if i win, it's a worldwide boozetoday tour around the world before handing 25 million to various charities. I don't trust myself with that much money, the world is too young.
although the odds are against me...
what would you do?

I'd shit myself.
The Irish woman who won it last time has got zero life now.
Daily death threats, daily kidnapping threats...
No thanks.

I'm going to spend it on biscuits
- HumanMale0
With that much money, and Tesco value biscuits, you may be able to have enough for a one biscuit per human distribution ratio...

I was thinking of spending it all on chocolate hobnobs

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of buying 12 and a half billion penny sweets. What would that look like?
I can't imagine 12.5 billion. They have to be those pink foam shrimps.

Wow there are some scary stats in this article about the EuroLottery on the BBC webite:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magaz…• Odds of winning are 76 million to 1
• It hasn't been won for 11 consecutive weeks
• Ticket sales in UK up by 1200%
• If the money was won and put into a bank account, it would generate £15,400 a day in interest alone.What I find funny is the odds are always the same. And yet the bigger the jackpot the more people enter. How greedy does this make people? They think "£12 million that's not really worth my £1.50, it wouldn't change my life. Oh but £125 million that's a different matter!"
Weird.

...................................they dont bother cos 12 mil wont pay off most UK ppls mortgages

And it would only buy 1.2 billion shrimps.

It doesn't prove people greedy, it just proves them fucking dumb. Herding instinct. Simply put, if everyone buys a ticket (which it seems is the case) you are actually decreasing your own odds. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the odds are better of contacting the winner and asking for their winnings. I think you stand a better chance of them just handing it over than you do by buying a ticket.

Thats not how the odds work moth.
The odds are the same no matter how many people enter. The chances of you having to share your prize should you win increase however.
- UndoUndo0
the odds are the same to win no matter how many ppl play. you just increase your odds of sharing it with other ppl when there are lots of others in it too.
I will be well pissed if I have to halve it with someone else

I will safely say NONE of you are going to win it, nor is anyone I know, especially if their name begins with "V".
I know this because the laws of Quantum Science deny that you are able to move in the same experience circle as me AND win the lotto because I have already entered into the break-the-odds experience circle and been struck by lightning.
So there you go.

"The Irish woman who won it last time has got zero life now."
It's interesting what people do when they win. Quite often, if they'd lived in a shithole, they make it bigger, or buy another shithole across the street for their kids.
She hasn't moved to Bahamas, has she? Barcelona maybe? How can you not move to Spain with this money???
