If you’ve got that much money you just overpay them by 60% and let them sort out the tax with the help of your accountant.

But if you were to die within the next 7 years, your own estate would suffer as you've gifted too much?

When I win the Euromillions I'm going to buy STW towers a ZX81 to replace their ZX80 - that 16k RAM pack will make this website come alive!!

As someone said above 1 in 136m chance of picking the jackpot numbers on euromillions. If you buy one ticket a week and started buying them 2.6m years ago, then you’d be statistically likely to have won it by now. This was in the time of Homo Habilis, before hominin emergence from Africa, so not sure you’d be able to get your tickets in the local Spar. Chances of being struck by lightning annually in the UK is about 1 in 1m. Lifetime risk of dying in a car crash is 1 in 240.

Cognitive dissonance is a great thing, I’m definitely going to win one of these days

Well of course the maths doesn't check out, if you are viewing buying lotto tickets as an investment opportunity!!

But for the price of a few pints of beer, a cheeky little punt on a few lines can't hurt now and then.

When I win I’m gonna throw a party for all the folk who like to point out what a mugs game playing the lottery is.

It won’t be a free bar.

I wasn’t being facetious, I buy a ticket every week and think I’m going to win the big one.  Would it spoil some vast eternal plan?
