As the EuroMillions jackpot rolls over to a record £166 Million this Friday, how would you spend the money ? I think it be nice to create 166 brand new millionaires.

gosh, you could do an enormous amount of good with that sort of money.  Animal Aid would be the first in a long list of recipients.....

In a very drunken Stupor!

Actually I would seriously set a big chunk aside as a fund to help fledgling businesses. The fund managers (a group of seriously experienced business leaders) would scrutinise business opportunities and take shares in the same way as Dragons Den and seek dividends once it was making profits. The dividends would then go back into the fund to help the next fledgling company. The idea would be that the dividends taken from the successful ones would outway the ones that fail ensuring longevity of the fund.

It would be my way of giving something of great value to the community that isn't just a handout but a sustainable fund that promotes job creation and self help.

You must have unexpected depths, H. I hadn't realized you had £166m of recklessness in you.
