I had a takeaway pizza Sunday night and I went round to the shop to order and collect it as I wasn't happy with the inflated JE prices + service charge & delivery!
I'll always be a money saver
Are you getting a 4090 though?
What's your weekly flutter?

Hardly even worth winning right?
Was gonna say I wondered if sales spiked. People were complaining (not here, just online generally) that the set for life top prize isn't won very often.

Nope, but your mum offered me her hole for a scratch card.
Did you get 3 holes in a line on the scratch card?

Oh yes & going to build a whole new rig!
Could have bought the bits this past weekend out of my own money but amazingly I've spent nothing since my news last week.

Got to wait for certain that the tickets a winner. I would do the same.
Wouldn’t spend a penny until I knew 100% it was valid and a winner.

Definitely valid & I've even had a copy of the annuity proposal emailed to me yesterday from Camelot's broker ahead of signing on Thursday
Yet I agree, I'll believe it when the money starts hitting my account.

When you start getting it you will be still thinking it’s not real. What I would do personally is let it sit there for like 6-12 months so it builds up. Then start to invest so I’m getting another return. Then what you do is live off that return so it feels like it’s never going down no matter how much you spend.
There’s many ways. I would be looking personally into investing in stuff as well as trying to start a business somewhere and I would do it with someone I initially trust to do it properly.
This is just my personal opinion doesn’t mean someone else would.

With a set for life I’d probably keep working for a while and use the money to overpay mortgage, pay a pension and use for holidays.
Pretty dull really but I’d imagine feeling more normal and fulfilled that way.

I've been using the same Euro Million numbers for the last 7 years.
They have me by the short and curlys, the minute I cancel my DD or choose different numbers my orignal set of numbers will all drop in.

You joke but lotto winners are less likely to have a happily ever after
@LeeUK Congratulations on your winnings, I would highly recommend that you read the comment in this link. It is long but informative

Enjoy your winnings, ignore the doomsayers and get on planes and see the world.
Same, the first year or two hardly anything would change. But I would retire after the 3rd year
You say that, but the first person to micro manage or give me grief and I'm throwing the table over
As soon as I learned what compound interest was, I stopped playing any kind of lottery. Even just using premium bonds which you aren't likely to win on is a better investment than any lottery - there's still a (very small) chance of winning £1m, and the money isn't gone when you inevitably don't win, it's still sat there.

Oh without a doubt, but I'm lucky I'm in a role where my managers are all remote and barely speak to me because I do a decent job, I'm literally my own boss. As long as I'm left alone I'll keep working. But after 6 months I'd say any tolerance for BS is on the floor and I'd walk for the smallest of reasons (although in my job that'll be unlikely)You say that, but the first person to micro manage or give me grief and I'm throwing the table over
