Lottery winner....The git!
One person has won today's £18,000,000 jackpot.

What's the first thing a Prooner would do with that kind of cash??

A couple here won $17.9 million last week. They flew to Sydney to "get over the shock". She bought a pair of shoes and a handbag, in a very nice shop, having been disappointed with the offerings in K-mart.

The woman who won €120,000,000 on the euro millions took a trip a few miles down the road to Cork to celebrate! ROCK AND ROLL!

If I'd won it I take my friends on the next flight to New York for a celebration and make my way home the long way round!

90% I'd spend on booze, fast women and even faster cars. The rest I'd waste.....

Excellent idea!

After I'd finished partying at the 'PPRuNe Park Bash' I'd come home and employ a bloke (or woman) full-time to stand outside the office where I worked, to laugh out loud at all those who passed through the doors

One of the problems associated with winning so much money is the plethora of begging letters.

Personally, if I won that much I would still keep sending them out.

Put it all in one big, neat stack in a vault, and take a photy of it. $14.95
Of course, pay off every debt. $18 500 oughta do it.
House or two near to home church. Current values $180 000.
Then transfer the rest to a tax-free haven in Belize, or the Caymans, organize a 5-7% CPI stipend. $750 000 to $1m p/a is manageable.
Take my son everywhere on business class, during the school hols, picking him up from his mum's place in private limo.
Then I'll think about what's next.


Other than that, haven't much of a clue.

I'd buy PPRuNe with 1 million.

Prune priorities:
  1. Kick off Onan forever!
  2. Promote Jerricho to sole mod of jetblast with a prescribed mandate for the new Reign and pay him to keep him loyal.
  3. Ban prudes, wowsers and west aussies
  4. Ban anyone who complains about the war.
  5. Ban use of the phrase "Discuss....."
  6. Ban anyone who criticises the veracity of Draper's posts, inaccurate as they may or may not be
  7. Offer cash prizes for most hilarious anti-cat posts.
  8. Start a stickied "Nude Photos of Everyone" thread. Bannings for anyone who posts a fat photo...
  9. Invite Onan back...
  10. Kick off Onan forever..... again!

Buy a sheep farm in the Shetlands.
Mess around with a tractor. Persuade girlfriend it's not that cold. Buy sheep. (or clouds with feet)
Sheep all die. Buy more sheep. Sheep all die. Give up.

Buy a yacht and sail off, hopefully not bumping into anything on the way out of the harbour. And head for the southern ocean and almost certain death.

Anyway, I would have forgotten my PIN number and wouldn't be able to get at the effing money.
