Haha. I wrote this after hearing Newcastle spunked something like £80M on 3 strikers including that pair that have 1 goal between them this season. Maupay a bargain !!

I so wouldn't go public if I won. Asking for trouble surely? But then I don't do the lottery.
There are a legion of long term reporters sniffing around the area of the winner, tapping up car dealers, bank workers, estate agents etc etc it'd be hard to explain moving from the 3 bed semi to a 5 bed mansion and swapping the works transit for an Aston Martin DB11, wouldn't it?
You could, of course, say it wouldn't change you. However, as soon as the local hospice needs £1m or a friends child needs a chair etc to help with their life you'd be there and however discrete you'd tell people to be it'd be out. The only hope people would have is saying they'd inherited a million, or so, burn through that quickly and spread the story you've blown it all but got a nice house and a car .... even then you'd still need to head off in your transit at 7 a.m. every morning to maintain the ruse!
No doubt based on the number of posts?

On a inverse (to number to posts) proportionate sliding scale, with a base of only those with 7,500 or more posts qualifying. For example, someone with 7,700 posts would walk away with a high c.£475,000. Would be that equitable?

On that basis how much would I get?
Correct - although its' not just Coutts, Camelot have (or at least had) a panel of banks and the winners can choose (some, for example, want to stick with their current bank, some absolutely don't want their existing bank to know). I've been to some presentation events when I worked in the private banking division of a big bank and we were on the panel. The most critical thing a lot of winners want is instant cash for a celebratory pissup - a £10 million cheque is no use at your local boozer. We used to take a bundle of notes to hand over at the time whilst we sorted out clearance of the cheque. Of all the winners we ended up looking after I can't recall a single one going public.
What about that ‘Spoke Spanner’ you’ve always wanted ?
Oh lovely... We have a member of our family that we’d give £10.00 too.

Good luck to them.
There are many local and wider UK charities which could use donations this time of year.

Apparently the family live in Selsey so the chances of their win not becoming common knowledge would be virtually nil I would think in such a small community.

If I won a sum of money that meant I received begging letters to share my fortune, you wouldn't see my arse for dust!
It won't happen though, I never buy a ticket

And quite a handy location for the Camelot Press Officer at the announcement today who doesn't live a million miles away and views/posts on NSC

The very best of luck to them. However, and apologies for perhaps trotting this out again but wouldn't be nicer if 105 people won a million each? Spread the happiness?
