Ok. Its a £10 million jackpot tonight. What would you do if you won?

[JacknDiane]

I'll start. I think my shoulders would finally go down. Id know my kids had a brilliant start in life. Although I would only give them a million each so they kept working hard and trying. Id want to give them the lot but I dont think this would be good for them.
Anyway, I'd help out my friends. I dont have family im close to, I wouldn't even tell them. We are estranged.
And we'd both travel. Everywhere. Staying in lovely hotels that aren't airbnb or travelodges. And meals out instead of chippies and a bench.
Id get a newer house and maybe a couple of flats in places I love.
Id donate loads to charity and id help as many people as I could.
And id have top level private health insurance and hopefully kick health anxiety out the door forever.

So what would you do?

(P.S. ....i don't have a ticket...oh well...)

Holidays.
Sort children out financially
Help family out financially
Help friends financially
Support charity
Do up house
Have a cleaner
Gardner
Cook
New car

Quit, get landscape gardeners in to do all the jobs I want done including a large greenhouse, and join a gym.

Leave my job. Have a modest holiday - just time away to think things through.

Then probably find a better home for me and my partner. A chunk to each of the kids to see them housed and debt free. A few sizeable donations to expedite projects I’m involved in, or care about.

Maybe £5mil left over to live off… I’d get advice re inheritance planning. And I’d like to use it to do some real good.

Move out of Bradford somewhere more rural
Save half 2.5 million for both of my children
Give them an amazing childhood (maybe have another)
Travel
Invest in their education
Set up some sort of charity to get people out of financial difficulties

I'd quit my current job immediately and seek a more fulfilling occupation. Buy a beautiful big house in the countryside with separate houses or annexes for my ageing parents to live if they want to in future. Sort out my siblings' mortgages and pensions and invest enough to generate income. A couple of cars and a good holiday.

If I won tonight it would be as part of a syndicate, we'd get about £450k each. Enough for some solar panels, a newish car, £200k in my pension and a £100k house deposit each for the kids.

If DH won, it would just be his ticket, in which case he'd retire, I'd do until the end of term, we'd set the teens up, no uni debt, house each eventually, driving lessons and a car each. DH would give me a slice of the pie, with that I'd help out a few friends teen kids and a friend who's husband left her recently.
After that I'd fill my days with charity stuff. DH would have a massive greenhouse and be in the garden permanently.

I'm feeling very philanthropic tonight in the hope the lottery goes smile favourably on me!

I’d become a secret philanthropist 🤞🏻

Move away from my knob head neighbours immediately. Beyond that, step back from work a bit to look after myself. I'm self employed and wouldn't give up my job but I do need a break.

Quit my job. Find somewhere to live. Take a holiday to contemplate the rest.
Book a personal trainer and maybe a chef to come and do meal prep. And start using a laundry service. Hmmm maybe I need to hire an assistant to sort all this out….

1 Draft my resignation from work
2 Buy absolutely everything that I've had my eye on but can't justify the cost
3 Give my sister some money
4 Start the search for my dream house

Give up work.

I'd buy the dream house, a new car and book a no expense spared holiday.
I'd put 1m in each of my children's savings, they are both very little so that will accrue some nice interest by the time they can access it.
I'd pay off my sisters and SIL's mortgages.
i would buy my mum a house then give her 1m so she can retire early then go live her life without worry, she bloody deserves it.
as for the rest I'd save it for now, could perhaps encourage DH to retire early although he loves his job so I doubt he would.
id be a lady of leisure for the rest of my days.

Even £500k would change my life beyond recognition. But if it was the full shebang:

• House for me and DC - we currently rent and it’s unlikely I’ll ever be on the property ladder.
• Brand new car.
• Paddleboards.
• Camper van.
• Create an educational bursary at my old uni to assist people who share a similar background.
• Holiday to Japan.
• Thereafter, I’d properly throw myself into the career I’d really like to do, rather than the one I’m doing just to pay the bills.
• Oh, and have my jowls lifted!

I would move house. Not far. Bigger garden. And give up my allotment.

If they split that down into smaller packages they could benefit so many people - nobody needs £10m.

Woth 500,000 we could pay off our mortgage, build an extension and do a couple of rounds of IVF.

Totally agree. £100k would be a fantastic boost to almost anyone. 100 X more people would benefit.

couple of mill in DS account. First thing is buy a car. Pay off mortgage for mediate (sp?) family and give some money to my two best friends. Go into central London for a seriously posh dinner. Move out of my rented shoe box and get a larger house but still local, near my mum and the school. Take DS to euro Disney immediately. Buy my brother a small house (he currently rents a room in someone else’s house)

I would certainly gift something to my niblings and niblets. I would love to own a VW camper, a boat, and a Porsche and a Harley.

I’d get a good accountant and financial planner to organise savings for the family, pay all my sister’s and mil’s bills, change the bathroom, fix guttering, get a plumber in for plumbing crap we haven’t been able to sort, get a larger washing machine that properly works and a ridiculously large tumble dryer that also actually works and quit my job after treating everyone in work to something!

I would love a tiny apartment in Paris.

I would move, I love Yorkshire and would hopefully move down there. Hopefully being Scottish would mean I wouldn't be treated as too much of an outsider!

I would then donate my house to the local council + huge maintenance fund with a condition that it is to be used to house homeless people. 1. It would be a nice thing to do. 2. Hopefully the people using the property would have barking dogs, blast music, smoke fags in the garden and generally be very anti social and make my arsehole neighbours life a misery....
