lotto winner

[stevewool]

well it had to happen, went to work today and a few minutes later i was told a work collleague had won £20,000 on the lotto raffle , so pleased for him if he puts the money away properly

[Terpe]

Wow, that's nice......always good when you know someone who has such good fortune.

Not to put a negative slant on it, but there was a lady in our office who won £132,000 on the lottery and would mention it almost everytime she spoke.......plenty of gossip on that one :icon_lol::icon_lol:

Wish I could win like that Steve.......I know just what I'd spend it on

[stevewool]

hes a very good friend at work, he dont seem to have much luck, but its all his own doing, i try to tell him what to do but you can guarantee a few months later he will come back and say you was right,

I have told him to put it all on his mortgage, he wants to pay it off quicker, but will he listen :NoNo::NoNo::NoNo:,
£100,000 will see me retire tomorrow but if i dont win that, i still have a plan to retire in 63 months :icon_lol::icon_lol:, WOW , payday tomorrow, so only 62 months :xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:

If he's a good friend try to very gently guide him Steve..........£20k is easy to spend if you're not thinking straight................a new car and a luxury holiday and it's gone.
Which is OK in a way but still the same old same old after. Just my opinion

This is the same lotto folks were running down a while back when the price went from £1 to £2....the fact is, more people will be winning more life changing amounts of money..I'm all for it :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Most of the Uk stars back then are nowhere to be seen now..I wonder why:Erm:

You can only do what you can do Steve :xxgrinning--00xx3:

BTW, is he married ?

[stevewool]

well Peter where do i start on that one, been married twice, the last one took him for everything, but with a little help he got back on his feet and when i was going through a bad time he helped me, but he got involved with this woman, been together for around 9 years will not get married, put her name on the mortgage and whats hers is hers and whats his seems to be hers also :NoNo::NoNo::NoNo:, he keeps saying he wants out, but hes been saying that now for 4 years, funny thing is hes a nice bloke but frightened he does not want to be alone, each to there own :NoNo:

[Terpe]

Hmmm, no more to be said.

A fool and his money......and all that..

HINDSIGHT is a wonderful thing :doh:doh:doh

HINDSIGHT is a wonderful thing :doh:doh:doh

Yep it is :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Once we're in the paradise islands I'll be keeping a vice-like grip on my income. My wife knows that and accepts that.
That's why we've delayed moving...just to complete the education of a couple of highly talented students....I'm so proud of them too.
On a selfish perspective I'm hoping that a medical doctor and a lawyer will be nice to have in the family.......hopefully :Erm:

[Arthur Little]

:iagree: also, with what Peter mentioned above ... "a fool and his money are soon parted"! :REGamblMoney01HL1:

[stevewool]
