Euro lottery

[Zep 0]

I just heard on the news that some lucky Spanish person from the south of Spain
has just won the highest lottery prize ever

5000,000,000 euros
five thousand million euros

I would have entirely too much fun. I think I would be in a really fast car for a few days or when it was too far to drive, I'd fly to check out the new scenery (for my tunnel).

five thousand million = five billion

In America, yes. But in some places a billion is a million-million (twelve zeroes). More info.

I know, that why I was so shocked. But he put the actual number up there: 5000,000,000. That's 5 Billion in the US.

Um, otherwise known as "five billion euros"?

(Is the "billion" key broken on your computer?

So what's that, like $4,500 (Canadian)?

I think that's a ridiculous amount to award to anyone, for any reason short of being the sole person responsible for saving the earth from a killer asteroid, perhaps.

If you broke that down and gave 1,000 people each 5,000,000 euros, think of how much more good that would do. Or 5,000 people 1,000,000 euros.

Just assuming that each person will give something to charity from that princely sum, you have to figure that more people would be benefited from distributing that more widely. What the fuck can one person do with that many billions, personally? Where can you even keep that much money, if bank accounts are uninsured beyond a set amount? Let's say an example of $5,000,000 in the U.S., where the government insures deposits to only $100,000 -- and I don't know if that's per account, or per depositor. You go putting $5,000,000 into an account and the bank embezzles it and then goes bankrupt... congratulations on your $100,000 lottery winning, Mr. Smith!

Every poor person in the E.U. should be gunning for the idiot who let ONE PERSON win such an absurd jackpot. (IF this is true.)

It probably works fine – it’s right next to his “milliard” key.

Guess he felt the need to dumb it down for you guys.

Sorry mate the dickheads over here got it wrong.....again

they published the the amount in the old pesetas, put up a euro sign an made every body go OH WOW

as the amount was published on a Saturday the proof reader had probably been in the bar al day Friday

the amount was actually €30,000,000

in pesatas 4,991,580,000 still not to be sniffed at


I apologise if I offended anyone. It was not my intention

I have given myself a severe talking to and a slap on the wrist


Give my love to Dover. I have not so fond memories of a two year stay up in the castell Back in the 70's
