Â http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-20...ottle-wine.html I think if you are level headed enough, then you can easily handle it, but they will be swamped by 'old friends' trying to get their share, which is the major downside to winning something like that. To be honest, if I'd have won, I'd go public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Atkins Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 I don't understand what is to be gained by going public, particularly with such a large win. I'd be worried about getting kidnapped, or my kids getting kidnapped or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryFice Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 The winners live far too near to me for my liking. They must be the richest people in the whole of North Ayrshire now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'd keep it private. I'd hate to walk down the street and people go "Hey, didn't he win Euromillions?", I much rather stick to the "Hey, he looks like a nob!". Â Plus you have the advantage of making crap up to randoms.

undercover elephant Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Not sure If I was the son of the couple that I'd want my name, age and what I was doing in my life printed. I'd be demanding at least 3 million in compensation for that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Quentin Posted July 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'd go public. I'd rather be splatted on he papers smiling in a nice pressed shirt and a big fat cheque and the customary bubbly spraying purely because I imagine the alternative is that I keep it quiet for a week and then it gets leaked by some cunt of a cousin or local scrote and end up snapped unshaven in a dirty t-shirt putting a pizza box in the recycle bin with the headline "FAT SLOB LOTTO WINNER CELEBRATES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Atkins Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 I've always said that if i won a stupid jackpot like that I'd just tell friends and family that I'd won the normal lottery jackpot the day after, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
