If someone gives me a few million pounds, I'll buy him a beer too, lol.

Plenty don't know how to drive where public transportation is commonly used ie NYC.

I just find it strange that a man who wants to buy a Rolls Royce has no idea how to drive.

That's a good point.

I don't. He's english, and it's an english car company that makes luxury cars for old men. He's 48.

He probably took the bus or walked to work, never had a need to drive.

How does it work in the UK, do you have to pay taxes on your lotto winnings? Do they pay out in increments or do you have the option to take a lump sum? If you can take a lump sum, is it a fraction of the original amount? Do tell limey's, do tell.

Noel Gallagher bought a Rolls Royce and didn't know how to drive it too lol

Tax free in the UK. About the only f'n thing that is though, tbh.

If I ever win the lotto, first thing I have always told myself is that I would pay off all of my friends student loans.

That's awesome. I don't feel bad for you lot in the least though. Your social systems are infinitely superior to ours.

No point in winning a bunch of money if you can't enjoy it with your friends. If you end up all by yourself because of greed afterwards it defeats the point of winning the money.
