If you won £111m, that's tax free? And if you got a 3% interest account (guess you can't actually get one account to hold £111m), earning £3.33m a year. You would be taxed on that at 45%? So around £1.8m per year just on interest, you wouldn't really need to spend the winnings!

With sensible investments you'd be making far more than 3%

Grabbed myself 5 tickets as well. 'yolo'.

Very true but doing nothing to earn several million a year isn't the most unsensible idea

Aren't there special banks for the mega rich?

 

[doodah]

Something rings a bell about bank accounts for normal people having a limit of £9m. One would be sensible to have the winnings in instalments.

There will be a few GD winners tonight. Just keep calm.

Yeh i'm sure there is.

I'd heard you get a financial adviser offered when the money is collected etc?

edit: I got 3 tickets.

Exactly, I would share will friends and family and people on here at random intervals.

I bought a couple of lottery tickets thinking it was for normal lottery.... saw an advert for Euromillions and thought why not.... got back and found out that I'd already bought 2 lines... so I have 4 now. Oops...

Ah well, you gotta be in it to win it.

£100,000 would change my life!

1 in 70m is approximately the standard chance. Therefore he has 1 in 14 now, about the same chance as the normal lottery.

It's not quite as simple as that as you need to re-invest some of the interest to take into account inflation and the falling overall "value" of your savings pot.

And how many times has he won that?

Multibuying is for poor fools who don't understand the minuscule gains of doubling an improbability.

4, 5, 15, 23, 32, / 3, 7,

I heard you only get a financial adviser if you go public - so that's me looking out for myself again.

in it to win it!

 

[squerble]

At least nobody else won it either

To be frank, I just need £150,000 - that's my dream career sorted (which I've - realistically - resigned myself to never having).

 

[MadMouse101]

Not a thing and no one won the jackpot now it's £128,000,000 for Friday.
