Euro lottery winners
Lottery winners flee to Spain as the begging letters pour in | Mail Online
It seems the lucky couple have had to flee to spain because the beginning letters are flooding in, well what did they expect, when you enter a lottery there's a chance you could win that's why I always tick the no publicity box, even on the pools, sure it would make life just a tad easier, what do you do?

Re: Euro lottery winners
I only do the lottery jaysay and like you I don't want publicity.
Stick it in the big crate under the bed mate if you win, tell not a soul, apart from me, I won't blab.

In this day and age you can tick all the no publcity boxes you want, to keep something like that secret would be virtually impossible. I'd be going further than Spain

Me too....and all the letters that are just addressed to 'The Weirs'........I would ask the post office to shred them.

Re: Euro lottery winners
I wouldnt want the publicity but like Dave says it would be hard to keep it quiet.
I would try my best though to do it.
If I won that amount i would give some to charity but not people with thier begging bowls.

Re: Euro lottery winners
If I'd won £161million, I'd employ someone to go through the begging letters, sorting them into 'scroungers' and 'possible genuine cases that need help'. Then I'd hire someone to quietly investigate those cases to see if they really are genuine.
With that sort of money, I really wouldn't mind sharing some of it with genuine worthy causes and I wouldn't mind spending a tiny fraction of it sorting out the worthy causes from the scroungers. It'd be like being on 'The Secret Millionare' on telly.
