Re: It won't make you happy...

Yea, but he cant walk down the street without screaming fans following him. If i won the lottery i would still only be me BUT with lots of money!
I wouldnt have pressures like showbizz rubbish to put up with.
I would marry my girlfriend immediatly....start travelling the world and when i get back start doing a little light work

Money doesnt mae you happy.......but it helps!!

Re: It won't make you happy...

If I won the lottery jackpot I would hope to get free heating at home.

I would go public, buy a wood burning stove and one of those log makers to compress all the begging letters for burning on the stove.

Indeed Caroline Ahern (Mrs Merton) said she wanted obscurity and fled to Oz, she's back because people didn't know "who I am?".

Madonna, as an equally rich megastar 'appears' to be leading a fairly normal life these days, most people dont get photographed with their kids in the park, but she seems to be able to do such things without too great a media intrusion. It's how you live your life.

Re: It won't make you happy...

What a 'noddy' Robbie Williams is !! He could easily 'disappear' with all his millions (who would miss him ??) He can't live without the adulation is all !!

Let him give me his £68m and I could guarantee I would never be miserable ! I'd just be happy that I and my family would never have to worry about money ever again !!

Re: It won't make you happy...

Oh dear, poor(!) Robbie Williams, my heart bleeds for him!

As others have pointed out, it would be easy for him to step out of the limelight, take his money and be happy, but he has courted the publicity and got the fame, so he's got nobody to "blame" but himself.

However, as others have also pointed out, that's nothing to do with winning the lottery (which I don't do anyway!)

....that Graham doesn't do the lottery

Actually if you follow the above link it starts of by saying Robbie would give up his millions because it doesn't make him happy, it only mentions the fame later. He's said in other interviews that money won't bring happiness.

What pray tell will make him happy? -it's always the thing you don't have

I think some people will never be happy.

Perhaps making up with Guy Chambers would be a start.

Have you noticed though that it is always people with loads 'o money that say that, but how many give it all away to achieve that happiness ??

Yep...none !! I wonder why they say that, could it be to placate us poor bast8rds ??
