I'm originally from Nairn which falls into the missing ticket area. My Mum is a scatter brain at the best of times, and i can picture the ticket sat under a fridge magnet, or in her "other" purse and she just hasn't bothered to check.
Nice to think that one of my family could be sat with that ticket in the house and they haven't checked!! I better call!!!
I have to admit, i'd love to win £3.6M on the lottery. Just to know that was me set up and secure for life. I'd clear the mortgages of me and my immediate family - buy out the woman upstairs - giving me a house that i'd need to convert and about 5.5 acres of land in a nice part of the world.
I'm not into flash cars, but i do like my holidays, so like a good chilli plant, i'd want to find somewhere warm to over winter - though buying a wee ski chalet wouldn't go amiss either.
maybe buy a wee place in the south of france for winter - hmmm, food, wine, sun! fantastic.
Oh, yeah, i could cope with the burden of wealth - get my self debt free, set up with my properties/investments and stick a million into a high paying interest account - giving me 40-50k a year. I'd be fine - might even go for the green, self sufficient dream.
oh, we can dream!
