Trying to be happy for them but it really should have been me

Personally, I’m against these massive lottery wins.
One person with 83m: doesn’t know what to do with a sudden windfall like that. They just splash it and it’s not uncommon that lottery winners lost it all to become broke. In a world with dwindling resources what good is this?
Instead, pick 83 winners and give them a million each. They will have an opportunity to change their lives.

Why is this not viewed as unearned income and taxed???

With 83 million, you could start a small network of non profit food halls for parents, elderly, singles and needy. A pound a plate. Also you can stay there until 11pm.
Starmer would just give 83 million to Ukraine

I had also hoped this was going to be me. I know there are literally millions of people in Europe who thought the same.
If I had won £83m the money would have helped family and friends.
It would pay for a live in carer for a relative in need
It would have bought a commercial property which I would have turned into a big family centre.
I would have set up a social development trust fund to help maintain the town I live in.
I would donate to local schools to make sure no-one goes hungry and they have all the materials.
I would also donate to local church.
Of course there would be some luxuries but this size of win can enable all of those things,
A win of £1m, whilst it would also be amazing there is significantly less opportunity to spread it around to share.
Just my view.

Man I wouldn’t tell anyone. Maybe the missus.
Moves house draft up some mortgage papers to show those that want proof. Pay it off straight away.
Maybe tell them I did well selling bitcoin or something
But a smaller amount

I hope that they have the wisdom to use it sensibly, bringing happiness not just for themselves but for many people less well off.
