I’ve won Euromillions, how shall I spend it?

My winnings are the grand sun of £4.20. I don’t want to spend it all at once.

Advice please!

Another ticket?!?!

Willmafrockfit · 05/08/2023 09:02

cheap wine?

FearTheWankingDead · 05/08/2023 09:02

Me too!
I wish they would word the email they send differently. I thought I had won a lot and it was only £3.20.

Another ticket and a bar of chocolate!

Meal deal

Buy cake
Congratulations @Firesgoneout 😁

Invest it sensiblely and tell NO ONE. All the snakes will come out for a share now.

Posh cake

Im sorry to derail but @FearTheWankingDead is just the best username ever 🤣

@Firesgoneout I’d buy a suspended coffee or two if there’s a place near you that does that? Or buy something for your local food bank.

ASDA have drumstick sweets and LoveHearts for 25p a pack. I’d suggest a wise investment of another ticket, 8 packs of sweets and 20p saved for a rainy day.

Firesgoneout · 05/08/2023 09:18

Some great ideas here, thank you, although I’m not sure what suspended coffee is. Does it float in mid-air?

But today IS the rainy day! I want to spend that 20p and I want to spend it now (stamps foot).

Double chocolate muffin, put a £1 in a pocket somewhere for future joyous discovery, shower gel a cut above the usual cheap crap to make you feel nice.

Wine, men/women and song. Life's too short!

ShadowPuppets · 05/08/2023 09:21

Have you considered consulting an IFA?

SingingFaLaLa · 05/08/2023 09:22

Invest it.

That £4.20 could be £4.41 by this time next year!

It’s when you pay for a cup of coffee but don’t actually take it, so that if someone homeless comes in and asks if there are any coffees going, they’ll give your coffee to them.

I'd go on Vinted, search for clothes for £1.50 and under in your size and pick something fabulous!

IHeartGeneHunt · 05/08/2023 09:24

Pick n Mix!

DaisyThistle · 05/08/2023 09:28

#BeKind OP. Convert it into 420 pennies and hand them out fairly among your family and friends in need.

DappledThings · 05/08/2023 09:31

Property is a great investment. With that much as a deposit you could get a decent LTV on somewhere like this.

I like the idea of paying it forward. I’d always told myself that I would give 10% of my winnings to the shop staff at the store where I bought my ticket. So, if you work in Aldi and sold me a Lucky Dip yesterday then I’ll be super generous and round it up to 50p to split amongst your colleagues. 😇

Apparently if you actually win big the email is worded differently. Something along the lines of “contact us at this number” rather than the usual “you won a prize, log in to find out”. So you’re never going to just log into your account and see a six or seven figure sum waiting.
