I wouldn't want advice from them as I suspect there are some deals in the background.

Not that I'll ever be in a position to tell them to feck off.

I was lind of thinking that when they said we pass you to special bank accounts and advisors etc. It may be impartial but doesnt sound it

I wouldn't need any advice.

My first plan would be to leave the country.

I would keep an interest in the UK. A place in the Isle of Man would be nice as well.

I don't think I could leave the UK for good.

It makes sense to keep an interest in the UK. Tbh all countries have pluses and minuses.

Had we not bought a place in France I'd have wanted a place in the IOM. The weather is better here though :)

I do think they should limit the lottery to a few million and give out more big prizes. Too much greed IMO.

It totally passed me by that the government sold the lottery to a Canadian company who then introduced more balls making it harder to win.

If i won enough i would still keep as place to stay in the UK but the weather here is so shite for so much of the time i wouldn't put up with it anymore than I had to when i could be somewhere else warmer and drier. I reckon I would easily spend 9-10 months of the year somewhere warmer.
