Who wants to be a millionaire?

I do! I'm sure everyone does if they're honest. There are very few people in the country who'd turn down the chance to win megamoney! So why do you play the lottery? Is it the thrill of checking off your numbers or the quiet satisfaction of a win, or knowing one day it will be you that's being presented a cheque in the middle of a posh garden.

Would you tell everyone you'd won the lottery? Would you just tell a few close friends of your lottery win? Would you not tell a single soul and then disappear off to the Bahamas with your lottery winnings?
I'm sure we all think we know what we'd do!

No publicity please when you win the lottery
