There’s a massive £85m to be won in the EuroMillions SuperDraw on Tuesday 4th October and the team at Townhouse Towers have been busy helping client Camelot promote the draw. On Friday we caught up with the ‘Wellingborough Winners’ Sue and Chris Bowers who won £3.5m back in July at the Sainsbury’s where they bought their winning ticket.
Today (Monday) Miss England (Alize Mounter) lived the highlife at one of the Midlands premier hotels Coombe Abbey surrounded by the odd man servant or ten.
What could you do with £85m? If one UK ticketholder wins the entire £85m jackpot they will rocket to third place on the National Lottery Rich List. The current holders are Colin & Chris Weir from Largs who banked a massive £161m in July thisyear
- According to Coutts & Co, HRH The Queen’s bankers, it would take a cashier almost 113 hours, or four-and-a-half solid days, to count £85 million in £50 notes
- If you stacked £85 million in £50 notes, the pile would reach approximately 187 metres – that’s just under twice the height of Big Ben and around 9 times higher than the Angel of the North
- If you laid £85m worth of £50 notes from end to end, they would cover a distance of 265km – that’s roughly the distance from London to Manchester
- An £85million EuroMillions jackpot win would earn approximately £4,774 per day in interest alone – that’s £33,418 per week, £143,219 per month and a mammoth£1,742,500 per year.1
With £85m in the bank you could have some serious spending fun. £85m will buy you:
- Your very own island in the Caribbean paradise of the Bahamas. For £1.2m you could own Little Hog Cay – a 20 acre island with two of its own 75m white sandy beaches
- A house in one of London’s most desirable areas – Kensington. A twelve bedroom mansion in the exclusive SW8 postcode was sold for £78m
- A sportscar any millionaire would be proud to be seen in. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and will only set you back £2.5m
- The most expensive blue diamond ever sold. At 6 carats and flawlessly cut it was recently sold at auction for £5m.
