How would you tell your OH you won the lottery?

Off the back of the “what would you do if you won the lottery” thread. How would you tell your significant other?

Would you blurt it out immediately or would you plan something special (and what)?

In my head I’d have something elaborate planned but in reality could I keep it a secret to plan something?

My Mum and Dad won a large sum of money on the Pools in the early 80s. The letter came through the door and my Mum opened it, rang my Dad at work (on the house phone) and said "are you sitting down?" He asked why and she told him. He said "I am now"

It solved their immediate problems with affording the mortgage payments at 18% interest, bought us a new family car, an amazing holiday and an extension on the house. I was only really interested in the fact that I was taken to town and got £300 worth of new clothes.

Thats lovely - Where did you go for your clothes out of interest? I’d have been straight into topshop as a teen!

In my dream I'd ring DH's awful boss and tell her he's resigning with immediate effect. He's actually off sick at the moment with workplace stress because of her. Then I'd tell him to pack a case and his passport for a surprise trip. I'd tell him on the way to the airport.

In reality I'd probably just blurt it out as soon as I knew.
