[justeatasalad]

The jackpot has been won by someone in the uk ( not me unfortunately) what would you do with that sort of money ?
£123,458008.00

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 .

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

Give most of it away. Tons of it to animal charities, saving rhinos, orangutan sanctuary, buy most of the Amazon rainforest and stop those bastards destroying it. You could do a lot of good with that amount of money...

No I don't think so @gamerchick get checking

Not me sadly. Still it's nice to dream

Give up work but give them a big donation.

Set up friends and family mortgage free or help buy a house.

Buy property^ in my local London area and rent out at actual affordable rents and secure tenancies giving priority to refugees and homeless.

Donate to charities and left wing political groups.

Buy a biggish house and biggish garden. Employ a gardner.

Go on a grand tour.

Employ a personal trainer and a cook/housekeeper. Weekly massages. Hair removal. Some minor beauty treatments.

^maybe a full price flat or two in any blocks with poor doors

Will we still be able to play euromillions after Brexit?

Buy my mum, dad, brother each a nice house. Give my best friend some money. Quit my job and volunteer in a charity shop. Go on a round the world holiday. On my return buy myself a nice new house.

It’d be fun wouldn’t it after all the personal stuff to bolster parts of society you cared about (health, art, children whatever)

I like to think that I would give virtually all of it away. I truly believe that huge sums of money make people happy in the long run. In practice, I'm not sure that I'd have the willpower. It is one of the reasons that I don't play the lottery though!

Huge sums of money dont make people happy in the long run

at a crappy 1.5% interest pa that equates to over £5,000 a day..

Pay off mortgage. Put money into pensions just in case it all goes wrong. Give money to parents/siblings. Give money to local charities. Quit work. Book a long holiday (4-6 weeks).
Get professionals in to do the decorating!
Buy some houses and do them up, then rent out at low cost

Move abroad with my children.

Make at least 50 of my friends and family millionaires!

Buy a beautiful home and new car (nothing flashy) go on a few nice holidays. Give up my job and get involved in a charity / volunteering to keep me busy.

Find my dream house which probably wouldnt be anything to fancy, just something out in the country. Give my family some. Book a holiday for everyone. Buy mil the best prosthetic limbs or mechanical limbs money could buy. That would all be done the first day.
I would obviously give up my job. I would do charity work and probably have at least one more child, any take a few holidays to places that I can oy dream of irl.
Ah nice to dream.

Aside from all the personal stuff for me
I would love to buy a couple of big houses in towns and cities across the country and donate them and running costs to women’s aid.
I would go something similar in university towns for students who are up shit creek financially but want to study.

Infact I would probably foster or adopt.

I would also set up a trust fund of some kind for schools and playgroups to be able to apply for grants of up to £5,000 a year for anything they wanted as long as the children benefitted.

Put a lump sum into some sort of endowment for DD's primary school. She leaves in July and they've been fabulous. I want them to continue with the extras that make them fabulous.

Chuck some anonymous payments to various charities I've worked at in the past. Repair the church roof.

Pay for various experts to give me private guided tours around all the interesting places in Britain - David Attenborough round Natural history museum, Mary Beard to show me round various palaces, John Barrowman to spend a month with me seeing all the west end shows, etc.

Holidays, long term investments, pay off mortgage, buy a holiday home (or two). Gift lump sums to various relatives. Tuck a good chunk away for DD's future. Fly SB home for 6 months (lives overseas).

Personal trainer, manicurist on speed dial. Weekly Gousto deliveries.

I would withdraw £5k in cash to throw over the bed and roll around in. And then buy a gorgeous house. Book a BIG holiday, possibly all the way up until September when DD needs to be in school. Drink lots of nice drinks and donate to random crowdfunding things.
I suppose I would give some to family and charity as well...

I'd buy a six bed house with land (cash, no mortgage) so I could have my own office, our three DC's could have their own room and have space + a guest room. DH would build a workshop outside. Around here it would cost no more than 2 million. I'd renovate it entirely to our tastes and hire a cleaner and a gardener to make life easier.

I'd book a big family holiday to Florida. Do all the Orlando resorts and the space station. I'd buy glittery Minnie Mouse ears (for myself) and not feel an ounce of guilt over the price.

There's loads of things I'd do with the remaining money from paying off debts, buying my mum a house so she doesn't have to rent anymore, putting money in an account for the DC's for when they're older to buy a home, go to uni, start a business, go travelling etc. That's all relatively boring stuff that I think we'd all do.

I'd also love to start my own company so I'd put money into that.

Ugh - I wish!!

buy houses in Ireland / Greek Islands / home counties and a London penthouse
have staff in all of them
never cook another meal, iron another thing or clean another toilet ever again
travel the world
give a million quid to everyone I love
buy dh some ridiculous sports cars
have a celebration party and pay someone like Elton John to perform at it
I would set up various funds, one to pay for respite care and holidays for people with disabilities and their families, one to provide secure social housing and another one to help teens

I'd still have 20 million left after all that - it would be so brilliant

Well not sure really.

Pay off mortgage, but actually buy a new bespoke build my own house and live in current house until new house was ready.

New car etc

Holidays

Give ££ to family and friends

Have an outrageous hair cut and daily spa days

I did the lottery on Tuesday and gave myself a few minutes of “imagine if” before checking my ticket just now.

I got one number and that was it

Oh, and at least a million to our village school for sure.

I’d be gutted because I’m not divorced from STBXH yet (abusive wanker is making me wait 5 years as he won’t sign the papers, also he’s no fixed abode so can’t serve the wanker) and despite him never seeing DD or paying CMS, the fucker would find a way to get his hands on the winnings

If I were divorced, however, and as it’s a massive amount of money -

• Buy my Dad and Step Mum a house and pay all associated bills forever

• Buy my amazing step sister a house, pay for her to go back to college, pay all her bills and give her an allowance for that, and then the same for her go through University to be a nurse (she’s much younger than me and is bloody lovely). Would carry on paying her bills whilst she works too because the wage is shit and she deserves a nice life.

• My Grandparents are relatively well off but they’d be getting the best of everything as they age (mid 70s now)

• Several friends of mine, I’d buy houses for, pay any and all debts off, pay their council tax and utilities forever

• Set up a scholarship at my University for single parents (I’m currently a STEM undergrad)

• Set up a bursary to pay for childcare and other expenses for single parents doing Access courses at all the local colleges

• Money in trusts for current nephew and potential future nephews/nieces

• Money in trusts for DC

• I’d constantly do RAOK. Spend an hour on GoFundMe every day and see how much I can spend

• I’d stay at University. Do Graduate Entry Medicine. Do a PhD. Or two. Basically learn as much as I can.

Buy one of the big mansions down the road and fill it with dogs. pay off a friends student loan (she’s from India and they hassle her elderly mother if she’s a minute late with her payment) i’d also buy her mother an apartment. Pay another friends mortgage, she’s too ill to work but doesn’t qualify for pip, her husband works 6 days a week. It would remove a lot of stress. My family would want for nothing. I’d never work again unless it was something I wanted to do.
