reversed and took his leg off. Try as I might to help him by investing at least some of the money he was broke by the age of 22. Literally legless and not a pot to p*ss in. I found it so sad that he just let his new-found friends help him "invest" it better than I had done. And in the day when a detached house cost £7,000, it was truly a life-changing sum.

500k house 600k on three rental properties I keep quiet about. A used 535d tourer and a BMW I3 for the wife then V8 F-type in the garage for Sunday mornings. Tell the neighbours I'm a plumber 
How has this turned into a "when I win the lottery thread"?You are never going to win the lottery!

+ buying said candles because someone special is coming round (drug dealer, rehab worker etc) then selling them on after you've used it.
Are they council??! My missus spends a small fortune on them, I wouldn't pay the money myself but they do make the place smell nice. Especially the little cookie sized ones you melt into a liquid, they can really make the whole room smell classy.+ buying said candles because someone special is coming round (drug dealer, rehab worker etc) then selling them on after you've used it.

I worked out I'd need about 2.2m in the bank to sustain my current lifestyle without actually having to work. I would fake early retirement and be perfectly content without changing anything tbh. Apart from a track day car as a retirement present. Would find a method of helping out those I know in most need, it can't be that hard I wouldn't have thought.No one on PH would have course have this problem all living in mansions already so just clearing the mortgage and a slightly better holiday and better schools for the kids will take care of the money.
