| There's something not right with that Euro lottery. It seems to be the record jackpot every couple of months.

It's linked to how many of us Wakey fans are buying tickets I think.

| How much would you invest in Trinity if you were the sole winner?? And how hands on would you want to be?
If I win I would ask MC to stay in place but I would want to be involved in some of the decisions. An initial
Investment of £10M and putting plans in place for the club to grow and be self sufficient with annual
Investment.

Don't worry. It's mine tonight.
I'll go with your £10 million too.
MC and JM to stay on but I have to sign off budgets.
I'd develop a top academy, for young player development all the way to u19s.
I'd boost the community work and bring in some experts for marketing.
Full time sports psychologist.
Full time technical analysis team.....like moneyball.
And I'd buy the refs a big steak dinner as we seem to have miffed them off somehow.
And maybe get a couple of extra players in.
Anyone I don't feel is up for the challenge can be paid off.

I’ll give them the lot, of course I would have to put it on in the first place.

I would also be ok with £10 million and maybe some more to get the rest of the ground up to shape

Yes. I was thinking, if they paid for the other stuff already, I'd pay for the extras, like landscaping at the entrance and have some really fancy gates.......and a Neil Fox statue the size of the colossus of Rhodes.

Think I'd want to sort the ground out as well so after I'd split the £190m with the wife (she could sort friends and family out) I reckon the club could use about £30m of mine.
My main bit of joy would be having it all hush hush, with just a rumour that a RL fan had won it, until receiving the cheque with full TV coverage whilst wearing a Cas shirt. Give it 5 minutes or so then rip it off to reveal a Wakey shirt underneath. Simple pleasures eh?

| Says much for the greed on here, if I couldn't enjoy the rest of my life for me and my family on a couple of million pounds it would be rather sad,
being a sole winner of 191 million I would invest more than just Trinity, each local side in the Wakefield area would also be invited to get involved generating a new rugby future for the area, this would include helping struggling families too

| I'd pay TJ £10,000,000 to stay put, just to deprive any other club of his undoubted skills (particularly against us), just like Leeds used to do.

Wow we agree on something!
I made this same point not long ago. It’s an obscene amount and would ruin most peoples lives if they won. Yet most on here seem to think they could handle it.
I honestly don’t think people realise how much 191 million in cash actually is. We here of celebs being worth that amount but it’s paper money, all assets and potential.
Only a tiny number of people in the world have that in cash, the Queen doesn’t!
And those who do are either born into it or accumulate over time. It’s simply not natural to be a milkman on Monday and 24 hours later richer than almost all of the UK’s industrialists.
All the same if I won it Trinity would most certainly benefit even if I didn’t.

Why does it mean people are greedy?
No one said they wouldn't help other people, just that they'd like to invest in Wakefield Trinity.
