Just thought I'd scratch off a £2 card to get a pound for the trolley (no cash back anymore ???), and I've won £5. The doors have opened up for me now. Brainstorming what to spend it on!😆

Was actually thinking about getting one of those haha. Someone at Tesco gave me one for free and I lost it so never bothered. I have terrible memory and always lose everything!

Next time you're at an arcade take out £20 in pound coins and put them all in the car. I've still got a few left after about 6 months (the rest have gradually disappeared into the house in my pocket or when things like school discos need change!)

I know it’s tempting to start spending but honestly, the best thing you can do is take financial advice, let the dust settle and then invest wisely. Don’t be tempted to make any rash investments.

I would head for a filthy Greggs. It's what memories are made of.
YOLO.

Don't listen to amateurs on MN.
You need a qualified and regulated IFA.

A chicken, then you've fed the family for at least a week.

Picoloangel · 29/10/2025 18:58

Tell no one and don’t let it change you OP. Remember where you came from.

GoodQueenBess · 29/10/2025 18:58

Don't tell anyone IRL or they'll be expecting you to share your fortune.

what's that supposed to mean? That houses in Manchester cost peanuts? ..

Oh dear OP

Please get this thread deleted or at least ask MNHQ to disable your private messages, before the begging comes in thick and fast!

Have you any idea how unsafe you've made yourself and your family?

Even your cat will have to stay indoors now.

Asking for a friend.

InNewYorkNoShoes · 29/10/2025 19:15

Buy crisps.

TheChosenTwo · 29/10/2025 19:15

Are you going to go public?
Whatever happens, don’t let it change you, stay true to your roots.
And lend us a quid will you?! 😂

Don’t do what I did and use the same £1 coin for so long all the edges get worn off and it doesn’t go in the trolley anymore.

Not at all - the house that was posted here is on National news sites today - its decor is so ... well, I don't actually know what word to use ...

I actually feel sorry for the owners, the decor was absolutely ripped apart which is very cruel

Coffeetime25 · 29/10/2025 19:31

find the nearest bar with a decent happy hour buy a book and celebrate with a pint and a good book

Changeforsquizzers · 29/10/2025 19:32

Don’t you know there is a COL crisis at the moment and you’re on here flaunting your wealth. So selfish.
Honestly OP, read the room

nicepotoftea · 29/10/2025 19:39

Are you going to go public properly? Will you be seeking advice?

BigCupofChocolate · 29/10/2025 20:02

TardisDweller · 29/10/2025 17:16

What are you going to spend your winnings on? Don't forget where you come from!

A Mumsnet chicken and a Freddo.
