So, forgive me if I'm sounding greedy ...
But if you win the lottery. A stonking £15m for example ...
Do you get all the permutations of the lesser prizes too, as technically, you do match 5 numbers 6 times, 4 numbers and 3 numbers god knows how many times (c'mon math geeks, work it out)?
Oh, and let's just make this interesting ...
5 numbers matched is £300,000
4 numbers is £20,000
and 3 numbers matched is £30.
What are your potential winnings?
disclaimer: All amounts are purely fictional and I don't fancy any fucktards replying with "but 3 numbers is only a tenner" blah blah bl..ah. I reserve the right to provide any sympathy for sore heads sustained by working out this useless equation.

Bascially, I hate you for making me look at their poopy website :P
for example
define:permutations
would get you this page
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=define%3Apermutations&meta=
google is so much fun.
Ooo lottery winning would be nice. But in answer to your question James, I don't think they'd give you all that as well because whenever someone wins the jackpot heaps of other people get the smaller prizes.
I just got £50 million from this bank! It is ace being rich!
Oh.. .fuck... did I say that?
for a start, why enter?
It would change who i was STRAIGHT away, i'd tell my job to fuck off, get all my pals together and bugger off round the world for as long as i could be bothered, probably wouldnt work ever again.
what about you lot? would it "change" you?
If the winner is not a total retard, they could change their life completely with about £200K. Anyone who wins over a million and says it wont, is a pathalogical lier, and you shouldn't trust them.
PS I dont play the lottery, its a suckers game.
And I hate it when these people don't put their winnings to use. I remember someone who won £3.5mill and still gets up at 6am to clean a school. I mean. Come on to fuck.
1) They've millions of pounds and don't need the extra income.
2) They are taking up a post that could be filled by someone that really needs it.
3) If they're doing it for the company buy a coffee shop and sit in it all day.
Wasted on some people.
To be fair. I'd still work where I was.
I enjoy it, and I'd miss the people.
I'd take great comfort having millions in the bank, but I'd be bored shitless shopping all day, or sitting doing nothing.
I like to put my time to good use, and work, for me, is that
I'm with you on that one hun. Although I may smack some of the customers and just pay them off.........
Fair enough. But do it for free so that your company can at least hire someone else
Or just buy the fecking place :thumb:
Personally, I wouldn't tell anyone.
I might buy some gifts for people, and maybe always offer to pay for stuff. That way they may think I was daft with money, but would probably still see me as the same person I always was.
The way I see it, there is always someone richer than you, just like there is always someone smarter than you. So if you buy a 10 bedroom house, well then there's always that 11 bedroom house.
Like I've already said, depending on how much money I came into, I'd keep it a big secret and live a comfortable life living off the interest and my dayjob.
I'd probably set up a trust for a big whack of it, and pay into providing better mental health care and providing more accomodation for the homeless.
i think it'd be amazing.
Clearly it would change things, because all those things that we'd quite like to have we could just get, etc.
I'd probably work out my notice at work. You never know, after all.
