The unbearable plight of Britain’s lottery millionaires

HAVING to wait months for a new super car to arrive, a rural home so big the WiFi is rubbish and needing a dumpster to deal with all the leaves in the garden.

These are not just “first world problems”, they are just some of the worries troubling lottery millionaires, according to the bosses of EuroMillions.

A study of the difficulties of suddenly becoming a multimillionaire has been released by Camelot. It found it takes winners more than six months to adapt to the new lifestyle.

The study claims common problems include struggling to fit the shopping in the back of a sports car, how to gift wrap a car and coping with being called “sir”. One of the most frequent challenges faced by Britain’s newest millionaires is parking a two door sports car.

Three quarters of winners move to their dream homes within six months, however, many strug- gle to furnish the mansions and take care of the grounds.

Andy Carter, a Senior Winners’ Adviser at Camelot, said the study has pinpointed a new social phenomenon of “nicer problems to have” experienced by Britain’s 4 250 plus lottery millionaires.

The problem of keeping relationships together do not feature on the list, despite what appears to be a higher rate of marriage break-ups among the winners. – Daily Mail
