I'd keep the lion's share for myself, but I would want to take a chunk off and just divide it amongst my immediate relatives, i.e. aunts uncles, cousins, etc so they could pay off their mortgages, etc
It was a woman that won BTW
probably.
imagine having that much money!
That's disgusting.
That's Peanuts to what you're comparing in Africa.
In African countries - officals steal Billions every year from their own people, there's no point cancelling African debt if the money just gets redirected into Swiss Bank Accounts. Corruption is Africa's biggest downfall, having lived in East Africa for some time I used to see it every single day.
Compare Ghana and Malaysia, both countries got independence in the same year and look at how the two countries compare, one was well managed and the other wasn't.
Africa has all the natural resources it needs, but it's never been properly managed.
Ok, so it may not be fair, but its not for her to rid the world of debt.
But the words "pot", "kettle" and "black" come to mind slightly... [in reference to Ilora's post]
didn't see that the first time...i wish it was me...i'd buy everyone here a round and still have 77 million left...
there's a bank holiday weekend in Ireland so the woman can't cash it in until tuesday...she must be gaurding that ticket with all her life i bet ya
She rang the local Police to ask them to look after the ticket, but instead they called the local bank manager, who came and took the ticket away (trusting!) and locked it in the vault at the bank.
Who needs all that money anyway, one hundred people could of had €1M each. :thumb:
Yep! :yes:
Haha, I saw that report. Well I was forced to watch it by my parents but it's true.
I don't see why it's a problem that people play the lottery and that this woman has won so much money. If a person spends £4 a month on the lottery and gives £20 a month to charity then they are still doing something. And you have no idea what she'll do with that money either. £76 million of it might go to Oxfam.

why is it? it's the national lottery, it's what it's all about!
anyway the national lottery do fund some events and charities.
According to News Of The World, it's actually 5k.
just curious
