You win the Euromillions tonight...

[areyoustillhere]

£57,000,000

You get the win confirmed and 100% assurance that the money will be in your bank next Friday (no idea how long it takes to be honest, but go with it).

How do you spend this next week, including Friday when the money hits? Ignoring the fact you have to go to Camelot or wherever for all that faff...

I'd buy a new house with a gym and a beauty salon and pay personal trainers and beauticians to come in every day and transform me into someone who looks like they can be arsed.

Book some private treatments, new car, holiday, find a house to buy. I'd move my grandparents into a luxury, gold-standard, want-for-nothing care home and make sure my parents are looked after. Then I'd set start giving away what I don't need to charities and good causes, including doing a lot for my local community anonymously.

I’d spend the next week in work sorting out any lingering admin and paperwork then hand in my notice the minute the money was confirmed in my back account.

Over the weekend I’d use savings to buy the things that are on our Lotto win wish lists for the immediate family - a Loewe puzzle bag and Chloé Marcie for me, a vintage guitar for my DH, an iPad or laptop for digital artwork for my DD & the biggest Lego set I could find for my DS -maybe millennium falcon and the Hogwarts castle.

I’d book us a luxury holiday for the first week of July as soon as my 2 get off school and book EuroDisney for 4 days over the Easter holidays. Then probably book a weekend in London to take in a couple of shows as well.

I’d spend every spare minute trawling our local property sites for a local house and one by the seaside so that I’d be ready to put an offer in by the time the money hit my account.

Not that I’ve fantasised about a win, or anything.

This is totally immoral, but I'd see if I could pay off our new boss in some way, before I resigned myself. He's completely destroyed morale in my organisation and everyone is so miserable and fearful. It would be a massive weight off peoples minds if he jacked it in.

Totally implausible, but one of the very best things I could do with my money!

Start making a list of how I might want to spend and gift it.

Book someone to redecorate the house/fit a new kitchen/tidy up the garden ready to sell (or rent).

Start house hunting - wouldn’t move far, just a couple of roads away.

Get an advert out for a housekeeper so I never have to meal plan, shop or cook every again!

I’d go to work as normal, but would do a huge amount of internet shopping on my credit card and would book an appointment with a travel agent for the following Saturday morning.

Me me! Will you give me a job!?!?

I dream of keeping bees!!!!

This is one I'd need to schedule for Friday morning, obviously

Tickets stop at 19.30

I'd buy a little fut-fut river boat . Just big enough for the two of us. Nothing fancy at all

Kids would be sorted as would siblings.

Charities would get the bulk of the money but they'd be small charities that barely get a mention.

I would spend the whole week filling up my online shopping baskets ready for Friday.

Upon getting the money I would pay off everything I owe.
I've give my close friends and family a million pounds each.
I'd quit my job.

If ever came into a massive amount of money id want to create some sort of affordable housing business. I don't know the logistics, but being a single working mum who has come from literally rock bottom I know how hard and hopeless it feels. So id probably spend the rest on that! 🙈

Wouldn't it be amazing 😍

Yes, I'd do something along these lines too, same background.

Some sort of housing and support for single parents as they put themselves though college or uni, or start a business, etc.

But that's going to take me a little longer than the time I have left to spare on Friday

Not necessarily single parents either. Just decent people in my area who could do with a bit of faith and finance put their way

I'd buy this house: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/126533066#/?channel=RES_BUY
Give up work (it would save them making someone redundant as we're going through that at the moment)
And I'd dig out my "People I'll help when I win the lottery" spreadsheet and start sharing out the good luck !!

I would start viewing houses and make a list of the things I want to do. Coming up to the Easter break would also mean I would look at holidays mainly long haul on first class. Whilst on holiday, I will then decide who I should help etc and carefully plan my future and dc's. Oh I only wish

I don't even know what or where to find a private bank 😂

We have our eye on a hotel/,country house that's for sale near us. We'd buy that and I would move into the west wing 😄

So like Coutts were the Queen had her money, Camelot help with this apparently

I would just work my hours next week rather than the ridiculous hours I have been doing. I wouldn’t want to quit straight away because my colleagues would suffer, and there are a few I would want to give money to but equally I wouldn’t want to tell them until the money was in the bank.

I’d join a gym straight away and go after work since I’d be finishing on time.

No huge changes at home as it’s coming up to exams, but would start looking for a much nicer house to live in for after exam time. Actually, maybe we would move into a luxury rental nearer the school - I think the kids would like that.

Pack up my life. Then run for the hills.

I have to work 12 weeks notice. So I would resign on Monday and then plan a huge summer trip (DC still school age)
Buy DM a bungalow rather than her flat. Do some serious house porn for us.
Give all the family and a few friends a big wedge.
Then a charity and good cause splurge.
After that a pause to think.

I would ring every animal charity I know & tell them they’ll be sharing 99% of this money & then I would sit & think what I will spend the half mil left on - probably reduce my hours & get Karndean, a new car & a new front door & a holiday to wherever my DD wanted! Then life babk to normal.

Start house hunting somewhere coastal, remote and northern, preferably already done up and with furniture, paying cash to move asap. Hand notice in at work and negotiate my leave in return for notice not being worked. Pack car, grab cats and leave - pushing keys and phone through letter box! Tell absolutely no one.

I can dream…

Realistically, I would ask for a couple of days' annual leave to think about it. I'd stumble through our weekend activities as usual and then on Monday when everyone else is occupied, take a notebook to my local cafe to try to figure things out over a cup of tea. The nerves, excitement and worry about the practical and emotional implications would keep me awake all night for a few nights until I felt nauseous and incapable of making any sensible decisions. I'd Google a few horror stories about lottery winners and have a panic. Next Friday I'd probably pull myself together, but I'd have another weekend of kids' activities to get through before having any headspace to decide what to do.

The less realistic version without the panic involves me handing in my notice, setting up my own business and taking art classes.

Start house hunting in North Yorkshire, book a private TOP gynecologist, resign immediately and go straight down the offy to buy a shit load of prosecco, which will put me well on the path to being pissed as a newt!

Sounds very glamorous swanning into your private bank. I had a Google Scotland has 3 private banks to choose from.
