Personally I think it would be irresponsible to throw the money away on a football club. You'll win a few more games and maybe gain promotion before the money runs out. But what then? cafc plummet down the divisions, you end up bankrupt and the only ones who are happy would be the players you have paid exorbitant wages to.
I'd put it in the bank(s) and live off the interest with a lot of money going to suitable charitable causes. I'd get an executive box for lifers to enjoy a game or two.
I'd only consider helping out cafc if they went out of business and I could buy them on the cheap with no debt. I'd then sign it over to the trust (the fans) with some start up capital and let them run it sensibly.
Thought you'd won and were inviting begging letters.
Investing bucket loads of my own money in Charlton would ruin the games for me.
I mean, even more. The sense of grievance I get when we go on a losing run is already ridiculous. How much worse would it be if I'd put the price of a large Georgian house in Regents Park into them?
What sort of figure do people think they would need to win in order to genuinely change their lives for ever? For example, give up work for good, buy a house, hand out a bit to friends or family and any favourite charities, treat yourself a bit and still have enough to live off.
I'm retired, already rent a nice house and dont have many friends or family and have worked to raise money for charities since my retirement. One million in a five year investment plan gives you a lot of interest, well enough for me.
To combine all of the above I would buy Welling FC. I love Charlton and it would kill me to feel responsible for any of their downfall.
I would become manager at Welling and basically work my way up just like in every Football Manager I've ever played.. Haha
Interesting idea, mine would be motivated by revenge, i would buy Maidstone and get them to a level where they are just a little bigger then Gillingham to get back at my sister in laws family who always feel the need to slag of Charlton and explain how we stole there fans, whenever there is a family gathering.
Sorry guys, but before I gave the Club a penny I would sort out who would be running things. Remember Goldberg and Tango man at Palace, plenty of money completely wasted. I would prefer to use the money to help disadvantaged kids, much as I love CAFC I would want to leave a real legacy.
If you had 100 million, you would be running things Gandpa. So sort it out mate! :-)
I knew a fella that got five numbers and he won about £1500 which is about the average I believe, as for winning the big one, would it be possible to start a company that buys players and rents them out to clubs? Obviously the better ones would go to Charlton on a small rent whilst the average players would go to Palace/Millwall for high enough rent to offset the Charlton players! Would this be possible?
As Alan Suger famously said "You can make a small fortune out of a Football club....but you need a bloody big one to start with" and that is true in the world of Football £100M is not a lot. That said would be happy to donate £10-20M for players if the club were happy to take the money.

Lot easier to buy their caravan park and close it down as a revenge.
If I won anything less than 20mil then other than season tickets for life I wouldn't invest in the club. If say I win around 50mil then I would offer the club 10mil solely to cover transfers. However, if I scooped a Euro mega rollover of say, 160mil I'd quite happily pump 60mil into the club's coffers.
On a personal level, I'm a man of simple tastes so I could make 2mil easily last the rest of my days.
No I wouldnt put any money into a football club. Mugs game. I would negotiate a deal with either Honda or Yamaha for the best factory bikes, I'd have two up and coming British riders and get the UK its first MotoGP winner since the days of Barry Sheene.
Mystery surrounds the identity of the Premier League footballer who scooped over £100,000 – but is keen to keep it a secret.
The player is understood to be a household name who plays for a big top-flight club
According to Goal.com he matched five numbers and the bonus ball in a draw before Christmas.
The player is understood to have collected his cheque this week and used the non-publicity clause that the National Lottery offers to all winners, which means his identity has been kept secret from the public and press.
On the Saturday before Christmas ten people picked five numbers and the bonus ball and won £125,942 each.
It is all about fixed percentages in the lottery. First off they take out all of the 3 numbers winners from the pot as this is the only guaranteed amount - £10. All other levels of prizes have a fixed percentage of the remaining potted allocated to them no matter what the number of winners. If one week there are 10 'jackpot' winners and only one 5+bonus ball winners then conceivably the 5+bonus winner could win more than the 'jackpot' winners do.
Only a tax on idiots, if you expect to win money and spend more than you can afford. I believe a quid a week or 2 quid on the euros is a justifiable amount to spend when it can change your life.

So how do they know a footballer won? Sounds like a made up story.
Something similar up our neck of the woods, the word on the street that a multi millionaire won 1 million on a scratch card,he has also gone down the no publicity route, but its allover the local press.I know of this man and I will bet any money that it will all finish up in his back pocket!
1) Look after family and proper friends. 2) Look to get onto the board and see where i could help. 3) Build Ebbsfleet utd and Cowdenbeath new stadiums and have stands named after my friends who are passionate supporters of both clubs. 4) Buy the house next to Simon Jordan and move in a bunch of degenerates on free rent and lodgings.
I know three people that have won big time. One at 3.6 million and the other at 1.3 million. Another with 120k as part of a work consortium. Apart from the odd tenner I'm still waiting.

To have a life I so desire 4 or 5 mil
To have the life I deserve 60-70 mil
To have the life I dream of 70-100 mil
I would become manager at Welling and basically work my way up just like in every Football Manager I've ever played.. Haha
I would also never buy another ticket again.
