I have a friend who I worked with last summer who won the £1million lottery. Still turned up for work (stacking haystacks at a farm) on monday and he also managed to keep all the money by receiving it as various lump sums to different family members who then transferred it to his bank account for tax reasons. Apparently if you receive it all yourself, there is quite a big tax reduction. So anyway, being that his whole family knew about him winning and his daughter told everyone at school, lots of people started asking for money or playing some sort of guilt card such as the neighbours and even other family members which he told me is pretty stressful. He was a bit of a dick before he won but I am kind of pleased he won because he has a daughter with some sort of genetic disease and he is getting her all the necessary medication she needs. Other than that he bought a 12 year old (good condition) land rover, and hasn't really changed his lifestyle much. It makes me think of just taking the tax hit if I won. Have you got much of the same problems?
