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 .

I’d buy a property for each of my nieces and nephews, I’d set up a charitable foundation rather than giving randomly to charities and I would only fly first class out of Europe. Other than that nothing, I’ve got everything I need or want

Hm, secret from family but would set them all up for life, renovate house and garden, set up trust funds for children, have third child sooner and get a people carrier for said children with custom paint job.

Wouldn't quit job though. I'd go into work and rub it into horrible person's face day in and day out. If they can be petty and nasty_, I can outdo them!

I'ld pay the mortgage of all my close friends and family.
I'ld buy a really snazzy campervan, take my son out of school and homeschool him (with the help of tutors)

I'ld set up an ethical investment fund and use the profits to donate to charities that help street children.

I would go to the osteopath every week and a mass l'ld hire a cook and a cleaner. I would get another dog. I would buy a bigger house probably in the same slightly rubbish area as I love my friends and community.

I would take the kids across Europe on a train for 6 weeks hols.

I'd set up something so my DC have a monthly income and put some aside for DGD. I would stop working (I really like my job, but I do struggle a bit with my health). I would be able to go to Florida whenever I felt like it. I would give some to charity, too and make sure my friends were all right.

To be honest, I would give the majority away.

Buy the kids a property each. Buy a flat at the seaside. Give up one of my part time jobs. Buy some lovely new clothes. Take my mum to Italy.

Sort the horrible current debts out, buy a house and build a life for DD, along with helping family and friends out as much as possible- more money, the less stress for a lot of people I know!

Watch DH do a merry dance at being able to give up his job, drop some anonymous envelopes of cash through lots of people's doors, buy a camper van and bugger off on a road trip around Europe.

I've heard a lot of lottery winners end up bankrupt because the tear through the money without thinking about how to manage it. So I would listen very carefully to what the nice financial advisor from Camelot tells me to do.
I think I'd want a chunk in investments to bring in a passive income.
Work out how much of that income is for me and how much for charity and extravagant acts of largess (I'm guessing friends and relatives would be expecting some of that)
Then think about big purchases with what's left. A bit more space and a garden would be nice. DH would love a "Good Life" style small holding.
I would like to try out some expensive hobbys like scuba diving, horse riding, sailing etc.
DS has Aspergers and struggles with school. It would be nice to know I could buy in some different educational options if problems persist.

I would literally have a budgeting spreadsheet with "extravagant acts of largess" as an entry.

Travel, buy my dream house, buy new sports equipment, spend more time at the gym and less on trains, pay off all my family’s credit cards and mortgages and ensure they were sorted.

Always said I’d keep working but after today it would be somewhere else!!! I’d set up my own business most likely.

I love to play this game -mainly when I cant sleep. I 'spend' varying amounts in creative ways which I never finalise because Ive drifted happily off to sleep.
But I would definitely give good amounts to the adults and put good amounts in trust funds for kids for when they reach 25. With such a huge amount of winnings it would be a million and half million amounts probably.
I fantasise about how I would give the money out. I most likely wouldn't change anything for some time while I put plans in place so that a family party or holiday happened naturally and once everyone was assembled I would maybe create a game or activity that everyone could take part - and everyone would be a winner !
Or stick envelopes containing cheques under everyones seats and engineer a reason for them to look for them.

I would definitely travel to some nice places first class all the way for at least one trip. Then I would revert to normal practice of looking for good value.Im not a spendthrift

It’d probably give me the biggest thrill by just helping people. I know a lot of people that could really do with some financial help right now, and to know it had made their lives easier would be amazing. For myself I’d just like to not be scared of bills. Oh and dogs, I’d like lots of dogs.

I'd want to keep it a secret obviously I'd say I won enough to give up work etc but I don't think I'd want to tell people how much . Dh disagrees he'd say people would know.
Im not sure I'd want to win that sort of sum , obviously it's big money so the press will want to know who it is so even if you don't do a press conference it wouldn't be long before it's leaked .

Ooh, it could be me -if I'd bought a ticket -
I'd pay off my mortgage and dsis and dsil's too.
Go on holiday
Quit my job and dh quit his job
Go on another holiday
Have a look for a new much bigger house in a nicer location
Have a look at private schools for dc near the new house
Treat my family to an amazing holiday
Treat my friends to an amazing holiday
Have a think about what I want to do with my life. Set up a business or charity?
Set up trust funds or something for my dcs and nieces and nephew.
Go on another holiday.

Help a few friends.
So very little to show it for three years as exh and his gf would be after a share like hyenas. Once DS was 18 I would buy houses and travel. First class.

There's some woodland near our house that's under threat from developers, I'd buy that - probably about £10m in one go there.

Buy a bigger house, and ones for adult dc's - a decent car each, visit family in the States, pack up work (obvs), have a cleaner/housekeeper and an odd-job person permanently on-call, go to the theatre a lot more often.

Give decent chunks to a lot of smaller charities, they need all the help they can get.

With what's left over, I'd probably buy up houses round here with big gardens to stop property developers getting their hands on them.

My Dad would get a few millions. Trusts funds set up for my DC and DN. would buy a very nice large house with a few acres of land and hire a full time housekeeper. Would invest some for future generations and use some to set up a charitable investment funds (using the proceeds of the investment of the capital sum) for worthy causes. Might also buy some new clothes.

I would give away most of it away, to relations, but not too much, my two best friends so they can buy a house, and animal charities. Beefing up armed protection for elephants etc.

Well I'm going on holiday two weeks tomorrow anyway so id likely speak to a financial planner to see how much I need to live on and how much I could give away/donate and start house hunting.

We already have a business so id look to see how we could grow it with the funds needed.

Buy a house, employ a cleaner/housekeeper/driver.
Buy new cars.
Put money in trust for my DCs
Make sure there's enough money for my DC who is unlikely to be able to live independently to stay living in their own home with a carer/1:1. Pay for private speech therapy and other therapies that will help.
Give some to family and friends, I'd imagine I'd have a lot of 'friends' if I won all that money!

We'd all go on a lovely holiday and I'd pay for a Sen teacher or similar to come too to look after DC so DH and I could actually have a meal and drink together.
Give some away to charities.
Spend some on frivolous stuff.

Resign.
Tell dh to resign.
Book a fabulous holiday.
Buy a bigger house - but still in our village (I have already chosen which one )
Buy a holiday home in Wales.
Buy houses for our dc and employ an agent to rent them out until dc were old enough to live in them or sell them, and set up trust funds for them.
Help family & friends out.
Set up a hedgehog rescue centre.

It's too much really though. I could do all of the above with £5m. Maybe £10m, just for a bit of contingency. The rest could go to charity.

Give gifts to family. Set up trust fund for kids. Buy massive house. Go car shopping. Book amazing holiday.
Then I'd get a breast reduction! I'd have cleaners and stuff and spend loads on food. I don't work so no job to Jack in but is free up time by doing less domestic stuff I'd fill that time with a personal trainer and massage every day!

God it makes me sick one person winning all that money 🤢
So jealous

Ooooh!!!!

I’d pay off a few mortgage’s, put a few thousands into ISA’s for my friends children. Get DD professional help for her asd. Send my parents on a worldwide trip to see everything. I’d probably donate a massive chunk to my local kids hospital too
