So we're all thrilled for the euromillions winners, but what I'm wondering is why no one is questioning a system whereby an individual wins more money than he or she can possibly need in a lifetime. It's a bit like the bankers' bonuses except that it's not arousing the same passion. I mean surely it would be far far more sensible, and far fairer, if there could be 90 winners of a million pounds....?
For who needs more than a million to make them feel secure and happy ever after?
One million pounds would change most peoples' lives dramatically and, if properly invested, ensure a worry-free future.
And wouldn't we all feel better about the lottery if we knew more people had a chance of winning? If we could feel the profits were going to be more widely distributed?
I'd like to see our attitude change towards this just as it has over bankers' bonuses and huge payouts to chief executives. We all know deep down that no one really needs more than a million pounds as a windfall, salary or bonus. So why don't we just put a cap on the lottery payouts so that more people can wake up as millionaires?
