    Euro lotto

    Well I see the jackpot has rolled over several times now and stands at:

    £77 MILLION

    Now being a dreamer I've bought a few tickets for this Friday.

    So how would you guys spend the money? £77M is a few quid and might even buy a studio/bedsit in east London.

    Would you live a posh and becks style life or become secretive and reclusive like Jackson?

    How much would you give to friends and family? Would you make a big donation to charity?

    How would you live with £77M in your bank account?


    I'd probably buy my own island and live a hedonistic life surrounds by virgins and supercars. Or maybe I'd setup my own research company in AI or something sad. Tricky one that.

        thats an easy one

        I would buy up £77 million worth of tea - bags and store them in my mums back room, then when the price goes up (because of the shortage I have created) I would release them back onto the market with a large mark up.

        Within a few weeks I would be worth £144 million and I would be able to p1ss on you other mere £77 millionaires

            You only pay tax on any interest that is earned after you've won.

                  I've bought 5 tickets. A £7.50 investment to secure my £77M tax free return.

                  £77M. I could buy a whole set of new friends and have change left over for a slap up meal.

                    "Lotteries are a tax on fools" -- Samuel Johnson
                    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
