Saturday's lottery jackpot

The nice people at the lottery have emailed me to let me know that they expect their site to crash tomorrow.

Why are you wasting your time on a piddly £50 million? You should be playing for $700 million.

Yeah, that's just amazing. That's getting into "struggle to spend it" territory.

I'd be happy with just the 50 .Heck even a solitary million would be nice - not enough to retire on but enough to allow early retirement if invested wisely.

Yet again I won a free ticket from Weds, so may as well enter.

Nah. Skint. Can someone lend me a pot?

Get a bridging loan!

I got that email around one this morning. Honest, at least

Apparently you do not get it all at once but spread over 29 years.

And you pay tax in it too.


According to the radio anyway

You can choose whether to take a lower lump sum or the annuity. I read something the other day arguing that it's best to take the cash, as the annuity providers could legally renege on you a few years down the line. I think the lump sum would work out to something over $400million, and still be well over $200million after tax

Should keep you going for a few years

Now up to $800 million.
