How long before the rag newspapers start trying to dig up dirt on the lady in Scotland who has just won?

Errr...old ? She's all of 40. From where I sit, that makes her young...
In general people probably don't care, but there are many papers over here that peddle envy as a central tenet of their view of the world, and a pound to a penny they are currently sniffing round for a story that suggests she's either a love rat or a benefit scrounger or will build on the fact that's she's recently been on strike as part of the dispute in the Post Office to suggest she's a hard core lefty.

I think the 'dirt' stories would be very short lived, I think the tabloids and mags will make more out of 'what she spends her money on' type stories which they can run any number times depending on what she does.
I have to say with £35million in the bank I wouldn't give a s*** what people wrote about me and I dont suppose she will either.
Just my 2c worth.

I guess it is all where you sit or stand. [}:)] I am 23. Hell I think 27 is old...

Gotta live life to the fullest! "It ain't 1973 anymore"

Just been into town, love how she has sold her story to the Daily Mirror - because she's going to need to the cash!

If I won that amount of cash you wouldn't see my face in the paper, can you imagine the begging letters she will be getting now! It is like that Irish woman that won, she had to go in to hiding!!!
Now what would I do if I had £35M........[:?]

I would not go public. Good luck on her but think she's a mad fool!
I'm sure I could find a way how to spend the £35 million
here. We've always been talking about a V-Flyer trip on one of these

cheers!

One of the reasons she had to go in to hiding was because of her connections, albeit tenuous, with Limerick's fueding gangs. The dogs on the street all know where she lives right now.
The week before the UK Euromillions winner we had our biggest national lottery winner and coincidentally the name of that family was Cunningham also

Mmm, the lady isn`t you is it Honeylamb? Only the odd Upper class flights here and there to avoid suspicion of your secret wealth[:?]
Just in case, I think you are one of the most creative and intelligent members of the forum and I have a cat that needs a very expensive operation and it can only be done in Barbados.

Ah, but Paul, if you were following my musings on V-flyer you would have long ago learned that my home airport is Cork and that for Limerick is Shannon.
I'm afraid your cat will have to suffer on a bit longer
