And would you be prepared to pump some money into CAFC if you'd won it?
I guess the answer to the second predictates the first unless you were clever enough to hide behind some Swiss bank accounts of companies regsitered in the Virgin Islands and then get a couple of people to front for you but that would be a frankly ridiculous scenario...

Far too many skeletons.
I'd buy Welling Utd.
Would I give any to Charlton - Sorry but No again.
I would buy Millwall however, then close them down, sell off the land and pump that money into Charlton.
If I did win a huge stash I'd probably give most of it away cos you can't take it with you as they say.
Not quite sure why they've gone public? Seems like there asking for trouble ?
Definitely no publicity.
With £100m+, I'd donate money to Charlton to employ designated Courage Best pourers which would in itself bring more money into the Club. Would also buy an executive box and get my mates to come to every home game. Would hire John Travolta to fly me to away games.
Ha, I wouldn't even tell my wife !
Can you imagine the begging letters that must come through the door? I get hacked off with the number of takeaway leaflets and the NewsShopper getting shoved through my letterbox ;-)
How on earth could you possibly keep it secret though?
Could you trust anyone outside your close family to keep it secret? Not sure I could to be honest.
How could anyone explain a new house, car(s) etc?
Would make sure myself, my family and my friends were well looked after but the rest would be donated to charity. £100m is a bloody obscene amount of money.
no publicity
if i won £100m i would travel the world havin sex with loads of women in every city i went too. then after my knob fell off id buy a mansion villa in Ibiza and rave till i killed myself. Thats the dream.
Going public is not a good idea when you're from south London, where people use robbery as a way of life. Wouldn't touch CAFC. But would always be prepared to bail us out of the shit should we need cash to keep us out of administration.
Wouldnt make it public but neither me nor the money would be in the country long enough for it to make a blind bit of difference whether went public or not.
Not a chance the incompetetant arseholes running this country (I count all MPS regardless of party in this) will be getting the amazing amount of tax that just the interest payments will incur.
I'd still fly in for Charlton games but under no uncertain terms would I settle here, this country is screwed up and things won't chance, but thats the whole point of globalisation/capatilism isn't it?? Like locus feed off what you can then move to better more prosperus lands, well the rich and 'healthier' move the rest are screwed.
Camelot do put a lot of pressure on you to go public. Their arguement is get it all out in the open early, then you can live your life freely without trying to hide your wealth. Well of course they want you to, it's brilliant publicity for them. How many extra lotto tickets will be sold over the next few draws because of this win? Thousands.
I'd never tell a soul.
Remember Vivian"Spend! Spend! Spend!" Nicholson? Huge Pools winner from the 60's (Equivalent of about £17m today) - Well it was her husbands coupon and he DID tick the No Publicity box!
I would keep it quiet.
No money for CAFC, I would buy/start my own MotoGP team and get 2 up and coming British riders to try to win the championship last won by Sheene in 77. None to charity, no amount of money can make unlucky people lucky ;o)
Just cos that's what she did that to you in 2008 that's no excuse. What? She's still not told you. Oops!
Maybe a £5m donation to them to buy a few players if they are in the CCC
would pretend my mother had won it so the wife cdnt blow it all tho....
No publicity, would pretend we had won a couple of hundred grand to explain new house.
Yes I would invest a substantial amount in Charlton.
No to the publicity.
I think I would invest in Football somewhere but not necesarilly Charlton , not because I wouldn't want to but because I suspect the Misterons have deeper pockets than even 101 million and I am not sure whether it would be enough to secure a serious holding in the club . I like the idea of taking on someone like Barnet or Dagenham and helping them grow.
Last year before the takeover I would certainly have wanted to be involved with the Addicks.
No publiciy - can't understand why you'd do that.
The new owners seem to have a plan, so I'd leave Charlton alone for the time being. Someone mentioned buying Welling - if I gave any money to my sons, the younger one would probably do that (he's mentioned it in the past).
I cant understand anyone with a family going public... I would on the other hand as i'm 17 and you'd have birds throwing emself at ya every 5 minutes
Quite suprised how many would NOT put money into the club. All far too sensible on here...
