    I'd be boring and invest much of it in charitable causes. The people I love would be well looked after. Then I'd build my little (massive) house on a hill in the middle of nowhere. Of course I'd have a Range Rover to bring me to and from.

    What else, a bookshop and em, no a whole house built just for books! And all of the bottles of Blue Moon in the world!
    God I'd be a really crap rich person.

    "So Persepoly what will you do with your 88 million euro"?
    "Well I'll build a house, buy some books and then some beer".


    :p

    Me neither. If I win I'll give you half. If you win you give me half? It's binding if it's online!
    Half of nothing is nothing :)

    Genuinely think that amount of money would **** you up royally in this country. Don't get me wrong, I'm a greedy ****er but that amount of money marks you out for every lunatic out there. You're talking security tailing you for the rest of your days in this country. Anything under 10 million doesn't seem to attract the same attention. And yes I played it.

    It will only **** you up if you tell somebody. Which basically means driving around in a 99 Corolla so that you don't give it away.

    I've thought about this 🙄
    I'd just tell everyone *possibly even hubbie as he couldn't even keep my surprise birthday party secret * that I won the lotto plus - accounts for sudden splurge and I'd drip feed extended family treats 😠seriously I'd totally look after my in laws first though

    I wouldn't even tell them you won the lotto plus. People will still think you're rich even though the lotto plus is a miserable amount. They will still make your life hell.

    I would move to the south of France where nobody knows me and buy a chateau.

    Joking aside it easily could. You'd need a strong head on your shoulders to manage it. Am I right in thinking you have to waive the right to anonymity with the euromillions?

    No anonymity when the local shop winds back the CCTV

    No, you can choose to remain anonymous.
