I was under the impression they had a capped amount where if the jackpot wasnt won, it was spread down to the next level?

And as a more general, is £113M too much?

My starter for 10 is if you think 113m is too much, you are lacking:

1) Imagination
2) Friends
3) Family
4) Compassion for charity

I'd start by giving all my friends and family £500,000 each/per couple (or equivalent gifts/houses/cars, etc)

The floor is yours folks

£113M - that's enough to live like a king for sure.

Houses all over the world, multiple car collections.

Would have some major fun with that sort of cash...

Sort out all the debts of family and friends.

Buy everything I could realistically ever want.

Go into work and resign in the most spectacular way ever.

Start a charitable foundation and devote my time to running it and making a difference somewhere in the world.

113m is definatly not to much, thats the whole point of the lottery to be stupidly rich.

Id buy amazing houses, cars, bikes and see everywhere in the world i would like to.

Also pay off all my friends and families debt and make sure they are all comfortable.

Also set up 100 million of it into a bank account with at least 3-4% interest rate and have the interest pumped into charities for ever. Much better then giving them a lump sum that when they spend it is gone, Bristol dogs home would never have to worry about money again :-D

I wouldn't let it change me. I'd probably go part time and live off the interest.

I dunno, it is a hell of a lot of money, I don't think there are a lot of people in this country with over £100M in liquid assets, a lot of the wealth of the "rich list" (although I know that £100M wouldn't even get you in The Times) is tied up in property, companies etc.

Even a 3% return would get you almost £60K a week, or £250K/month in interest without touching the capital.

Personally, I'd set myself up with a nice base in the UK and start travelling the world to see all those places I'll probably never be able to see with a 9 to 5 job and and allocation of a max 2-week holiday per year.

"It wouldn't change me"

Yeah, like hell it wouldn't biggrin

Oh god, I hope you're joking.


You get one life, and you're going to leave it all in the bank and live off the 60k a week? A portsmouth footballer wage..

I doubt it biggrin

Some of it would be spent on women and drugs... The rest I would squander!

Well the Audi Le Mans series budget is 70 million, so it would do me for one very competitive season of racing biggrin

Though that custom built yacht I have had my eye on is around 120 million so hope the prize fund goes up this week, or else I will just be upset when I win!

This is the thing

Why cant someone like us win for a change, I'd just love to see someone win who got in the paers for going out and buying several huge houses in various nice places around the world, a fleet of exotica and handing out cash to friends family etc

The closest weve had so far is that Lee Ryan right back at the start (who did time just after his wife won?) - they showed him having got a 'copter and flying off to the shops on a saturday - class, but not quite there

Then that other chav knob (name esacpes me?) who turned his back garden into a demolition derby and snorted half the cash up his nose

Worse still are the constant stream of "I've won 26m so I'm buying my council house and a new fiesta" - OK, yours, spend it how you see fit - but for fks sake, have a bit of imagination, eh?

The only danger I see is everything would just be easy, no challenge left unless as suggested above you set up some form of foundation

I would also worry that some of the younger friends and family would be stupid with any gifts (drugs etc)

There was a young lad that won loads and started a Bike team, I think.

His name escapes me at the moment - I think he lived the dream, certainly!

ETA Karl Crompton - won 11 Million in 1996 at the age of 23, and having blown about £3mill inside a year settled down and is now reckoned to be worth comfortably more than he won!

That'll be the tt

Felt so sorry for the people that scumbag moved next to

Thats the problem, odds are some utter scumbag will win it and make someone elses life a misery



How much would it cost to build a decent race track these days?

(Thats decent as in Castle Coombe style, not Silverstone!)

That is an absurd amount of money. I wouldn't know what to do with all that cash.

A nice base in the UK will cost you 50% in taxes.
