What would you do if you won Euromillions?

You mean you've already bought them or you would buy them if you won?

What is waky waky?

Get my roots done and have a lie in.
It must be incredible to wake up knowing you have the time and money to spend the day doing whatever you want wherever you want.

As well as building my own house and paying off my mortgage, I'd open a not for profit bookshop and coffee shop. I'd also make sure nurseries and schools had enough books and ensure every child had access to books.

Ahhhh the dream every time I enter!

I would give a reasonable amount to family and friends.

Set up trust for DC, not a ridiculous amount but enough to buy first house etc.

Buy or build a dream house in my current town or just on outskirts. Nothing too big but all the things I’ve always wanted, library, walk in wardrobe, lovely outside entertaining space!

CLEANER & GARDENER!!

I would buy a flat in London & Barcelona.

Quit my job.

I would donate to charities close to my heart and both in my local town and abroad.

Even though not for everyone, I would send DC to private school.

Lots and lots of holidays!

Something I'd love to do is I'd buy my siblings out of our family home and submit a load of planning applications to add extensions to it and do work etc. (would annoy the old neighbours but they have been absolutely horrid over recent years when they were getting their own work done to their properties so it would be no skin off my nose, especially considering I wouldn't have to live there while the work was being done).
I'd buy a new home for me and my family as I'm not happy with the location of the one I'm currently in and I know there are nicer ones out there with nicer neighbours.

I'd make sure that my kids, nieces and nephews were set up for whatever they wanted.

I'd finally get the car of my dreams.

If it was a really big Euromillions jackpot (say over €80-90m) I'd donate to charity.

Lastly, I'd give up work and follow F1 around the globe and get a lifelong membership to the Paddock Club!

I’d buy a catamaran and go sailing. Before which I’d hire a superyacht for a month and take my friends on holiday for a week at a time.

Pay for medical care for two family members who are very unwell and struggling to access care on the NHS.

Donate millions to my children's state schools.

Donate a million to a local charity that cooks wonderful meals for homeless and impoverished members of my community.

Donate to a local charity that provides support for asylum seekers and refugees who are pregnant or are new mothers.

Secure housing for my children.

Buy a not massive house that was in good order.

Pay off the mortgages and student debt of everyone in my extended family.

Have at least 4 rescue dogs.

Go and do a frivolous degree like Art History.

Buy a larger house close to where we live now, (retired and no mortgage) and employ cleaners and gardeners. A large pantry for storing jams, chutneys and lots of freezer space for veg, taken from a large veg plot.A heated pool would also be good, with pool maintenance done by someone else. A room just for crafts, and an orchard.

Buy and convert a unimog and go climb wherever, whenever

Keep my job, because I enjoy it and need routine/purpose, but go part time.

Probably buy a house in the village we live in, with room for a swimming pool. Hire a gardener to deal with the large and private garden.

Go on some nice holidays.

Give my parents, siblings, aunts/uncles and cousins money. Give lots to charity.

I would move to America to live, nice big ranch house, lots of amazing holidays, live an amazing life basically.

A bungalow in my city with an indoor swimming pool that has a glass retractable roof so you could pull it back and convert it into an outdoor one for the summer while still having privacy. I'd also put in one of those giant blowers you see in theme parks to dry you off after you get off a water ride - I can't stand the feeling of towels touching me when I'm wet (sensory issues) so I'd love to be able to avoid that after swimming and showers.

Hire a cook and a housecleaner and a driver. I'm disabled with very limited mobility and struggle with housework and getting out and about so this would give me a ton of freedom I don't currently have.

I'd also pay for IVF. My late OH and I really wanted kids but he died before we got the chance and I don't think I have enough time left to find someone else and have kids naturally.

Buy my children and my family a house, and my lovely friend who struggled so much. I'd bloody love to give her enough that she would be mortgage free.

And based on another thread I'd book a first class flight somewhere just for the experience

I have no idea how ordinary mortals can afford that

I've realised my list was tiny compared to everyone else's response!

How much exactly have I won?!

Buy a manageable house set on a large plot so I never heard any neighbours.

Refurbish and renovate the house to a high standard with future proofing so I never have to move. Spending money on a lift, a good annex/suite for live in carers or house sitters, then really lovely sofas, comfy beds an amazing kitchen, cinema room, hobby room, workshop, garden rooms and storage etc.

Invest enough to give me a sensible income to live very comfortably and travel for as long as I could.

Buy a small holiday cottage somewhere I really like.

To give me something worthwhile to do, I would set up a philanthropic fund to help those in need and spend time and thought running that and getting involved in community matters and good causes. Everything from youth support, helping families in need with things like education or care assistance, animal shelters etc. A sort of quiet general benefactor.

Pay off the mortgage and keep the house for my daughter to have when she turns 18
Get landscapers in to re do the front garden as have no clue what to do with it.
Try and buy one my 2 favourite houses in the village, if they were prepared to sell for a price.
Buy husband a new car
Pay off best friends mortgage and pay for the extension they want.
Help out other friends who i know would need it.
Buy mum and stepdad a holiday cottage in an area of their choice, same for husbands parents and brother. Plus send in laws on their dream holiday (my parents won't fly so couldn't offer them that)
Buy brother a holiday cottage in an area of his choice, or a caravan/motorhome and pay the in insurance.
Do an intensive driving course to try and learn to drive
Offer my dad something like a new super deluxe caravan/motorhome but i doubt he'd want it, likewise a car.
Go to local animal shelters and find out what they need and buy it.
Go to the children's ward/local women's shelters etc and find out what they need/want and buy it.
Do very large grocery shops for the local foodbanks.
Lots of holidays all flying first class where available.

Probably more but that's the start :-) just need to play now.

Retire immediately! Volunteer with animals, possibly set up my own charity, improve my baking, learn to play the piano, travel for as long as I'm fit and healthy enough. Buy a nicer house in the UK with some land, and a holiday home somewhere warm.

Financially (depending on the amount I won and somehow working round the anonymity point), I'd want to help out some really random people (our dogsitter, one of my colleagues, a young girl I used to work with who is a single mum and realistically is unlikely to ever own her own home), and donate to some local charities close to my heart. I'd return some money a family member recently gave me as a gift, it's not a huge amount but I still feel indebted.

I am undecided as to whether I would tell wider family as I think it would set expectations and cause issues, DH feels the same. We are both fairly distant from ours, and unless we bought a mansion, could explain away a bigger house, nicer car, more holidays etc with an imaginary payrise / promotion / smaller windfall of some kind. Obviously it's important to have all of this buttoned down because I'm definitely going to win :D

The way I see it...

£1-10 million - Make your own life better, make sure you (and family) never have to work
£10-100 million - It'd be good to build something of some permanence and consequence, preferably to make others' lives better where possible
£100 million+ - You now have the ability change the world for the better in some way, and a responsibility to do so. If you can't, you have the resources to find someone who can.

Buy a small castle, this one looks good

https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbedrseds100218

Hire a butler, housekeeper, gardener, cook, etc

Ensure friends and family are sorted financially

Relax and indulge in whatever I fancy.

I'd take my kid to America to see Taylor Swift.
And then ... err... don't know?
Have nice problems I suppose. 🙂

You'd have £100+ million, why would you want to avoid paying tax? Is £60+ million not enough for you?

Oh and charity obviously ... it's not all about me 😁

Buy both my DDs a lovely house each. I'd also buy a house for my brother. Then I'd buy a holiday home in Kefalonia.

I'd also go travelling around the world, flying first class and staying in beautiful hotels with amazing food and wine.

I do think having too much money could become a burden though bizarrely. Imagine going out for drinks/food with friends ... if you offer to pay you're being flash, if you make everyone split the bill you're tight. Tricky.

I won't because I don't play but I still imagine often.
I'd not tell anyone (not even dc).
I'd find a way around giving them money (maybe they could have been left a trust fund via carers association as they're young carers for me). It would be enough to buy a house and car outright and a regular monthly salary (not enough to make them not work but enough to help them not worry) plus have a buffer savings.
I'd book us some holidays/experiences paying for someone to come and assist me so dc can relax.
I'd buy myself a small bungalow (there's two in the village that would be ideal). Employ a cleaner and gardener plus someone who I can ask to do odd jobs when I'm not well enough so dc don't need to do it.
I'd look at giving to individuals rather than a large charity to help young carers and their families but without affecting their benefits such as maybe free housing that is adapted. Support for the dc to get educated (which is harder for youn carers), free cleaners/gardeners so that there's less responsibility on yhe young carers and they can put more time into extra curricular and education. I'd look at giving young carers experiences that their friends take for granted (days out, holidays).
I'd not give to family (except dns who I'd set some trust fund up for) because they don't deserve it, they left me when I became disabled because I was no longer available for their needs (childcare etc) and stood by allowing my dc to pick up the pieces. Dns don't deserve to loose out though (not sure how I'd prevent siblings not getting hold of any money but I'd do my best).
How do you keep this a secret without just sitting on the money and not enjoying it?
