1 mill, wazzat get you these days, a nicish house in a decent area in London. Whoopee doo.

Yep, agree, snaw, this is not actually a lot of money, even though it is not taxed - which is a big wrong thing IMO - taxing businesses that create jobs and value on one hand, but not taxing lottery wins on another? That's totally wrong.

My wife sometimes enjoys this fantasy. Then she invites me to sit and dream with her and list objects or events that we would spend money on.

But then everyone would say - he won it because he won the lottery, which helped big time, not because of hard work, good foresight etc.

No they won't.

I've watch programs on large lottery and bingo winners. The ones who are happiest are the ones who didn't blow all their money and if they had a business they used it to help run it better.

No they won't.

Can I trust the word of a squirrel hater?

If I knew for sure I'd win lottery I'd play

I know for sure you'll win, if you play it enough. Just the amounts won that'll vary ...

I know for sure you won't if you don't!

I know for sure you won't if you don't!

As I said I had good grade for the games theory course in my Uni.

You make sure you tick the non-publicity box

If I knew for sure I'd win lottery I'd play

So would I.

Yes but if you use your winnings to promote your business then it will be generally concluded that it was the lottery win that allowed company to succeed.
