Exactly Jonesey. These two are never going to know who their true friends are when they meet new people, and they will soon find that people (old friends and family, and new people in their lives,) will automatically expect them to pay for everything and buy everything for them and give them money whenever they need or want it and so on..... and before long, they will realise that they are being very badly used. Then when they pluck up the courage to say 'no,' people will say they are being mean and selfish and they will leave them.
blimey how cynical..
sorry but with the amount they've won surely they will see ALL their friends and family right and they'll have no need to ask them for any money. .as was said further down there's enough there to make even the largest family all millionaires.. I know it's what I would do, and any of them still asking after that ain't worth knowing..
good luck to them I say. if they are strong people and not quick to make hasty decisions am sure they'll do well .. I wish them all the best and hope it goes well for them once the initial furore has worn off. . I'm as poor as a church mouse but would never begrudge anybody in this situation .. I am happy for them
