LOL fluffy, not even a select few?!!

[redman41]

There will be a few Buns in the Oven by the end of the Voyage craft ! Maybe even yours !!!!

[Ankou]

how could having zilch one day and £56m the next not change you (thats to the 57.14% of voters)

?????????????????????????????????

[China Doll]

That option wasn't there when I voted Anku... I voted for YOu could help family, friends and so on... I don't believe it would fundamentally change me as a person but it would give me peace of mind and make me extra happy.

[mccfluff]

only if you promise to never let me sober up

[Ankou]

see china i reckon it would.

potentially you will become a big spending high flyer as well as helping out friends and relatives, perhaps soon you will have people sending you letters asking for money, eventually your friends will expect you to pay for everything, or that money you gave them was not enough considering how much you've got etc etc.

its a nice thought that you would remain true, but money, power and wealth and the slowly evolving sense of responsibility and paranoia might surely change your nature ?

[rinkins]

Brownies honour!

[joggerjayne]

That poor couple from Wales, who only won £48,000,000

... will be struggling to keep up with the Joneses now !

[China Doll]

But people would only ask you for money if they knew you had it Ankou... I already said I wouldn't want it made public. I doubt I'd even mention anything other than 'a small windfall' to friends and my friends aren't really that inclined to ask about money anyway. Besides, I've enough faith in my friends and know them well enough to know that they actually like paying their way too although treating is occasionally acceptable.

Since it's highly unlikely to happen any way (not least becasue I always forget to do the lottery), I won't be losing any sleep over it.

With that amount of money I would buy a house with an open fireplace so I could burn all the begging letters and save a fortune on coal

[dothawkes31]

I wouldn't bother about the begging letters, i;d still send them. it would change me, i would be more relaxed, I wouldn't worry about having to work so hard to earn a decent living, i would also learn to wear wellies more as I would have bought my own farm over in Yorkshire.
I haven;t actually voted in the poll as the choices are always too restricting

[mightyWBA]

I'd keep £16 million and give the rest away to folks that deserved it.
Only West Brom fans though.

[karenmac60]

The question asks if it would change you, surely it would be better to ask if it would change your life. I'd want to help people out and live comfortably, but I hope I'd still stay the same person and not let it go to my head.

[Answerprancer]

It would change me, my family and whatever intermediate technology charity I choose to invest in.
(For the better)

[ELVIS68]

It`d change me, plastic surgery so no fooker would recognise me

I`d give some money away, to dot to buy a new car battery and to B00 to open an animal shelter, bless her

I`d also take the AB eds out for a liquid lunch and back to HQ just to have a gander at what goes on in AB towers

[waterboatman]

Of course it would change you, me or anyone. It could not be otherwise. a whole team of advisers come with the money, so you are not left in a different world without a clue! The first piece of advice would be to take a long holiday and let the change of lifestyle sink in.
Then you can start to think what you are going to do. No-one can predict what they will do until it happens.

[moonraker558]

It wouldn't change me a bit............I would still be a miserable git.

[DrFilth]

well i would have the gas fire on 24/7 get a new bike,etc, my local animal shelter would not go short of food each year.

one thing i would NOT DO and that is buy a tv licence.
