I'm quite surprised by the results so far.

I'd honestly rather earn it than just be lucky. Obviously I wouldn't turn down a Euro Millions jackpot, but if it was ever to happen, I'd rather my great grand kids knew I'd worked for it.

p.s Teebs, you forgot to put "marry a footballer" as an option...for the ladies, not me :oops:

The problem with earning it is you never feel you have enough and don't want to spend it.

I selected that I didn't want to be rich,not out of any smug sense of inner well being but because I know within 6 months of winning the lottery I would be lying dead in a ditch somewhere,overdosed on drink and drugs,riddled with sexually transmitted diseases and flat broke.
It would be a hell of a 6 months though. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I beg to differ. Such 'ladies' do not need to marry said footballer. Just shag him, and sell the story to the media. Like the 'lady' who is allegedly having twins after bonking ex-footballer Stan Collymore. She complains 'at no time did he mention contraception', as if she is not equally responsible for taking precautions :hmmmm :roll:
