You can avoid the celebrity but elements are unavoidable. If I want to get comatoised on ketamine at a messy picnic my family aren't going to read about it in the papers.
Re the charity work / mobbed by kids thing, you don't need celebrity status for that. I did some charity work in Kenya and had about 30 kids in the Nairobi slums chasing me asking "how are you, how are you?" India was funny, just a holiday visiting a waterfall, as we left a load of school kids were making their way down the hill in single file and we had to high five about 80 of them as we passed, felt like the Fonz.

Although I am sure the attention is annoying, I'm sure 99.999% of the public reaction when they see a top player is praise. Then, the places they will go out will be top end places used to celebs so they probably don't get harassed too much.
I'm sure they must enjoy it when they do a charity day or go to schools and get mobbed by kids who look up to them as some kind of God.
I think if a player is sensible and doesn't seek attention, ie Kane/Bale etc they must live a fantastic life.

The only reason Kane stays out the limelight is that he's so ugly he terrifies the kids

Yes but his feet are very beautiful- esp when he wears his golden boots!
£20m and no fame please. I dont want the stress of paparazzi/media. I think they are a bunch of
I think I would rather feel like I have some what earned the money and achieved something. Most lottery winners end up broke or miserable, in fact I think some girl recently is trying to sue the the lottery bosses for "ruining your life".
I'm pretty sure studies have shown evidence that people at a certain threshold don't get happier with more money.
I would rather earn something like £50k a year, being satisfied with my work than be a multimillionaire with too much much time on their hands. So I think I would chose the life as a footballer. The fame isn't so great, but being payed for something you love is something you can't get if you are just a lottery winner.
I get wanting to earn your own money, it does feel so much more satisfying using it but if I thought £50k was my earning cap I'd take the winnings!
I'd love to be famous and recpgnisable in public.
Kids acting for selfies, girls' panties dropping etc.

I would just grow a beard, they would never recognize me.
it depends on your situation upon winning 20m!
you can sit there saying in your current situation 20m is quality.
simple fact is you have no idea what it feels like to win a life changing amount of money and that in it's self brings an amount of stress you couldn't imagine.
I have a little insight into what it would feel like to be honest, living in the midwest with a british accent and being stopped on a daily basis in stores, on jobs, at drive through's etc and i found it very tiresome in the end.
having first hand experience of winning the lottery, i'll tell you that you couldn't imagine what it's like. the public scrutiny is unimaginable.
