What Can I Buy You?
I intend to win the Euromillions Jackpot tonight. As it's a triple rollover, the jackpot stands at approx £75m ($141,521,292)
So is there anything anyone particularly wants? Don't be too greedy - I have real friends and family to consider too. And charity of course. But reasonable requests will be honoured. Please note this does not constitute a legal and binding agreement on my part.

Sundae Girl, you're an angel.
I just need cash. Just enough to get out of debt and start over. Once you have done some initial money divvying, let me know and we can work out the number from pounds to dollars. Again, thank you!

Let's not just give the money away. Let's turn it into MORE money by investing it into a business plan!

Oh, thank heavens! I am glad somebody I know (even via cyberspace) is going to win!
I like UT's idea but I also could use a new kitchen floor--just the tiles, not the underfloor. Oh, and the labor, of course. |

Shawnee, sorry - giving cash has tax implications. Obviously they will provide me with a financial advisor, but I'm pretty sure he/she will nix cash advances. Perhaps I could buy you a business opportunity?
UT - don't worry, I won't forget the Cellar. After all I'll be sitting on my big fat millionaire's arse with nothing to do until the postman comes with my purchases. I may have to arrange a great big Cellar party, all travel and expenses paid. You okay to cater Foot?  I'm not sure how long these things take to process, but I reckon I can spend all the salary that's just gone into my bank account in the meantime. Hmmmm. Better wait til the draw at 22.00 tonight I guess. But I do have a good feeling about it.....

Let's see, what sort of business would I NOT screw up? How about just buying me a Beamer?

I'm trying to decide between an RPG or one of Saddam's Gold Plated AKs ...
Probably I should just ask for £30,000 and take my time and figure it all out properly.

All I ask for is a viable democratic candidate for the next presidential election.
