I would go for an index-linked £2.5k per year actually.
That is partly why I only gamble on Set For Life rather than Lotto...

And this is a lottery, not your pension. One is winnings either way, your pension is about giving up something for something else.0

Sorry forgot to add the £75k is only taxed when you withdraw. So you could take £2.5k a year index link it earn say 1% on the remainder after of course you’re gone through the several years of the tax free bit.
me personally for starters would spend £15k on solar saving me about £1k per year link to electricity prices. The rest I would invest.8kw system spread over 6 roofs , surrounded by trees and in a valley.0 -
Do you really think this is comparable to your pension transfer?0

Why not, does Bobs other financial arrangements effect his lottery win decision. Sorted my GMP and no lump some. So what’s so complicated?8kw system spread over 6 roofs , surrounded by trees and in a valley.0
