Like many lottery winners, Jane worried about what to do with the money. She was intent on giving some to her family and friends. But how much should she give? What’s a good amount that you don’t come across as being scrooge-like?
Speaking to the BBC, Jane said:
“The hardest decision I had to make was deciding how much money to give to my family and friends. How much is too much and how much is not enough? I didn’t want them thinking ‘she’s being a bit tight’. Not that my family would ever think that.”
After all, £1 million is a huge sum of money (around as much as the average person earns in a lifetime) but considering the average house price in London is £500,000 it’s not necessarily enough to live on indefinitely, especially if you start giving some of it away.
Jane remained remarkably grounded though, stating that she wouldn’t use the money to stay in fancy hotels because she has “ordinary tastes”.
