A lottery winner is me, although my plan to pay off the debts of everyone I know will have to wait a while longer - I won only £7.30 ($13).
The Euromillions jackpot this Friday is a staggering £100 ($175m.) American readers should note that this is not taxable and is paid up front, with none of that 20 year bullshit. To have the same net payout, a US lottery would need a jackpot of around $400m. So this one is freaking enormous and Europe is going lotto crazy - the Euromillions lottery is a joint venture between 8 counties.
It would be a shocker if I don't win this week, since I so clearly deserve to, so I am busy planning a Brewster-style spending spree. Roll on Friday.
