I did some small calculations and if you would have 2% interest in your bank, you would make £2,300,000 in a year on just the interest.... Not too bad for just rolling the thumbs.
Say you’d won the £115M Euro Millions, would you go public?

You'd be getting more like 1% from your bank at the moment though.

That would still give you a touch over 1 million a year. I would be able to live quite well on that
Puts everything into perspective...The "stereotypical chavs" probably play the lottery more than anyone else, so they are probably more likely to win it than you are. Maybe you should spend more time worrying about how much they are going to give you
Not really, they'll throw it away like it's no tomorrow like stereotype do until they're broke within 5 years. They won't be able to handle winning anything that big and it'll destroy that family, sad really
You keep going on about the Bitcoin excuse, it's honestly not a good excuse. You can't cash in without trashing the market. Just say your trading investments came in and just lie about the amount you have, just say you got a couple of million
That's weird you said that. My neighbour used to be a director for GSK.
Can confirm, worked for the owner of where I live for the last couple of years and pretty much the only people I've met on this street and have a conversations with regularly are other people that work for those that own property on this street. They're all too busy being successful, making bank and travelling to concern themselves with everyone else in the neighbourhood. The few I have met would probably just be really happy for you and then try to give you some solid advice on how to invest it. Except that one guy who works for a big bank, he's quite rude and not a great neighbour for no apparent reason. I would't tell him.

I'd probably find a prize for 2-3m where the winner hasn't gone public and among friends and other family pretend that it was me.
Of course you can, there exist people who have made millions from bitcoin. There exists someone on this forum who has done so, go take a look in the motors forum. Do you think it is impossible that he did so?

Plot twist: he actually won the lotto

Everyman and his dog in motors has won the lottery it seems. The forum is flushed with 100k+ cars every other post.

I honestly don't think i would tell anybody at all, and just come up with a story of where the money is coming from.
I've always been interested in trading the stock market for example, so i could say i'm doing that!
Probably invest in property and turn it into a business and use that down the line as another income stream story, but will be more easy to pass off by then.

Wouldn't tell anyone. OcUK might end up with a new PC order from me though... 
I'd also buy a new car, leave my job and buy up some property.

No way in hell I'd go public.
Thing is though, as someone's no doubt already said, you'd have to watch your step pretty carefully in terms of any ostentatious displays of wealth, assuming you stayed in the same house. If a Ferrari suddenly appeared where previously there was a knackered, ancient old Vauxhall, you can bet your arse that someone in the street would put 2+2 together and go whispering to the gutter Press, who would in turn have you staked-out and splashed across their pages in short order. At least if you moved to an upmarket area relatively quickly after the win, you could theoretically introduce yourself as having worked in the City or the Stock Exchange or something like that.
Sadly, the fact that you'd need to do that says terrible things about human jealousy and greed ...

And they are never happy because they always seem to be changing them
(To be fair, I get bored after 3 years)
I’m having words with my two dogs later, don’t know where they are hiding their Lamborghinis.....
