If you won the 15 million lotto jackpot tonight, what would you do with the money?

Buy a modest house in a suburban area, which would be quiet and near heaven compared to where I live now (mid floor flat in rough area near city centre). Pay off debts.

Have a decent sized garden which would mean I can fulfill my lifetime dream of having a dog. Would be a rescue greyhound, specifically a black one as they spend longer waiting to be adopted. Spoil them with steak and chicken breasts even though I don't eat meat myself. Get them a giant cuddlepillar toy as that should be a requirement.

Buy my Sister and her family their dream house and pay off any debts they have. So they would be mortgage free and debt free and their salaries would go a great deal further for living. Help any other family members out that need it, I only have a small family.

No holidays for myself as I have serious mental health problems and wouldn't cope flying all around the globe! But holidays for family as they love travelling. I would love to visit Japan but even with money I don't think would be possible for me.

A great sigh of relief that money problems are solved. Pay for various therapy to help my mental health problems.

I've always said I would go to Thailand or somewhere to posh fat camp. I'd get myself and my health sorted. DH to come as well. We would decide what to do. But we would sort DS with a home.
For our house I would employ a gardener and a designer to sort it out. Get another car so we could have one each.
Look after my friends and give to my favourite charities and then travel travel travel.

'Bows'

I know right! I hate to stereotyped but the boys would (mostly) end up in the arcade and the girls (mostly) in the tea shop and it would encourage cross over.

Its a big annoyance of mine that there are very few places you can have 'nice' food while also having something for the children. Its either fishfingers and soft play or gastropub and trying to keep the kids quiet.

Yes- also few places that appeal to teens, and yours would.

Go on holiday, forever.

First off,a fantastic holiday for myself and my DD and her family. Nowhere too hot as noon of us are hot weather lovers, probably in the Channel islands. Then I'd buy a house (currently living in a rented council flat). Not sure where, I'd have to do a bit of research. But definitely somewhere with a large garden as I'd be able to afford to pay someone to look after it. Living in a second floor flat,I really miss having a garden. I'd give my DD and her family enough money to be able to pay off any debts and be comfortably off,and get themselves a brand new top of the range car. And I'd pay for my DGD to get through university next year. It's nice to dream, isn't it?
