Hope they give a lot to some good causes. Bet they'll have some long lost friends and relatives sowing up

I'd buy ten QE2's and send all the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS home. Plus send all the welfare scrounging criminal fraternity to a desert island where they can live their animal existence out without harming anyone else.

Life would then be so much better. LOL.

Thats about £130M. About £20M on a dream home another £10M to set up the dream home with dream everything. Another £10M on properties around the world for me to go to. Another £5M on cars and about £55M on property investment. That leaves me £30M for my wallet

I think that popeye is probably more of a *** than a noob, but either way, job's a good 'un.

Assuming 5% interest, that would be £6.5m year income. £542k/month, £125,000/week, £18k/day, £750 per hour, 24 hours a day EVERY day, £12 per....oh, you get the idea.

You'd have to go some to spend the interest alone.

Do you think he'll buy a new truck?

Why should he give any of it to charity or good causes? don't you think there are enough beggers and charities, the guy got lucky and won some money why should he have to give any of it away.

I certainly wouldn't!!!!!!

I would not want the kind of problems he is now going to suffer. Money has a strange way of changing people, especially people that know the winner and feel it is their 'right' to have a share of the pie.

$239M if you take it in installments, about $130M if you take a lump sum (which they took if I heard right). Plus it's taxed to the max. Still, not to be sniffed at
