Njugle Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 There was a programme on the other night about Michael Carroll, the so called King Of Chavs who won £9.7 million on the lottery. Keith Allens documentary pretty much portrayed him as being largely a media construct, who actually lives in a small house, with his girlfriend and only turns on the "chav-ness" when the press are around. It did raise the old chestnut though: What would you do if you won the lottery? Would you blow it all like him? Would you "change"? Apart form the obvious nice car, nice house etc, has anyone actually thought beyond that? So, what would you do with a lottery win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twerto Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 that program was very funny.. loved the bit where Keith was asked by some nosey neighbours what he was doing.. and he went" we got word that there is a black homosexual pedophile living in the street" as for what i would do if i won the lottery.. after paying of my relations mortgauges etc.. I would basically live of the interest... and buy a cruieser and travel teh world in a bit fo style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 ^ that was priceless, and the bit where Keith got 'yobby' with the security at the pleasure beach, while M C stood back and kept out of it was excellent too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelseas owner gets £11.29 interest PER SECOND. 8O Not necessarily. There's a marked difference between saving and investing. An investment i (and many others) made a few years ago collapsed to a quarter of it's value in two months. Bye-bye sponduliks! Even so how would you fill your time? Staring at the bridge of a cruiser would get pretty dull after a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'd spend it all on lottery tickets. Imagine how many you could get with that sort of money. Your chances of winning would be huge But seriously, I'd probably drink myself to death in a year and leave the rest to charity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 There's a point now, if you won>14 million you've got a guaranteed win, so if you waited for a big fat rollover you could double your money ......and then drink yourself to death :tmbup; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camelot threatened to refuse to accept the tickets. No-one would have been mad enough to bet on it in case several people won and had to share the jackpot. I think that I would share it with my friends on Shetlink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
