You keep yourself busy, pay of bills, sort family and friends out and finally enjoy yourself with the money. I also expect a fair amount of investments are make too which would keep you busy.

Why do people go public after they win it? is it required that they do so or can they remain anonymous?

I would stay anonymous, and still look like a poor student if I won it during university.
Only my mates who I helped with the money and family are the only people I would tell.
Of course the bank as well lol

No they can remain anonymous (read about it once, can't remember where). There's no way I would tell everyone if I won! Surely only bad things happen to those who do go public...

I come round to your house and rob you.

I would pretend to be poor still in public.

I would pay off my parent's mortgage and the rest of their bills.

Then pick the nicest accomdations when i move to uni and still live on campus.

Would invest some of the money but most would stay hidden until 2nd year of uni where i would buy a place near uni then rent out some rooms to other students. :smile:

Of course simple stuff would be upgraded, such as computer/phone....

I think that one of the requirements if you win is to sit for a photoshoot and do some interviews for the lottery company - Its probably in the really smallprint on the ticket, or on the website somewhere

Really! I thought it was a requirement... In that case, you're dead right - the people that do come forward are idiots - All the grief that they get from nutcases... why?

//edit - Oh, you posted that aa good 10 or 15 minutes before i posted - I should have read the thread properly ;-)

Depends how much I win :biggrin:

1. Put some aside for uni
2. Buy a beautiful house in London - must have 6+ rooms, at least 2 living rooms and 3 bathrooms... very specific, I know :p:

3. Leftovers - keep half and give other half to my family :smile:
