Re: Euromillions
I'd not bother to put money into a club where overpaid morons kick a synthethic sphere around. I'd prefer to, y'know, throw money at the 3rd world, immunisation projects, food aid, shelter and the like. Call me selfish...
Not that I don't like sport, not that I don't watch football. I just think on the scale of people who deserve my money, they're about joint last along with Televangilists, Microsoft and Muggers.

£100m is just a drop in the ocean if you're going to give it to schemes like that. Better to spend it on yourself, get more of an impact that way.

It costs about £200 to build a village a well for fresh water.
To say it's "a drop in the ocean" is rather silly, as the problem doesn't stay as bad until you get all the money, it gradually goes away at an increasing rate as the money involved increases.

Re: Euromillions
It's just such an obscene amount of money. I wouldn't have the faintest idea what to do with it.
I guess I'd find a financial advisor and invest it. Not very exciting, but it'd set me up for life.

Point taken.
My workplace has each bought a ticket. If any one of us win the jackpot (there's 25-ish of us) we'll split it amongst us, close the shop and go on a holiday.

Re: Euromillions
If you do win anything make sure to find out if you have to pay tax or not.

That's changed, you don't pay taxes on most forms of gambling. The lottery is slightly different though.
But either way, it's tax free. Although if you win £100m and then don't hire an accountant you probably deserve some form of imprisonment.

Re: Euromillions
I didn't think Muslims were supposed to gamble?
edit : Oh, you didn't buy the ticket though - or did you? Does that get you out of hell on a technicality?

I didn't. But apparently muslims are still not allowed to accept the money as a gift if it was gambling money etc.
But like everyone else, muslims bend the rules a little bit.

You get murdered and die, you go straight to heaven too...

Look, you're not as good as Mark when it comes to pedantry.
