What would you do if you won Euromillions?

Awww bless ya if I win I will find you and buy you a house 💓

would just buy a house and breathe a sigh of relief

Buy a house.

Buy our children. A house each (and give them a couple of millions each)

Give our 4 siblings some money likely a million each

Make sure both my dads are sorted and OK (in truth that will mean very different things for them one likely carers and cleaners, the other big holiday with his girlfriend)
Pay for my friends dd to go see the best private doc we can find to work out her long covid issue and how to get through that and then pay for her to return to uni.

Pay for my youngest 2 cousins to take their partners and children to disney world (their kids are the perfect age)

Retire

Get another dawg...

I think they'd figure it out when you put a heliport on your roof

I wouldn't tell a soul!

Thanks for the reminder!

First and foremost, I would retire.
I would give all our children £1m each
I would set up trust funds of £1m for each of our grandchildren.
I would look for my dream holiday cottage. A small stone 2 bed fisherman's cottage right on the beach.
I would buy next door and have a small indoor swimming pool extension built, and join the two houses and gardens together
I would have our dream holiday, of a river cruise
I would book a short break or some kind for every month, with a really nice Christmas break as well (unless my children actually pull their fingers out and we get an invitation to spend Christmas with one of them)
I would set up a charity to provide an educational fund to help single women with children to to university.
I would set up an account with a taxi firm
I would buy a new electric car, or maybe two
I would get fresh flowers delivered every week
I would get magazines and books delivered monthly

That's about it. As you can probably tell, I haven't thought about it at all!

Firstly I'd quit my job. Then I'd buy property in new York, greece, florida and the home i live in now. I'd give large chunks of money to family and friends, also to charity. I'd buy a new car. Hire a team of staff as a nanny, tutor, cleaner, cook, pool boy etc then I'd travel between my properties for five to ten years then I'd sell them and buy 3 different ones in different countries and repeat.

1. Buy a bigger house
2. Go on a massive family holiday
3. Hire a PT, a coach and nutritionist
4. Upgrade the rats cage and make it twice as big
5. Make sure I had a big chunk set aside for the kids future
6. Give some money to friends and family
7. Cut my hours/quit work
8. Hire a cleaner
9. Buy a new car

In an ideal world my husband could cut his hours/quit work too and between us we could alternate school drop offs and pick ups, have leisurely lunches and just enjoy not rushing around. We could have decent holidays yearly as well as the obligatory Butlins if the kids are still insistent on going.

It's very much a fantasy I wish I was living but I do wonder what would happen if I was living it. Would we be any happier or would we feel worse? Our problems now could be fixed by money but once you fix them will you be met with a sense of dissatisfaction because something that can't be fixed with money will take their place?

I would use every penny in helping to stop Greyhound racing.

My youngest ds has many disabilities and will never be able to live alone so...

I'd set up a supported living accomodation for people like him with everything they need, it would be a community possibly even like a small town with a shop, pub, gym, small cinema etc. Good transport facilities so they can go out and appropriate we'll trained staff. I'd put it all in trust for him so the la/LA's pay for the placements and upkeep etc. Not would be overseen and monitored to reduce possibility of abuse or mistreatment.

I'd set up a trust for my other son too.

If there was any left I'd redecorate the house and go on a very nice holiday.

I’d retire (I’m 56 so not particularly early) and concentrate on my health and fitness. Buy a bigger house, but not necessarily our forever house as ds’s still need to get to college relatively easily. Buy a crash pad by the sea. Buy a crash pad overseas (France or Spain (or maybe both))

make sure my children were financially secure for life.

Love this game.

I’d do a shitload of internet shopping and already have a mental list of websites that will be the first I visit when I win.

Refurbish the house, landscape the garden, then consider moving somewhere else. I’d buy homes for the closest family then invite all my friends and family on holiday and would give them all spending money. There would be a lot of holidays.

I’d buy my school everything it wants and set up some kind of charity organisation that would provide extra qualified staff to help schools meet children’s needs.

All the usual stuff, gifts to my family etc and two major indulgences:

A flat in York that I will pretend is for everyone's benefit. It will actually just be for me.

A man called Jim to drive me wherever I like in a skilled and courteous manner. Beige car coat, driving gloves, that kind of thing.

Oh yeah and give money to Monkey World 😊

First and foremost, buy myself a lovely house. Then buy 2 cats to keep me company. Hire a cleaner as well. I don't want much, just my own lovely house.

I'd buy absolutely everything any of my friends & family wanted.

I would move to Slovenia or Norway.

I would run some kind of competition to find 100 couples who require IVF treatment and I would fund their treatment & all that comes with it until it either A worked or B they chose not to continue.

I would buy 9 million miniature schnauzers.

I think I'd like to set up a business which could help autistic adults with their lives; help them find work etc etc.

Fun stuff? Buy a few houses around the world and become a member of various clubs and organisations. BA Gold Card, boxes at various theatrical places etc.

I'd need advice as to how to give money to friends and family etc. I wouldn't want them (my dc) to feel I wasn't helping them out but also wouldn't want them to have meaningless lives with money not being a motivation or being earned etc. Help my elderly parents have the best life as is left to them.

I wouldn’t even move house! I’d help out some family, ring fence a bit for the kids - but not too much, I know some very wealthy people and their children are ruined- and then I’d set up a charity giving university scholarships to WC kids and donating to local small charities. The kind where £500/£1k can really make a difference.

Share with my family, then probably live life pretty similar to what I do now, except never ever flying economy again. I can’t think of anything I want but the security of never worrying about money would be a big bonus for me. Probably go to the theatre a lot.

Give money to family
Pay mortgage off and rent out
Put money into trusts for kids
Buy afew houses/flat, do up and rent out
Buy a lovely big bungalow
A lush holiday
Hire a stylist
Get a cleaner

Sad as it is, I have two plans...

If I won a smaller amount (like the £1million raffle)...

• I would buy a detached house somewhere near to where I live now (though preferably a little further out and towards the hills) - it would have to have a minimum of 3 bedrooms, a driveway for 2 cars and a decent garden. Approx £350k
• I would buy my parents a house by the seaside, which is their retirement dream. Approx £250k
• I would put a good chunk of money in a trust for my son, for his future, and gift some to my brother and to my stepson to help them out.
• I would make a decent donation to my son's school (state school, limited resources) to fix some of the issues that only money can help.
• I would pay off our existing debts.
• I would pay for an amazing holiday to my husband's homeland, which is financially out of reach for us at the moment. The latter holiday would be a minimum of £5k but could be 'one in a lifetime' at closer to £10k.
• I would seek out some private medical assistance as I've been on the NHS waiting lists for 3 years with one ongoing chronic pain issue and I've been bumped back and forth for 10 years with another issue - it would be amazing to finally get help.
• Other than that, life would continue as normal. I would continue to work and I would expect my husband to do the same.

If we won a stupid amount, like the jackpot tonight, all bets are off! Homeschooling my child whilst travelling around the world would definitely be my first priority, as well as ensuring I was able to gift the money I outlined above to those close to us. It could cause heated conversations though as I know my husband would fully relocate abroad and I'm not sure I'd want to... Still, a problem I'm sure I could cope with having! Fingers crossed.

When I win I know exactly what I'll do:

1. I know the exact house I am going to buy overlooking the sea in my city
2. Secure my kids' futures (but not give them so much it makes them lazy or apathetic about working)
3. Give huge amounts to all my friends and family
4. Set up a charity organisation in a cause that touches my heart
5. I'm buying a Bugati
6. I will wear only Versace
7. I will retire from work early (very early) and spend my life travelling all over the world and seeing places I've always wanted to go

Not much family so I'd give to charity and maybe start a credit union, let people borrow without paying much interest.

Secure housing and education for my family & friends

Buy my friend a super whizzy electric wheelchair

Set up a social enterprise business & sheltered independent living flats for young people with SEND

Travel more

Persuade dh to reduce his hours & take up more hobbies

Donate to smaller charities as the large ones get too much money

I would quit my horrible job!

Tell no one.

Buy a nice modern house that required no work.

Hire a cleaner.

Take my parents on a lovely cruise.

Rent a mega motor yatch for a week and take all my friends on a holiday. Which to be fair would be difficult to explain given I will not tell them I won.

Give @Prawncow sufficient money for the squirrel suit dream. That would is just good sense.
