Don't normally happen as there is a limit how much money you can give to people before tax has to be paid.

Lottery wins are not taxable in the UK nor are any gifts to make unless you die within 7 years of the gift being given.  Roll Eyes

Well that's the frivilous settled then dgwebb, how about something high minded then! maybe a donation to one of our cash-strapped political parties....

But I agree about the RNLI and Air Ambulance.

Good point, a donation to my local MP after all with this latest scandal he may not be able to get another Apple Mac off the tax payer, or buy one of the best located houses in the town (though he owns two houses...) and if he buys a 3rd he may not be able to furnish it!  Yep, I'd donate £5 to my MP (if he retired) 

£45m is a heck of a lot of money, putting aside £15m for 2 big charities (RNLI/First Air) and then 5m for local donations would help alleviate the guilt I would feel as I jetted to Japan (first class naturally  Grin) and keeping 30m in the bank would secure not only my future, but the kids that I would have with the money grabbing super gorgeous girl who can't divorce me because of the pre-nup, with trust funds and stuff set up keeping my kids, grandkids etc.. in a suitable lifestyle  Lips Sealed

Nobody has yet claimed a share of the 100m-euro (£90m) EuroMillions jackpot won by two British tickets on Friday.

Operator Camelot said that by Saturday evening there had been "no valid claims" of the UK's largest ever lottery prizes of £45,570,835.50.

I suspect Ofcon would have something to say about the 5 year contract even at that price  Grin

We have a young man living in our town.  He was the biggest individual lottery winner at the time.  He bought a small development of houses where he lives with his family.

Personally I don't play the lottery as I see it as a bit of a scam, one of my in-laws though is lottery daft, as they reckon a lottery win will solve their debt problems and will spend between £5 - £15 every day on scratch cards and lottery tickets, not realising that the money they are spending is responsible for some of the debts they are getting into

Only applies to family members and grandchildren. It's taxed on a decreasing basis depending on number of years, after gift, that person dies.

It is thought one of the owners of two British tickets who will share the £90m (100m euros) Euromillions jackpot is a group of IT workers from Liverpool.

Camelot said it still had to verify the claims for £45,570,835.50.

If one person, rather than a syndicate, owns either ticket it will be the UK's biggest individual lottery win.

It is thought the winning syndicate of seven or eight staff work at BT's Royal House centre in Wood Street, Liverpool.
