Just caught up on the thread after seeing it mentioned in another thread, congrats mate!
What's the new part time job if you don't mind saying?
I've always dreamt of winning big and just working in a garden centre for free watering the plants
Working in a 18+ slot machine amusements. It's very boring and I plan to jack this in before Xmas too and just become a gentleman of leisure for a while.
How much are the lessons on becoming a gentleman costing you?
Well I'm retired now, and I'm totally happy to never have to work again, ever.
It's great going to bed whenever I like and not have to worry about sleeping in and being late for work!
I can keep busy enough, trying to find lots of things not to do!
I've never understood big lottery winners still staying on in work.
Different strokes, different folks, I guess.
Did you buy anything big with the first 10k? You ok to say what you did with the first lottery win payment? or not, totally understand if you'd keep your business to yorrself?
I won £5 on set for life last night. So I'm set for free lunch today
Congratulations on the win @LeeUK , I hope you’ll find it won’t change you too much.
Be careful about who you tell in the real world, I say this as I know a guy who won £8m back in 2007 on the lottery, whilst he’s kept his feet well & truly in the ground,he’s still in the same house, still drives trucks, working nights (!) he told his family and despite settling his kids mortgages and clearing a few other debts, he now no longer speaks to any of his family bar his mum & brother, everyone else has just seen him as a piggy bank.
It’s a shame, he’s still the same guy, it’s not changed him at all but, it has certainly changed those close to him who know of his then new found wealth.
His one true extravagance is a month long cruise each year, to look at him you’d never once think he’s a millionaire!
Good luck with it.
I few people know who have also gone on to tell other people but basically it's on a need to know basis as I haven't been telling everyone I meet.
No beggers yet but even if someone did ask I'll just say to them I've spent this months payment already sorry can't help
I know, but, as he says, he was happy doing it before and still drives nights even now!
Not to be harsh, but I'd say she's had a good inningsmy great great great great great great grandmothers grandmother in hospital and without £2,000 paid into my paypal account for her operation there's a 3% chance she might die
. Will be more exciting than most people's outgoings I hope!
just luck, try a bunch of other numbers and see what you likely would have won in that time.
