Ah, lottery win dreams.

I’ve just had to have a stern word with myself after wasting an hour of my life debating which property I am going to buy when I win the lottery tonight.

Torn between out in the country side and in the city. Pouring over floor plans to see where dh could have a study and which one has the best layout for the children.

In my head, I’ve won 2.5 million (this is my wildest fantasy, but I’m being realistic, I don’t know why, ffs).

The house I might get in the nearish the city centre where ds works is 1 million. But no off road parking.

I’m sat here worrying about the parking situation of a house I will never own.

Please tell me I am not alone in doing this?

I was just saying to DH before that if I won the lottery I would buy a tiny crash pad in London (we live up north and I would never want to move but I love London for all the stuff that there is to do all the time, particularly West End theatre).

He argued with me about how daft it would be to do that and told me reasons why. I found it funny that he was arguing with me about how I'm spending my hypothetical, never gonna happen, lottery winnings.

Me too. Often look on rightmove and have no max value. I don't want 2 million though I want to be a greedy fuck and win like 150 million

I always used to worry when my kids were young that if I won majorly style that they’d be kidnapped. Youngest is 26 so don’t need to be bothered about that now 🤷‍♀️

I always figured that if you only (only!) won a couple of million you could probably keep it under the radar...but an enormous £100 million plus win would be much harder to keep quiet. The tabloids would probably be after you.
Having said that, I have dreamed of giving everybody I know a million pounds.
