How I'd change if I won the lottery

I think I recall talking about this subject a few years ago, however that was more about what I'd buy and do with the money if I won the lottery, this time I quickly want to talk about how that money would change me.

This subject came up on a car journey back from London earlier and whilst we were all coming up with all the things we'd buy, it didn't seem to affect us in the sense of how Froogle we are or the fact that we wouldn't hire drivers because we'd like to drive ourselves and other such normal things.

So yeah, if I were to win millions in the lottery, I'm kind of proud to say that I would still be as Froogle as before, I wouldn't pay out massive amounts for things if they are over priced, I don't think I'd go buy really expensive top of the range cars, or buy a private jet, or have a driver to taxi me around. Is this weird? Do other people feel the same.

To me if I were to win the lottery, I don't think much would actually change in my life, I might travel more and find our things to do than have a fill time job and my house might be a little bit bigger, but other then that the only real change would be that I don't have to worry about money, and I could buy stuff and do things without having to think "can I afford this?"

I'd hope that this would actually be how I'd turn out, as the alternate would be that becoming slightly power hungry and let the money go to head and I don't see that turning out well.

Saying all of this, that I wouldn't change, I would also not like to publicise that i 'd won, as I feel that that would probably be another horrible thing and even though you wouldn't have changed, other people will certainly interact with you differently.

How does everyone reading this feel they would react or change if they were to suddenly have millions of pounds now in your bank account?
