Utter retard, i think anyone whos like that, that wins, should give me there money, I wouldnt waste it
What a tit, such a vast difference between just enjoying it, instead of going overboard and ending up broke and 2 million in debt. 
Still i suppose in one sense at least he got the chance to do it, wouldn't mind having a go at it myself.

I was thinking the exact same words.....
I think that people generally have a perception that winning the lottery instantly makes you super rich - it doesn't really it just gives you a few million
things like investing in football clubs & guaranteeing a good portion of their debt is something the super rich do tbh... - i.e. business men with say 100 million+ not just a few million
this guy had the sort of financial resources that say a top lawyer or accountant might have & you don't tend to see them being so extravagant

Did you correct the spelling in your quote, because here's what it actually says:Oh my, what an idiot!
So lucky.
edit: for the record I think you are all being a bit harsh on him - sure he hasn't exactly been sensible, but he has given the majority of his winnings to others (including 5% to charity), which I find commendable

Exactly my thought.
I personally don't think I'd tell anyone. Infact I'd probably just drive the same car (Ford Focus Diesel). I think I would buy a good family home (nice little mill cottage).
I think I would make myself continue working for the first year - to keep a level head. Then I think I would perhaps look into some interesting things like being a non-paid volunteer archaeologist.
I would definitely focus on family and ensuring my children have the best education but also recognise the value it.
Perhaps in my youth I'd buy this and that but, to be honest I've gone off being flash. Perhaps getting older I'm thinking more about family = past, present and future.
