+73 Forget the billions. Give me tonight's €17M and a villa on the French Atlantic coast.

Tonight is the EuroMillions draw for €17,000,000 (tax-free). While everyone is chasing massive mega-jackpots, I’ve already planned my life with this entry-level win.

I’d move straight to the South West of France. Imagine a wooden villa right on the Arcachon Bay or by the lake in Hossegor/Capbreton. Just oysters, pine forests, surfing, and wine. Add a winter retreat in the mountains and a healthy travel budget for Concierge-level trips around the world, and I’m set. €17M is enough to live like a king without the headache of managing a billion-dollar empire. Anyone else prefer these smaller wins?

+15 @revanchist70 Lucky. In the US we would need a jackpot of around $65 million to get a take home cash option of around $17 million.
