In 13 years the British lottery has only gone to a tripple rollover 4 times. (No winners so they add the jackpot to next weeks). If it rolls over 4 times it goes back into the fund and the jackpot goes back down. It was won this week by one person £17,000,000 ($35million).

I believe yours is paid over a number of years here it is paid in one lump. The interest alone in any bank account here will give you £17,000 per week before tax. The draw was on Saturday and the winner has not yet contacted the organisers.

And if that was not bad enough! A single individual in Spain won the Euro lottery......£56,000,000 (Aproximately £56,000 per week in interest) You couldn't possibly spend it.

Ah man I thought I was going to read you were the winner :angry:

Guess you got to buy a ticket to win :lol:

 
My brother-in-law's a financial planner and likes to tell us that the lottery is a tax on those who can't do math.
