Winning the Lottery

I'm winning the double rollover tonight - got my ticket and feeling spectacularly lucky. Previous tickets I've hoped to win haven't come through, so I'm going into tonight with confidence and seeing if that makes a difference.

Planned out my winnings which covers the 5 mil ~ dream house purchase, enough to invest and draw on for a decent style of living for the rest of my life, helping family/friends clear their mortgages/debt. Buying a Birkin 😎

AIBU to ask what I'd be sending you with some of the rest? I have about £400,000 to play with, though want to spread it around a bit. Only overly indulgent gifts you'd never buy yourself but secretly really, really want are allowed.

Please may I have a pet potbelly pig? Thanks in advance

MounjaroOnMyMind · 29/01/2025 17:05

I would get Claudia's full wardrobe for The Traitors. I'm on a diet so please could you send them to me now and then send the same again in the autumn, but in a smaller size? Thanks!

Trying to out manifest me are we. I'll think you'll find Iive already written "Winner" on my ticket so it's too late 🤣🤣

Bit worried considering your username 😂 but if you pass some kind of screening by the RSPCA, sure! Your wish is my command ✨

Could I have a Rise&Fall cashmere scarf/throw in Viridian please. I have a pink one that I love already and to be honest could afford another but can’t justify it. But it’s a perfect lottery win gift.

Will do the same for you when I win in a few weeks.

Bentley convertible - £265K?

No actually a gift card to 123stitch so I can buy loads and loads of cross stitch to add to my ever growing pile

A signed first edition book by Stephen king..... ideally the first dark tower!!! Signed in person of course though I would probably pass out if I actually met him 😁🤣

Can I get a new patio with a hot tub please? It would very much help the pain I live with every day.

Maybe a pizza oven too.

Absolutely on it! Will take you up on the return as well, they look gorgeous 😍

Could I have a mulberry bag please. I don't mind if it's in the sale as I know you have a lot to do with that money and 1'm quite shocked at the audacity of such an extravagant request as I would never, never buy such a frivolously extravagant item myself 😱👜👛👜👛

MistressoftheDarkSide · 29/01/2025 17:11

Ooh, please may I have a Tonner doll - the Gothic one, with all of the outfits? TIA sweetie😘 xxxx Fingers all crossed for you 😘

CoffeeBeansGalore · 29/01/2025 17:13

Congratulations in advance 🥳.
A motorhome with shower & loo, and the little garage/storage bit for my mobility scooter. I could then easily visit friends & family around the country. Thank you 😊

I love my heated gilet but have realised I need a whole range so I would buy more heated gilets and heated coats. I get cold so easily and they are amazing

Oh, and a pet tortoise and all the paraphernalia she needs

And a library filled with books

Website says max on a gift card is £250 ~ will that be enough or will you need a few? 😉

Ah just re read and you were offering to gift us. I was assuming I still stood a chance of winning! Just another heated gilet please <smiles winningly>

I'd need a few, so many charts and so much fabric and threads

I would like my house redecorated from top to bottom by people who know what they are doing. As part of the package I will need to be accommodated in a lovely hotel for a week or two while they get on with it so I don’t need to move furniture or live with any inconvenience. I would also like two new squishy sofas please. While they are at it could they bring their friends in to do all the gardening jobs I know need doing and tidy up after themselves. Then as a final flourish I need the front of my house repainting.

Thankyou so much, @LottoWinner ,I really appreciate your kindness and generosity, and if the situation was reversed I would happily do the same for you.

Wigtopia · 29/01/2025 17:15

I want a luxury garden building containing a sauna, separate shower area, separate toilet, changing room with bench seats, a beer fridge and the building will need some decking at the front with a couple of chairs to sip a beer after sauna in summer months.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 29/01/2025 17:15

@madamweb Which one have you got? I'm rather tempted!

Hahaha ~ I'll buy the meet and greet ticket and book, but if you incur additional costs for your concussion you'll need to cover them yourself 😂

Abso-freaking-loutely. I'll give you the cash to buy one full price, and then if you'd prefer 2 on sale you can do what you need to do 👀

One from here uk.ororo.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwOe8BhCCARIsAGKeD57Dky-M01iviDZCuoqqxAjjDJfWL1djN08eAG3DbZbrbGvo8dCf3C8aAlJMEALw_wcB

I love it!

I really struggle if I get cold and it makes a huge difference

CoffeeBeansGalore · 29/01/2025 17:20

@madamweb Thank you 😊
