The daughter has already rung to see if it was me...............

[Tilly2]

I don't think so, emmie. It's too much.

[emmie]

well you could always give some away, i need a few quid to keep on my luxury lifestyle.. x x

[emmie]

how do they remain anonymous, after all it's going to be difficult to explain
if you suddenly go from being relatively potless, to rolling in it, or that half the outlaws come to stay

[4getmenot]

you just say you won a small amount to friends or inherited some money.

[emmie]

almost 108 million is a little bit more than the usual inheritance.

[4getmenot]

well you wouldnt be spending it all at once for people to know how much

[4getmenot]

get a nice car maybe move house, then after that just tel people you invested rest of money and its doing really well.

[emmie]

i am sure that some go out and buy lots of toys, a boat, plane, and anything that will make the money just disappear, i would put some of into an animal sanctuary, for the poor defenceless creatures that get dumped.

[emmie]

it would get out somehow, because if you tell a close relative, they will invariably mention it to someone else, not only that, if you move buy a nice house, car, then some of the old friends may not be friends any longer.

[4getmenot]

thats why i would only tell them small amount. i wouldnt buy toys either. there are lots of people id want to help.

[paddywak]

Well I can assure you all it's not going to change our lifestyle at all, and I'll still talk to you all.

[Baldric]

I guess you mean the Euromillions draw

[emmie]

yes, seems a lot of money for one person, or a family, do you think they can donate some to AB

[Old_Geezer]

Utterly amazed that it's been claimed. I've not checked my ticket yet. Must be some mistake.

[Booldawg]

The only way not to arouse suspicion is by not spending it. Or buying your own private island in the pacific and going off the radar!

[emmie]

The man has been named a Neil Trotter, he said he was going to become a Millionaire. x x

[sandyRoe]

'This time next year...' If he'd said that last year how right he'd have been.

[AB Editor]

I could do with a few quid if it's one of you lot :)

[emmie]

i can't do Del Boy's millyonaire, but that's an approximation, great name of the winner,
