The jackpot has been won by someone in the uk ( not me unfortunately) what would you do with that sort of money ?

My first instinct would be book the next flight somewhere really nice and warm . I'd love to treat my family & friends , give to charities.
I'd definitely get financial help that sort of money is scary .

Nice house, nice car, amazing holiday. Then make some investments and donate to some charities.

My closest friends wouldn't have to worry about money again, I'd donate a chunk to my work (national charity), build a house in the middle of nowhere, and take DP and the bairns on holiday.

Oh and buy a 1967 Shelby GT 500 in green with white go faster stripes

And a box at Celtic Park

Ooh, this is my favourite game!

Absolute first thing i’d do is backflip out of work giving the middle finger to everyone on the way out; while giving my colleagues enough money that they’d leave too and really leave the company in the shit

I’d buy a naice house, get a housekeeper/cleaner, marry DP, get pregnant immediately.

Would give away millions to family and friends.

Would set up some sort of charity foundation which could do some good in the most productive way, but i’d also have massive fun donating a shit load to the teeny tiny charities as well where my money could go a long way.

Long term, i’d go on lots of lovely holidays and employ a personal trainer to bully me into shape.

I’d buy all the latest gadgets, but I’ll never be the sort of person to spend thousands on a handbag. I think i’d get much more pleasure by giving the money away.

I would pay off my mortgage (I like where I live, so I wouldn’t move).

I would quit so I could go back to playing rugby. I would also tell my boss what I really think about her. But I would have to do some form of work as I really struggle without structure.

I would set up a trust fund for my sons other siblings to access when they leave care.

I would donate a significant sum to the hospital that looked after my son when he had Men C.

I would give my cousin enough so that work was optional. I would do the same for some close friends as well, if it was something they agreed to.

I’m not really into things so I probably wouldn’t buy things differently to how I do now.

Has the winner came forward yet? I'm mildly anxious I can't find my random ticket I bought Tuesday. I would rather not have to search the house

Carry on as I am but with money in the bank.
I don't earn atm, so would invest in my small business to help it grow a bit quicker. Sort out immediate family, so dc wouldn't have to work if they didn't want to.
Ring fence the same for any grandchildren.

Affore for dd to study anywhere she wanted and pay all her living costs.
I wuldn't buy stuff as not materialistic. Don't drive, but would mybe buy a Rolls and have a driver.

I'm not materialistic either I'd love to travel though , so many places I'd like to visit but I admit I'm a homebody I like my own bed so I'd travel then I'll be happy to come home . After a couple of years of travelling on and off I'd buy a big house with plenty of room for a couple of dogs and my family can have their own annex .

No I don't think so @gamerchick get checking

I’d go part time in the job I have now, then spend every weekend road tripping round the UK, sampling all the hotels that look fancy.

The very first thing I’d do would be to work out a way to get a fucking lot of money in to everyone I loved bank accounts without saying anything then I’d just sit back and watched what happened

Then I’d buy an amazing Victorian house with a walled garden and become a hermit in the summer and a globetrotter in the winter.

Pay off my mortgage , buy some new properties in Europe , set up trust funds for the kids and then take advice on how to use rest in some sort of charitable trusts

Wait, I’d get new double glazing first. Then pay of ours and all family’s mortgage. Then put £50k each away for all my nieces and nephews to have uni education.

I'd probably give about 80 million away I wouldn't want all that money I'd give my children 10 million each in bank accounts, half with my partner, mum and dad 500k each my 4 siblings 500k each, buy a nice home somewhere and then a car and an on call therapist to help with my anxiety.

@magmatic80, you'd still have £123 million or so left!

Lots to charity, pay money into friends /families accounts as a surprise. Travel, Travel, Travel. Me and dh can stop doing shift work around each other so we can see each other. Dh has been doing shift for years and done in. Shop for my food in M and S. Pay morgage off!

I don't have any dear enough friends I'd want to even help which sucks but one friend I would probably give her 2 million and there's a few people I like around where I'd live and id give them money it would honestly make me feel scared having that much money I mean how do some people win it and then lose all that?

@hollowtalk I’m still thinking

I love this conversation. DP and I always say £500k would be enough.

I’d still want to work, but I think after I’ve sorted close friends and family out, and given more than half to charity, I’d still have enough to travel like I like to for the rest of my life. I would want to still come home, otherwise travel would get tedious. For me, the planning of trips is half the fun

anita

You'd have plenty friends with all that money though I bet you'd be surprised who came out of the woodwork

@RomanyQueen oh 100% can you imagine I'd have millions lol, I read somewhere before about a man who won the lottery and went public and he had a whole room in his house full of suitcases off begging letters

Wow that’s a lot. I’d pay off the mortgages of family and friends. Then I’d, hmmmm would I resign? Maybe. Id deffo tell DH to resign.

I’d buy a wee sweetie shop or a tea room and reading emporium. And get a dog.

That's way more money than I could spend. I would give loads away to family and friends and to charities I care about. I would put some into trust funds for my children, get myself a new car and use some for general spending money.

Give some to friends, perhaps worthy small charities. Buy a new house, perhaps a second one abroad. Have a car and driver, and having a cook would be great. Pay for the best health care money could buy (several issues to deal with), then travel in luxury.
