The couple that won £160+ million on euromillions gave a chunk to the SNP, so I guess she's hoping for the same

I was thinking about the American one that's now touching £1bn - it's quite (actually very) hard to imagine suddenly coming into that kind of money. Everything you've learned about money is suddenly totally turned upside down.

Except you won't get 1bn more like a third of that, still nice little nest egg.

Would put you well on the way to getting a foot on the London property market.

$1.5 billion if taken over 30-odd years.

Probably $700 million if taken in a cash lump sum.

Take off 30% tax and you're down to $490 million.

So you're talking £340million - hardly worth winning, really.
