Euromillions tomorrow is £109m.

AIBU to fantasise about it? 😂 honestly, what would you do with that money? I wouldn’t want to live a lavish lifestyle, I’d buy a farm house with shit loads of land for my dog. That’s all I want. Then I’d give up work and concentrate on charity work, writing and dog training. I’d be just pleased not to have to work in nursing anymore.

Clear my mortgage. Pay off my 2 sisters and friends’ mortgages. Set up a charity for children in my community and have my sisters and friends come and work with me.

Go on holiday to Japan

I'd get the divorce I've been working towards for four years. Then I'd have half the lottery win, but I'd survive ;)

I'd give money to causes close to my heart and DBro.

I'd have a chef and housekeeper

I'd have someone to drive my kids around to their activities.

I'd totally renovate my house.

And I'd not tell anybody. Ever.

@lookatallthosechickens

All of this sounds lovely but the majority of big lottery winners are broke, addicted, miserable, and estranged from friends and family within a couple of years. No thanks.

How do you end up broke after that much money?? I’ve never understood it

I'd find it really difficult because I'd want to help friends and family out but I wouldn't want anyone to know how much I'd won (that kind of news would spread very quickly!!) It'd be a lovely problem to have though.

I'd pay off the mortgage, but a second home by the sea somewhere and have some lovely holidays.

I have thought of a way around that tiredanddangerous. Decide how much you are going to give family, set up a meeting with a solicitor or similar. Tell them you want to give everyone eg £2 million. They then set up a wider family meeting where they announce a random millionaire relative in the US has died, and everyone gets money (including you!) Everyone is excited, no-one knows it's from you, you can spend money without everyone knowing where it's come from! Et voila!! I think I've spent a little too much time thinking about this

I'd buy a different house, but very very very close to where I am now. I'm already living my dream life. (no, not in some lavish, luxury area). But its everything we want.

If i moved further out I'd be lonely and my kids wouldn't be able to knock on for their mates.

I'd use the money for experiences and holidays.
To give me the chance to learn something interesting, perhaps to get into nursing

Just nipped out and bought a couple of tickets. 😀

I would but a house in the country and have horses and dogs everywhere. Perhaps open a riding school, but have other people there to run it.
I would share some out with family and probably invest quite a bit of it.

My plan for that is to say nothing for a for weeks. Then, when there's a ticket that won 8/10 million or so, I'd tell my family and friends I won. They'd then be nosy, look it up, and think that was the win.

Then you can give them a decent amount without everyone thinking "Well she's got 100mil, how tight".

Plus every now and again if you want to splurge out a bit more on people you can dish out a few grand here and there and say that it came from an investment that the lottery people had sorted for you without going into any detail because it would be assumed I know fuck all about stocks and shares type things.

Bigger house here, mews house in London, and a beachy house somewhere sunny. I would be happy as a clam moving between the three.

Damp-free house for my mum, with a bigger garden than she has now, and someone to cut the grass for her.

A new Mini for me, and a car of some sort for DH. I would love for us not to share a car.

I’d give £1m to the DC’s school.

If I could keep it secret for a few days, the first thing I'd do would be to buy a classic car for DP. An early Aston Martin, or 1950s Jaguar perhaps.

I would hand in my notice at work and book a cottage or house somewhere very quiet for a fortnight while I processed the thought. I'd want to set up some sort of housing/homelessness-related charity with most of it, as it is more than I could ever spend in my lifetime, and it would require a lot of thought as to the best way to do it.

But I'd start looking for a nice, secluded house with sea views somewhere, probably in the SW, and give my sort-of ex-DIL (mother of DP's DGD) half a mill to buy herself a forever home for her and DGD.

OP I've just had to go and buy a ticket now.....(and I very very rarely buy a lottery ticket, but I do enjoy the daydream game).

Quit job, buy a couple of dream houses in the U.K. and Europe, with land and get some animals. Help out family. My DP and I would find plenty of things to fill our days. He would get flying lessons, I would learn some more languages and the piano, plus looking after the animals.

But my charity daydream idea is a property company that has two limbs to it - a commercial property development company, buying and renovating property / leasing it to make a profit to fund the charitable limb, which would be 1) accommodation for homeless people with a bit more permanence and stability to help them get back on their feet with help and support to deal with MH issues and applying for jobs, and then 2) low-cost but decent, well designed, well-built social housing (ie much much better than what currently passes for affordable housing in most cities).

I would buy a new house, something bigger and detached but not daft. I'd give some to all my family and friends. Then I'd start a "make a wish" style charity and anyone could apply and I would just grant all sorts of wishes. I'd also buy some houses and set up another charity for women who wanted to leave abusive relationships to live in for free for a year or two while they got on their feet.

After helping charity /friends etc

1. Spend a month in the Maldives with 20 x family members.
2. Hire a yacht and sail the world, esp South Pacific
3. Buy a fucking enormous mansion
4. Set up a trust find where DC only get a small amount per year so still motivated to work.
5. Build cottage on my grounds for DPs and in laws
6. Build a pool
7. Hire chauffeur as I hate driving
8. Have 4 more DC,
9. Set up a company revolving around my hobby
10. Get night nannies so I can actually sleep
11. Buy an electric car

It would sort out my upcoming Mat leave.

I'd buy a big house, with a pool. I miss swimming so much.

Buy houses for my sisters

Send DS to an amazing alternative school I can't afford

Buy a horse. I can't ride, but hey its a fantasy! I'd be firmly keeping the win anonymous.

Bought my ticket, now on Rightmove looking at commercial premises for my shiny new events business 👍

Buy my forever home
Sort out all my nearest and dearest
Sort out my Ex-H (he’s appalling with money and I’d like to give him a final shot at stability for our kids’ sakes—would be up to him how he handled things from there on out)
I wouldn’t quit my job but I’d certainly sweat less about the little stuff
Travel widely for the rest of my life
Be a secret benefactor of various people and causes ❤️

Pay off my debts. Pay off family debts and buy them all a great big house and nice car. Buy myself a house in the country with land to become a bit more self-sustaining. Money in trust for DD, nieces and nephews.

I'd love to do the Dolly Parton thing and pay for everyone to have free books. Once a month everyone on the list gets a lovely new book to read.

Probably hire myself a live-in hairdresser and also a chef so I can finally ditch the excess baby weight. She's nearly 3!

As you're asking today, I'd leave my DP. If you ask me tomorrow, I'd begrudgingly say I'd set him up in the business I know he'd love.

I would buy a big house in Hampstead or somewhere lovely.

I would hire a chef, and a personal trainer. They could take the effort out of ‘being healthy’ which means I’m much more likely to actually do it.

I would quit my job immediately.

I would help my family out.

I would go on some fabulous holidays but come home to my cat who I love a lot.

Other than that; I hope my life wouldn’t change too much. I would live near Hampstead anyway, so I would still eat in the same restaurants, have a pint in the same pubs as I do now. I love my life as it is, so apart from the massive fuck off great huge house and extremely spendy hols, I would hope much of it would stay the same.

I’d become a perpetual student. Travel the world when it’s allowed
With my family. Buy a nice house in a large village/small market town with a selection of pubs. Room for a pony

Help out a couple of friends, lie to family about how much we had won as they would want it all.

Give some money to charity esp childlinr, war child And my friends charity they set up for their daughter when she died of cancer.

Buy a horse (well pony-I’m short), a lovely dales pony Would be fab. Take on a couple of rescue donkeys,

Dedicate the rest of my life to getting love island And the Kardashians removed from the tv schedule

My plan for that is to say nothing for a for weeks. Then, when there's a ticket that won 8/10 million or so, I'd tell my family and friends I won. They'd then be nosy, look it up, and think that was the win.

Then you can give them a decent amount without everyone thinking "Well she's got 100mil, how tight".

Haha, I've thought the exact same. Got it all worked out 😂.

I'd probably buy an island and build my own house far away from other people and of course my own boat to get there.

Some of you have made me smile with your wishes of paying off student loans or extensions or a new small car. That money is immense. The rough interest is 80,000 per month!

I’d love to give it a go though, think I’d give a lot of it away.

I'd retrain as a postnatal doula and "work" for free. So many mums that need support can't access it. I'd love to help to be someone else's village.

That's a really lovely idea
