Delighted Colin — who is going to buy his own private box at his favourite football team Barcelona — said: "When we first realised we had won, it felt like a dream. Everything went into slow motion.

Going public about winning any sort of lump sum of money is like putting a target on your forhead, idiots

They'll be back on the dole in 3-5 years.

I don't like looking at things like this because it seems like they're gloating about their winnings, while the rest of us have to work for our keep!!

Think of all the good this type of money could have done... The lottery is a disgrace.

Can't help but think of Matrix when I see such lottery wins, fun but completely meaningless anomalies in the system.

That would all be well and good, if it wasn't for the fact they've just handed over £162m to a simpleton, for guessing a few numbers.

I think if you won that amount of money you wouldn't appreciate anything anymore because nothing would be a novelty, you would get anything you wanted anytime you wanted!

ah, Michael Caroll -Kieth Allen did a good documentary on him.

There was also a programme showing Camelot looking after all these lottery winners who didnt know what to do with their lives.They were all wearing hiviz jackets doing gardening organised by Camelot, all multimillionaires who were lonely.

Thats the problem with the lottery it doesnt discriminate, and as for winning, it aint called the 'idiot tax' for nothing. You have as much chance of winning a jackpot as being struck by lightning TWI CE on the same day, or walking up to complete random stranger and telling them their phone number
