| UK lotto winners daughter stitches 1 million Euros on her dress (with picture) Quote:
Who hasn't spent money on something dumb. Whether it's that outfit that looked great on the rack (but, in retrospect, not so great on your rack), or the pair of shoes that looks amazing on your feet but you can't walk in them (no, I haven't done that at all), everyone has regretted a fashion choice.
But here's one could possibly be the silliest thing ever. A UK man won two million Euros in the lottery -- that's three million Canadian dollars -- and gave half of it to his daughter. The daughter took her share -- that's 1.5 million Canadian dollars -- and stitched every single Euro into the dress.
Apart from the fact that the dress is, (let's face it) not the nicest looking dress, what happens when she's bored of it? Can she take those bills off and take them to the bank? I asked our finance editor, who, after looking at me strangely, said that it would be up to the bank to decide on whether to accept the money. But he did say that retailers would be within their rights not to accept extremely damaged bills.
It just seems that in a time when we're only now coming out of a recession and companies are deliberating throwing away clothes the one million euro could have been spent in a much better way.
I'm pretty sure that this is a big joke or a publicity stunt.
What you think of the dress? And if you won the lottery, how would you spend the money?

this is the reason why you hear people winning millions only to go broke. They have never had that kind of money so they spend, spend, spend on useless items and than its all gone and there back to square one.

im sure this is just for shits and giggles. the notes are probably held on at the edges. Im sure if you take off the threading it'll be like nothing happend to them. No one's that stupid to waste 1.5mill euro as fabric. lets just hope no one steals the dress....

The largest Euro note is 500... so for her to stitch a million onto the dress means 2000 bills... I have a hard time believing there's 2000 bills there.
