EuroMillions is £166 million tonight!

Rather than so very much money, I have always felt there should either be a smaller jackpot - say £5m - or several jackpots…

Only ever bought about five since it started so I wont win.

Still no winners! £202 million jackpot up for grabs on Friday!

Such a win could do so much good.
I agree it could be stressful. I’d just have to ‘get rid of it’ asap then I’d not be tying myself in knots.
Says the woman who if she finds 10p in her pocket has to spend it.

Saying that would like to buy our local hospital extra equipment & especially scanning machines- now that would be great 😊

I just wouldn’t want to be responsible for who gets what. Maybe always thinking I could have done better with it. I suppose, yes, give it to a few big charities and let them sort it out. But then all the little ones crying out for funds - no, it’d drive me mad. And goodness knows I’m halfway there already.

DH and I have just had to decide which one local charity got an £800 grant. We plumped for the food bank, but I’m feeling so bad when I now see heart rending appeals from the Baby Bank…

Hope those passports arrive today FGT that will seem like a win for you.

Or just give it away and sort loads of families out?
That’s what I’d do.
Not micromanage to individuals just donate a huge lump sum for them to share out as they see best.
I’m too old and CBA to invest. I’d spend it all as best I could by sharing and donating!

I wouldn’t like to win that, think of all the hassle that would go winning that much.
I’d be happy with just enough to sort my family out 😊

I like the frisson at the beginning of each month on checking my premium bonds.
I know all about the capital losing value with inflation but I am 87 and the time of life I have been saving for is here now.
I don’t need to save anymore, I can spend if I like.

I will keep my fingers crossed for your passports FGT2 despite your lack of text message from the PO.

I’ve never bought a lottery ticket but I can see the appeal and it’s a bit of excitement waiting.
It’s the same with Premium Bonds.
Two people win one million each month and their money is safe.
I know that statistically I am highly unlikely to win, but then the two folk who win each month are also equally unlikely.

Didn’t somebody win once with well under £100 invested?

Yes I agree uttb and yet that very clever enticement “you’ve got to be in it to win it” niggles!

Blimey escaped!

Ah well, I won’t bother again.
It just shows how unlikely a win is when one imagines the multi millions which must have been bought.

I didn’t win. 😢
But as Himself reminds me - I can’t be lucky in love AND money!

Will be checking our postbox this afternoon JE but I’m not very hopeful. Apparently Royal Mail send a text message first to say it’s on its way and we haven’t received one (yet).

There is no winner!
£188 million next week

Has it been announced which country the winner lives in?
If it is GB I might check the first ticket I have ever bought, prompted by this thread.

Thanks for the reminder - now what numbers do we need?? I feel a 2 is in the air ….

Good luck with your ticket FGT2 although this morning you would probably happily settle for your passports to arrive!!

Good on you Esmay!!

I’ve not checked my ticket yet.
I’m enjoying TIB and my reassuringly quiet life while I (maybe still) can! 😂

I didn't buy a ticket -perhaps I shall in future .
If I won such an enormous amount of money I'd like to provide transport for the elderly people in my area .
When they need to attend a medical appointment or shop it's a nightmare for them .
Our local taxi service isn't good .
It's not available during the afternoons because of contracts with local schools .
There's a lack of taxi drivers .
Some are extremely rude and unhelpful .
I'd also like to provide outings for them .
I visit elderly ladies ,who are housebound and they have no quality of life and nothing to look forward to .

Well seeing as I only want £5 million, we can share it, Grannynannywanny.

Any millionaires this morning?? I don’t usually buy a euromillions ticket but gave in to temptation yesterday and bought one online. I forgot to check the results last night and noticed I had a National Lottery email this morning saying “Good news you’ve won a prize”

I signed in to find I’d won £2.50 for 2 correct numbers. I think I’ll reinvest it in a lucky dip for the lotto tonight. The prize fund is £11.6 million. That’ll be easier to count than the £166 million.
