Well, it is up to £100m today and apparently this is causing a 'Buying Frenzy'.

Why is this? Just seems bizarre to me, either you play the lottery or not, but the fact it is a huge amount shouldn't really make that much difference.

I must correct you - what is happening is that the US Government is buying all the tickets to help bail the world economy out of the sorry hole its about to fall into!!

yep its funny, i never do the lottery but had to do it for the 100 mill. I guess i now know how much i can be bought for

Think is, it doesnt matter if its 50 mill or 100, you'd never be able to spend it all

While it is a load of cash I am pretty sure I could spend it in a year. The media bombardment of information about billionaire lifestyles has changed peoples perception of living it up.

Main House 7 million
Flat in smoke 2 million
Private jet 30 million
Boat 20 million
Car fleet 5 million
carribean house 1million
Buying footy club 35 million

It would buy a couple of months of the NACRO lifestyle, if you were careful.

If you won, you would find you had a lot more friends that you thought you did.

But what can money buy to make you happy, I mean really happy. Say you buy all what you want with that 100mil, will you be happy on the inside, yes perhaps for a short while, but after that you probably won't be and you wish you had never won the money. I win a pound every week....

I think the hardest part would be stopping yourself turning into a fat bloated wreck of man within 6 months!

You kept your multi-million Lottery win pretty quiet there Kieran

First item on my shopping list would be a Bugatti Veyron.

Ah but you can't simply buy a veyron, you have to be invited to buy a veyron, same for some of the fezza hypercars. See, money can't buy everything
