190 euromillions winner trying to win again

B.A._Baracus

Thought i'd post this:

BEAMING £148.6million Lottery winner Adrian Bayford obviously reckons he is on a roll... as he forks out £4 on two more EuroMillions tickets yesterday.

Exactly a week after buying the slip that changed his life, the 41-year-old dad of two tucked his latest “investment” safely away before leaving a Tesco store to go on a shopping spree for his kids.
The music shop owner, in Dundee with four-year-old son Cameron and brother-in-law Colin McCulloch, then walked into the town’s Disney store with his lad on his shoulders.
Cameron wandered the aisles choosing his favourite toys.

Greed. Utter greed.
he wins 190 million euro. Wants to win it again.

So if I do a bet today and it comes in I should never bet again???

With his lad on his shoulder? Some people have it all!:mad:

And if there was an article about him doing a Lucky 15 in his local bookies you'd be saying the same thing again, maybe he just likes the thrill of a gamble/chance to win money!

Just then you think the Sun cant get any lower (not at sunset like) this article comes along.

Someone spends 4 quid? Seriously?

If only Sean Quinn had of stopped trying to accumulate wealth when he got to 190million.......

Ah shure leave him off.. €190,000,000 wouldn't get you as much these days as it would have 20 years ago.

The bang of jealousy off this thread!

So kfallon,
You are telling us that if you won 190 million. You would continue to do the euromillions to try and win another 30 million (or whatever the jackpot may be) ?

And if you won that, you would want to win AGAIN?! and again? ... and again?

How is this even a story?

You just sound jealous tbh. Let the man alone. Its his cash to choose how to spend it.

Schism

What's the problem? Why should he be called greedy?

He got lucky and won some money, surely he's allowed to do as he pleases with it within the law. Would you consider it greedy of him to invest some of his winnings to try and generate more money?

Kidchameleon

Does anyone from the lotto is a tax on idiots brigade have anything to say on this?



...Thought not.

I hope he only wins £2.00

Maybe! It's costing him €4 a week! I'd still continue to have a few bets at the weekend too even though I have €190m in the bank.

I really don't see what your point is tbh!

I don't see you giving out about Billionaire Businessmen trying to accumulate more wealth so why does this guy get it in the neck when he is only 'risking' €4 every week to try accumulate a large return. It's his money, let him do what he wants with it

But I say he's an idiot because it's freak luck to win the lotto.
He'd sooner lose 190m on it than win it again.

Run_to_da_hills

He should start investing in wheelbarrows, he will need enough of them when the ar*se falls out of the economy.

toc2012

if i won €190 mill, id wait until its at this level again and spend a few mill on one draw to win it again, sure why not

For the record. I am not jealous or begrudging or anything like that. he won it. So be it. Good for him

But... does that mean i cant call a greedy person just that? without being accused of the above?

But yet, if i created a thread moaning about the public sector and their wages i'd get dozens of 'thanks' on here? .. But you wouldnt call me jealous then?

Omeceron

If the Sun were stalking me after a massive lotto win, I'd definitely buy a lotto ticket.

Real Life

maybe his only goal in life is to win the euromillions twice. nothing wrong with that. why would you crush a mans dreams?
you dont even know what hes doing with the money.

maxfresh

Its probably just a habit he got into buying a lottery ticket every week or whatever

I pity the fool who called him greedy :pac:

engrish?

I used have a recurring dream as a kid that every time I put my hand in my pocket, a pound coin would magically appear. It meant that when I wanted something for £100 (like a mountain bike which in the 80's cost 100 punts for a great one) I would have to put my hand in my pocket 100 times. I hope my subconscious didnt think I was greedy.

I'm not sure why I felt the need to share that with you strangers.

Lapin

Mind you, if I did win the Euromillions jackpot, I'd stop playing after that.

Simply because I'd be afraid of winning it a second time.

The odds against that happening are so vast that if it did happen,
people would then question the validity of both wins.

Little Acorn

Maybe he is buying it for a friend? He just won millions, perhaps his friends think he has the "lucky" touch, and hoped some of it would rub off on them?

I have never done the lotto, but often have friends asking me to scratch scratchcards for them, or pick a horse for them, because I tend to be quite lucky when picking things for others. Never won anything big on a scratchcard for myself though.

Duggy747

I'm not jealous he has €190 million.

Now, if he had a monkey I'd be jealous.

I want my monkey, dammit.

In your dream, did you ever get arrested for lewd conduct ?

With odds of 116 million to 1 and 2euro a line it would be a sure way of losing your millions;)

Begrudgery is a disgusting trait.

fishy fishy

i would feel sorry for anyone winning that amount of money to be honest - yes, its fantastic...........for a while.

but in the long run I would imagine it would bring misery, jealousy, untrustworthiness, insecurity, and would make you a bit of a target for the "woe is me" brigade, and also from the "how do I get me some of that money" brigade.

no, not worth winning really, unless most of it is given away.

Yes, yes I would. Why? Because it's fun to play the lotto.

Sure you'd make back the €4 for the ticket in around 10 seconds with your interest

He probably needs the money to build a time machine so he can travel back home... To the palaeolithic era....

Head on him! He's the most un-evolved person I've ever seen!

Why would he stop playing?

Did Federer stop playing after winning his first Wimbledon?
Did Brazil stop playing after their 1st World Cup?
Did England stop playing after their 1st World cu.... Oh.

Comparison fail.

up for anything

I would have thought he'd have some security chaps following him around in case of kidnappers. I must make a plan.

Bit of a cheapskate though - shopping spree in Tescos and the Disney store.

At 4 quid a week, I'd say it'd take a while.

He still has the same chance of winning as everyone else that enters, no?

dulpit

One thing people are missing is maybe he enters the same numbers each week? I know my parents have played the same 6 numbers for a line every single draw since the lotto started. So if they won the lotto they'd still play with the same numbers, just in case...

You know how it is.......

You spend your last 2 euro on a lottery ticket. Saturday evening the draw takes place. You win, Yey!

But, you're skint. Not even enough for a bottle of sparking Devils Bit to celebrate :mad: The next's day is Sunday and the banks are closed so no advance of cash there.

Millions and Millions on a little piece of paper. No credit in phone to call the lottery people. No Mon, no fun. Jeez I am depressed already!
