At over 2.2m a year on just the interest alone, you could just live on that alone quite nicely !

My mate Colin was doing the sound recording for the GMTV interview with her this morning......

Will be interesting to see what he thinks of her and more importantly if she slipped him a £500,000 gift

She's separated from her husband who also works in the same place and won't be entitled to anything if they've declared their separation under Scottish law. All he could do is watch on as she was chauffered away by camalot. Bet the husband is kicking himself now!!

I'm sure he'll give it a go - but it depends what paperwork has already been completed. Who knows - maybe she was a complete cow and he deserves half?

I wonder if there is a trend where those that "go public" with lottery wins are more likely to fritter it away?? Why choose to go public, you'd just get harassed by clinger-ons. (or separated husbands in this case) .

Me too. I'd hate to go public.

When it gets to those kind of figures its hard to imagine just how much life and your view on life would change.

quite. i don't understand why some winners go public. as you say, it's the fast-track to being hounded and made unhappy. i'd take the anonymous option every time. good luck to her mind but she's a bit foolish letting everyone know ...

She is expected to show off her cheque today at a party organised by Camelot at Airth Castle hotel complex near Falkirk
Right best get myself up there then. Single mum worth £35m not a problem, I'll just splash on some Hi Karate.
It's like Elizabeth Duke to a chav, she won't be able to resist!
