It just makes you think 'I could've won that if you hadn't played'.

lol I bet if they just blew it on themselves people would be saying selfish beggers they should have done something good with it. I guess you just can't win

Nope, as 'inconsiderate' it may sound if I won £100M on the lottery I'd not give any to charity [well, not a substantial amount anyway. Maybe £5K or something]. At the end of the day, it would be my money - and it would not be compulsary that I had to give some to charity, and thus I should not be lambasted if I didn't. The same applies to this couple.

No its not compulsary, its just nice that they did. Its not inconsiderate of you either because I dont think I would in fact I know that I wouldn't because I would have my own plans and my 'charities' would be my own family and friends. The article said they gave some away to their family so I'm presuming they were happy with that too, but say if it were my parents and they gave it away to charities and I needed the money I would no be happy. I still think its nice though because they obviously are happy in their lives without money
