Lovely im sure to be in the Welsh family who've won £61 million on the Euromillions draw, but when they bought the ticket I'm sure they'd have been happy with a £1 million or even £100K or even £100. No family actually needs £61 million. So why don't Euromillions instead make 61 different people millionaires instead. Surely that way more people would buy tickets? Now, I realise that would entail 61 people picking the same set of numbers. Or does it....is there another way of ensuring giant jackpots are widely distributed, instead of all going to one winner?

It's not an odd thing to say. £61 million is far too much money for one person. No one needs that much money!

Totally agree!
how do they choose the other 60?
They should spread the winnings down more fairly,if you were one number off the jackpot you only get in the region of £50K
More raffle numbers is the easiest way.
Because one can spend £1M easily. The draw is to be one of the very rich for the rest of your life, not one of the well off until you've spent it. It is fine, no it is best, the way it is.
I think it should be more fairly shared. No One needs £61 million.
I remember when the top premium bond prize went up to £75K. I thought it was obscene and no-one could spend that amount!! A million goes nowhere these days.
"No One needs £61 million."

What an odd thing to say.

Personally I love programs about megohms around the globe that have been built to the clients specifications and if I won 61 million my home would cost more than a million plus the helicopter, yacht etc..

It depends on what you won't out of life. I'm sick to the back teeth of hearing that people have won megabucks on the lottery but will carry on living in their one bedroomed hovel, carry on driving their 10 year old Datsun and will carry o their jobs as a toilet cleaner.

makes you wonder why they played in the first place.

I hope they'll give a few millions to charity, I would give perhaps £50 mill.. Who can need more than £10mill.? That would sort out them and their family for ever.

Money should be shared more equally. IMO. (I don't do the lottery.) 1 million is more than enough for any family.
'one bedroomed hovel, carry on driving their 10 year old Datsun and will carry o their jobs as a toilet cleaner.'


You are obviously a raving snob.
Well I would welcome a win like that. I would open my own charity as well as a chain of animal shelters. You couldn't do that with 1 million.
"You are obviously a raving snob."

No I just like the finer things in life and know how to live.
I stopped playing the lottery because I don't actually want to win something like that. As I said on another thread, possibilities of too many 'friends and family' crawling out of the woodwork
So do I, but I still don't need £61 million to do it.
I wouldn't build a megohm ;o)
Haha. That was obviously a Mega home. I hoped no one would notice and now I'm blushing :)
Nor me , electrickery is not my friend.

Back to the Euromillions - I think before you enter a competition of this type, check out the way things work and then decide if it's right for you.
