£18 Lottery Win

[samkydd]

When I win the Lottery rollover tomorrow, £18 million squids, this is the plan. Now they say, whoever they are, not to tell your friends and relatives because it would put too much of strain on your friendship/relationship, but there’s always some bugger who’ll leak the information to them either directly or indirectly so as a safeguard I’m not telling anyone. Not even my nearest and dearest.

Now I work away a lot anyway, and so I thought why not pretend to work away in London for example. Then I can check into the Dorchester on a Monday and then spend the week indulging myself in idle luxury; health spas, tailor made suits and shirts, a few nice evenings out etc. Then on Friday I could change out of my Armani suit and back into the Burton’s shiny-arsed utility job, park my Bentley in the underground car park and climb into my usual banger and head home.

Mind you I may only hire the Bentley, with a driver of course, and I’d really enjoy cruising the streets of Mayfair, only with a roof rack and ladders on it!

I don’t know how long I could keep it up though, the tell tale sign of pure joy and happiness might give the game away, plus only wanting to take her shopping at home when the sales weren’t on could be a bit of a giveaway.

The positives are that I’d give myself a huge pay rise for enduring the hardship of working away for months on end, so she’d be well pleased with that. The downside is that I might not want to go home at the weekend and so she’d definitely smell a rat!

The only other drawback would be for her to spot me in Hello magazine legless under a table trying to drink draught Guinness out of one of Jordan's bra cups!

And with Christmas coming you'll be flush enough to buy all 3 of us a new sportscar!


Sadly I'm one of those idiots that does a syndicate without any formal signed agreement, so should we win my mate will probably keep all the money and deny all knowledge of the rest of us.

Lots to charity (particularly cancer care & hospices). A house big enough to double up as a film museum. Big garage to hold all those 'Star Cars' I'd want. Private cinema and you could all bring your own popcorn...

(One can but dream..)

I would buy the local cinema which has just closed down and start running it properly as a retro cinema with good old Britfilms and with not a Hollywood movie in sight. Admission would be £1 and any profits would go to charity and no smelly popcorn - only good old Butterkist and oversized boxes of Rowntrees Fruit Gums.
Usherettes that wave red torches around and free Kia Ora for everyone and free reprinted copies of the ABC Film Review.

Every Friday late I would run CARRY ON CAMPING and make it like ROCKY HORROR and everyone has to show up dressed like a character in the film - and they could shout along with the script and shout "Doctor Soper!" and "Tube o'toothpaste please" and "Get those chests out".

And you're all invited......

About six years ago I had bad fever and had become delusional and for some reason became convinced I had won national lottery. My mother took away my phone so I could not call work and quit.

GO COMSO GO! WIN THE 18 MILLION!

I would come home for just a few days to enjoy a cinema experience like that again.

Could you also open a fish and chip shop and sell your beautifully battered cod and chips for six pence and wrap them in newspaper smelling of salt and vinegar?

Once a month at my house, we have a fish and chip supper, but the one thing that's missing and impossible to get, Heinz salad cream. How I miss it. Mmmmmmm. Heinz salad cream with beautifully battered fish and wonderful thick chips. God I am hungry now! Hehe.

If it was me to win that much, at least half would go to our local hospital here in the Philippines for extending the baby unit and the nursery, to buy modern incubators, for better care for the babies, to have midwives and post care nurses from the UK/US to travel to here to teach our nurses the best practices, to have essential medicines on hand for pre-term babies, presently you have to send to Manila for most things, so bad. With what's left, invest 1 million for the hospital so that the interest can be used for the benefit of the poor. 1million to my local church and The Pink Sisters convent here in Baguio. The rest would be for my family for education and good housing.

For me, maybe the occasional DVD that crops up online would be fine. Nothing else.

I'd keep working because Mrs Fareham Bee would work out something was wrong and I'd have to share it with her.

Would buy Southampton Football club - then shut it down LOL. There would be plenty of change, they ain't worth much in that end of Hampshire

Like the idea of retro cinema but I would be tempted to rebuild the Wigan Casino somewhere now northern soul is coming back big.

I didn't get any numbers. But then that's probably because I've never bought a lottery ticket (or scratchcard). The trouble is that I was taught maths and understand how vanishingly low the chance of actually winning a decent prize is.

You stand a much better chance of winning by betting on the dogs or horses even if you don't even know how many legs they've got and just stick a pin in. In a list of the names of the runners that is, not into the poor beast itself

Did you win???????

If I won I'd do the family/charity thing and then retire to write a book, paint, watch films and build my own theatre so I could do a bit of thesping without having to tout for work.

Bats.
