For me that song which i am tryng to find by the bare naked ladies - if i had a million dollars. can someone find it for me?

There is a sort of a frenzy here in sunny Europe because of this lottery.

My question is - if you won the big time lottery what would you do with the cash?

I would do - buy a house. go on holiday and then think

It was 97 million pounds yesterday.... I didnt win :o

The LAST thing I would do would be to buy a house. If you had 97 million pounds, why would you want or need one... you could perch at the handiest five-star on any given day and never be shy of a quid.

Possibly very little.

I'm pretty well set up, I've seen most of what I want to see and I'm trying to drink and eat less, not more.

I suppose tormenting the nieces and nephews, former step children etc with it would be fun for a while.

I won my first UK national lottery today - £590,983.00 :D:D

How to spend. :o

I won £6.10. I spent it on 6 tickets for the national lottery last night.

So i guess if i'd have won £97m on friday, i'd have bought 97,000000 tickets for saturdays jackpot of £4,423,914 :o

Good, Mr. BoJangles, very good.

Savvy, indeed.

:o

As for Mr. Croc, That money rightly belongs to subjects of her majesty the queen, not Prisoners of His Majesty....

You will be rewarded with time off for good behaviour once you have deposited it in my account, details of which I shall PM to you.

Kind regards,

Kayo,

Court Jester.

Hey Croccy, you can come over here and spend it on me... I am quite cheap - just keep me in food and vino and perhaps a few forays to the jewelry shop. Good to go. Oh, and expensive lingerie..

97 million GBP? I'd bring it over and convert it to VN Dong.

That would give be about 3 TeraDong (using the SI preface) which is:-

3 Trillion Dong (USA)

3 Billion Dong (European)

3 Tetrillion Dong (Greek based)

or,

3,000,000,000,000 VN Dong.

Then I'd buy all my mates a beer, but what I'd do with the remaining 2,999,999,990,000 is a bit of a poser. But if I also had a beer that would knock another 10,000 off it and now it's down to managable proportions. I guess we could just sit there and drink beer, we'd have enough for about 300 million bottles but then one of us would have to take the empties back. Suppose we could be a bit more sociable and invite a couple of girls to join us, reckon we could run to a bottle of sherry between them.

Ever watched Brewsters Millions? At that rate of spending, before you know it you'll have 4 Trillion Dong to ponder how to spend. Come on man, you need to spend quicker than that :o

I do hope you consider me a mate....

We could pay one of the "entertaining!" girls to take the empties off our hands. That'd knock another - say - 100 Dong/10 bottles.

Oh and maybe get Buckwheat over to fix us up a BBQ.

Not sure about the bottle of sherry though. That's streching our beer budget slightly. They can buy it themselves out of the money we pay them to get rid of our empties.

A variation on the Nigerian scam - the Hefferlump scam (direct deposit)...

Quite right, it's obvious I'll have to drink outside the case on this one. Maybe should consider draft beer.

No problemo.

100 Dong per 10 bottles! Are you mad? That's about 0.6 cents! On the local rice hooch they'll be more p1ssed than us.

Now the BBQ is a definate, we need an excuse to drink all that beer and a BBQ is God's gift to the drinking classes.

You're correct, I was getting carried away by those big numbers. The girls need to learn about the sufficiency economic model. They keep us supplied with sufficient beer and they get laid (sorry typo) paid more.

26th of September is the big one - 200 million swiss francs

"Darling I've won the Lotto pack your bags"

" Wonderful, where are we going" ?

" I'm staying here, you can go where the @#$%^& you like !! "

Most major lotteries have a website.

The AusLotto in Australia does but won't except my plastic card over the 'net.

If you had the same problem the trick would be to open an account with them when back in Europe and buy your tickets that way
