someone just won £113,019,926.00
 

on the Euromillions lottery

Tax free


lucky bastard

Indeed! I didn't win anything AT ALL... damn.

I wonder if my parents bought tickets :)

I did :(

hm not sure if its a win, the winner is probably dead somewhere with heart attack :2 cents:

That gotta be me one day :)

Someone/syndicate in the UK.

Thats a pretty fucking disgusting amount of money :321GFY :thumbsup


Fair play to them :pimp


@ theDa... even a huge syndicate, thats a fair bit each :winkwink:

lucky fucker :)

I don't see what's disgusting about it.

£113,019,926 = US$180,413,735 = XC$486,851,946 (East Carribbean Dollars)

Biggest lottery jackpot prize ever won by a single ticket in the UK.

Is lottery in UK like Canada, you get the amount tax free in 1 lump sum?

Yes .

? 129M whould make happy 129 winners with ?1M each instead of only one lucky bastard who probably will spend it like a crazy mother fucker :2 cents:

poor guy....

who cares go fuck yourself

They'll be broke within a decade.

If I ever won that much I'd stash at least half in staggered investments so that if I was a total fuckup I would still at least have some money coming in.

Then again, most people who buy lottery tickets are probably not that financially savvy anyway.

I thought of you 1st, wasn't you tho huh?

Wish the US kept their money off of lottery money like most other nations do.

That will be spended fast on whores and drugs.

MAybe, but geeeeee, this is insane !!!!!

Very good chop? Or real?

May very well be a cursed bastard from now on. :2 cents:

I dunno, 20mil, ya that's easily blown off. $200mil, that's gonna take some serious fucking effort to burn through...

Totally agree.

I'd rather have the ?129M over the ?1M any day of the week.

Never seen any reports on lottery winners eh? Most are almost guaranteed to lose it all.

The comment "disgusting" was a joke... its an obscene amount of money :thumbsup

:1orglaugh I wish :thumbsup

And I still find time to post here. LOL

yup was watching this show the other day.. a lot of them end up losing it, $1million, $100 million.. doesnt matter..

Its easy to blow $100m if u try.. a few nice cars and houses and at least $50m is gone.. then upkeep, partying, throw in a private jet and boat, and the other $50m is gone too

if i did win $100mil, i'd honestly invest $90m of it..

Then put $10m in ING or some shit and have it automatically withdraw and send me $250k/yr(this way my $10m lasts till i die when(10M+interest will last at least 50yrs if $250k/yr is paid out)

So i'll let my investments sit, while i live off $20k or so a month..anything i cant afford for $20k a month i wont get..

The mistake people make is they up their lifestyle so much.. no need to buy a $1mil car now u have $100m, a $50k car will still do.. so will a $300-400k house.. no need to buy a $40mil house

I'd spend £5 mill on a house, £500,000 on a car, another few mill on random stuff then live of interest. I probs wouldn't even bother investing as the interest I'd get from that amount of money spread across bank accounts would be so unreal that who cares about trying to make more money, I'd live the life.

Job done.

Media are reporting the owner of the ticket is losing £6000-9000/day in interest.

Like they are fucking bothered :)

The interest for the winner is £9k a day and the person who won the jackpot still has not come to claim it

Jesus thats insane LOL,

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

yeah, but people who go from no money to lots of money can be pretty stupid. you could blow through $200mil in a month if you tried

if I won, I would keep it a secret to everyone. Then I would pretend I was working some job that required me to travel to different places and work on product development and a year or so later, i would magically sell all of that for approx what I won

why? because when you win money, EVERYONE has their hand out. when you "earn" it, only a fraction of those people will still beg :thumbsup

The lucky winner will have the money paid into their ePassporte Virtual Visa account! :D



Oh... :/

Still unclaimed ??

I can imagine some idiot who has those numbers and lost his ticket, running around like crazy looking for the fucker! :1orglaugh

Can you imagine the winner has forgot they had bought a ticket :Oh crap


Thats quite crazy that its still unclaimed :2 cents:

no, your grand grand parents did :winkwink:

i've been playing lotto since i was leagal to play .. from $2 a week to $10 every friday... one day it'll be my day :)

haha thats some sick interest.. whats the point of investing if u can get $10k/day off interest. hahah thats some sick shit

goodluck, odds are u'll die in a plane crash first

I've never heard of euromillions. Will look into it.
I want 113 mille, too!

I'd buy an island lol.

wow!!!! incredible!

Apparently the news today is it is an old couple who have won but the husband has threw the ticket away. They are from the area the ticket was bought, so I guess the Lottery will go through CCTV of the store the purchase was made and try to verify it was them.

Hope they get it, if they did indeed win it.

How the hell do they make that work and why in the hell doesn't the US do it that way. :helpme

In the Florida Lotto you get taxed on 20 year payments of the total amount or get taxed on a REDUCED 1 lump sum. I think you even get taxed twice on the lump sum.

Also where does the remainder of the lump sum go? Doesn't seem to go back into the jackpot and it doesn't seem to go to the school system which is how they sold the idea of having a lotto in the first place, to generate money for the schools.

It's screwed up and exactly the reason I refuse to let them give me an opportunity to win an insane amount of money :upsidedow
