What would you do if you won Euromillions?

[Larowe]

I’d buy a stone cottage in the Cotswolds with a natural swimming pond and a flat in Notting Hill for when i got bored.

I would rescue 3/4 dogs (would be a gradual process as my current dog shepherds away dogs I show affection to)

Buy siblings and parents a house.

And probably foster. My job would come in the form of investing in female education in my grandparents’ home country. And something to do with the elderly here.

I’m a homebody so apart from a first class trip to Sydney I probably wouldn’t live too much a jet setter lifestyle.

I'd quite the job.
I'd bought a bigger house were I live
face surgery.
bought a mini cooper for myself and my husband
waky waky

Divorce my husband so i can live life peacefully with the kids.
Give loads away after buying property and having an amazing holiday.

I'm 69, so probably wouldn't have enough time left to spend it all on myself!

I'd buy a flat in a nice part of London and a house in Cornwall, plus a house for my step-DIL and grand-daughter, plus put a few mill in a trust fund to give them a reasonable income (stepson would get fuck all, because he's been an utter shit to them and practically everyone else, and he will inherit at least 1.5m from his mother, who's terminally ill).

I'd give my friend who's FT carer for her NT teenage son with additional MH problems enough to buy a decent home for them, so they can get out of the dreadful council estate that is driving them both slowly mad.

With the rest, I'd set up a charitable trust to fund welfare rights and housing advice in the county where I now live. I've worked in both those fields, and there is a real shortage of accessible advice and support for people who need help.

New big house.

Holidays.

Family and friends.

Charities.

Invest for a passive but hopefully ethical income.

I would continue to work part time but have a housekeeper and a regular part time nanny! Maybe to do after school a few times a week and once a week do a late shift where me and DH can go to nice restaurants!

A lovely home and a few holidays with my little ones.

A big win I’d emigrate to somewhere warm with glorious beaches

-buy a house and new car

• put money aside for kids
• buy 3 houses one for each child, but rent out at a low rate until they were old enough to need them.
• give lots to family
• give to charities
• hire a personal trainer and chef
• have cosmetic surgery to get rid of excess skin
• hire a cleaner!
• hire a personal shopper to completely design a wardrobe to my taste and sizing and have my clothes tailored to fit me perfectly (this one is particularly decadent but I would love not having to think about how things look and fit!!!)
• go on lots of trips (especially seeing the northern lights at Christmas time, road trip in America, beach holiday)

Ah wouldn't it be grand

I would set up a charity to support children from low paid working families to help them acheive their full potential- paying school fees/uni fees/grants to set up own business/driving lessons - things to improve social mobility for hard working families.
I would give some money to our local elderly day care centre, and to the church to set up a youth club as there is nowhere for teenagers to go.

No amount of money will fix my back, so I would spend a lot of it on drugs to stop the pain.
I'm on pain relief now but it's not working.
I'd go on a round the world trip, with my fsmily and any close friends that want to tag along. Explore every country with local experts but have a private chef to cater for my fussy dietary requirements, staying in really nice hotels.

I'd set up a scholarship for one pupil each year from my local town, this would cover college fees and rent provided they maintained their grades.

I'd hire a personal trainer, have my teeth done, boob lift and reduction,.

I would set up my own charity and manage it myself. I have a very specific plan in my head, I won't set out my business plan here. It revolves around helping single mothers especially young mothers move into the workplace and becoming independent by combining a childcare model with online and in person education and upskilling.

I would buy a beautiful house in the countryside just outside my favourite city. Not a mansion, more like a nice 5 bed (we have 2 kids and would love a home office) with half an acre garden. I would send both my kids to private schools, keep some back to help them buy a house, then give the rest away. I read about universal basic income in Kenya and how direct payments to people improve their lives far more than giving to charity, so that’s literally what I would do.

I would still work, likely 3 days a week if I was mortgage free, as not working and spending money all day would be a shit life plan and not good for my mental health.

I'd develop a hobby-business where it didn't actually matter if I made a profit or not. Either jewelery making/ selling or a retro and vintage shop in a cool part of town.

I'd still want to be busy, but on my.own terms and not working for anyone else.

this is my favourite fantasy... i would retire, hubby would retire, buy a new house, a new car and probably a villa abroad, nothing too exotic or far away, just far enough for a 2 hour flight.

we would not tell anyone we had one, and we would try to live as normally as possible.

we would gift cash to family members, not millions, but may 50/100K.

we would buy each of the children a house within a certain budget and we would set up and trust fund for the children to give them say 3k a month in cash to spend as they wish.

that would be it! hubby and i would live well, the kids would be ok, but i refuse to put millions in their bank accounts to squander and waste and they would get everything once we were dead anyway.

i know i sound miserable.. but have given it a lot of thought. i know if i gave my kids tonnes of money, they would be no different to how they are now, if we gave his kids tonnes of money, we would never see them again until they had spent it and wanted more.

Resign. Pay off some family mortgages. Buy a decent size smallholding and rescue some ponies then get some hypnotherapy so I can get back on board. Give a lot to charity, notably Marie Curie. Breed a stunningly healthy litter of a vulnerable native English breed of dogs.

Hand my notice in.
Buy a large bungalow beside the sea.
New cars.
Pay off kids student loans.
Employ a personal shopper and complete wardrobe revamp.
Cosmetic dentistry.
Holidays.
Pay off friends mortgages.
Donations to local cancer and animal charities.
Gifts for friends.

And then on the second day…. 😉

Buy a farm and never speak to anyone but my children again. Turn said farm into a rescue centre and animal sanctuary

Ooooh. I don't play, so zero chance, but:

Finish my house and get it absolutely beautiful. Then buy a big, very old, riverside house and restore it beautifully. And the garden.

Buy a couple of other smaller properties in places I like to/need to visit a lot.

Train as an interior designer.

Never cook another sodding meal but have a chef. And a cleaner. And a PA/housekeeper. And a private gym and a personal trainer. And loads of lovely clothes! No plastic surgery, though.

Buy homes for both dds.

Buy a home for my brother.

Pay off family and close friends' mortgages

Buy a super plush retirement home for my parents and ensure enough was available for top quality care when needed.

Write and travel.

I'd also love to set up some kind of charity programme for adult literacy, and another for music education for children.

@Perzival and @Alalalalalongalalalalalonglonglilong damn.... I was happy with my selfish plans but now I feel I need to fund these kids of charities and maybe limit myself to just one private jet ;)

I'm in the process of purchasing my first home (hence the username) and would happily pay cash and start mortgage free.

Holiday home in Dorset and perhaps a flat in Edinburgh.

Taylor Swift tickets, first class flights and a fancy hotel for one of her US shows.

Best friends mortgage?

Don't know what I'd do about family - I'd want to support everyone but can see millions down the drain/supporting addictions if I'm not careful. Maybe I'll just hire them a financial advisor to manage their money for them? This is worrying me far too much now for someone who hasn't won anything yet 😂

Divorce. Even if I had to share it . Then build myself my dream house and live by myself.

I have lots of burdens to deal with first.

But when I get round to me I'd like to:

Share my good luck with a few close friends (after all I didn't earn it).

Rent a villa in Italy or France for the whole
of July and August and ask our most treasured friends to come out and enjoy.

I'd like a room of my own.

Make sure that my mothers end of life makes up for her unhappy life.

Also a stone cottage, but by the sea on the Welsh coast… on the beach. And a bolt hole in either London or Paris. Heck I’m a multimillionaire, I’ll have both! I’d upgrade my car which is 13 years old and I would also get a couple of rescue pooches.

I’d pay off the mortgage of two dear friends and give another couple a deposit towards buying their first home. I already have premium bonds for my goddaughters but I would top these up to the maximum and sort out a few nice cash gifts for other nearest and dearest.

And then I’d take me and three of my closest friends on a really nice holiday.

Oh and I work for a charity and volunteer too, so would have to work out how to keep contributing to the not for profit sector. Not sure I would give up work entirely.

Buy a bottle of champagne and get tipsy would be the first thing.

Quit work second thing.

Then I would buy a flat in Mayfair and move there.

Gift money to my friends and family and set up a trust fund for DS. I'd buy him a house or flat and set him up for retirement but I'd expect him to go out to work as an adult, I wouldn't want him to never experiencing working for a living.

Then I'd spend my days travelling the world, getting fit with a PT, doing some volunteering.

Would be so lovely to be able to do little things like take my friends out for lunch and be able to cover the bill.

I would also maybe buy a couple of properties to rent out to single mums at very affordable prices. Although I'm not keen on the idea of hoarding properties.

I'd set up a trust to see my daughter comfortable forever.

Give my parents and siblings decent amounts.

As soon as my daughter finishes school I'd set off to retire in my home country.

See the world.

I'd buy a farm and employ only local people and train up up any interested youngsters and all age groups.

I'd also invest in making my 2 most recent 'business' plans - both involving travel and holidays.

Study that Phd and write those academic papers that still haven't been written although accepted as viable 20 years ago.

Get new teeth.
