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.

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

Not going to lie, it creeped me out a bit when I googled it 😂 But yes of course! 🤞

Please could you pay for me to replace my roof as its seriously stressing me out? I can feel the wind whistling through my son's light fittings. Or, failing that, pay to have my garden wall rebuilt as the storm pulled it down. I'll swap you for some home-grown veg.

Thank you in advance.

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 😊

OMG love this for you! I'm too partial to a hotel I think to actually buy this myself, but you'll have to stop by my dream home on your travels so I can check it out! 🙂

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 😂

@LottoWinner i definitely will 🤣🤣 good luck with the lottery tonight 😁

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

Hahaha. Yes to all three!

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.

YESSSS! Especially to the lovely hotel part so you can properly relax whilst having all the work done 😍

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.

Donezo! Will that fridge be fully stocked with fun international varied beers? Or all your fave brand?

Thank you for your understanding Living with the mess and disruption is the very worst thing about re decoration.

Sheesh! Yes of course to both. The offer was supposedly unconditional but I won't turn down some homegrown veg 😋 (that is, until my veggie planters tended by my new gardener in my new house are ready for harvesting!)

Oooh this is going on my list too! Absolutely 😉 Will even throw in enough to cover drinks in the theatre (arguably the one price I'd never pay myself no matter how many millions I won!)

I’m all about the fun! As long as there aren’t any of those stupid high % beers I’ll be grand.

though now that I think about it, those little French beers from Lidl would do really do the trick!

I'll be looking for mine once I win and quit my job - hoping I'll have more time for fun stuff so will definitely hit you up and we can go do bucket list stuff together if you're up for a new friend!

@viques hahahah as a teen I watched those home renovation videos and couldn't understand why people said it was stressful! As an adult I laugh at my own foolishness and can't wait to outsource any DIY whilst on my monthly trips to Paris 💅

This thread is so so lovely 😍

Thank you for starting it @LottoWinner

I can't really express it well but it's such a tonic seeing everyone sharing their indulgences and the warm and generous idea of it actually touches me more than any material thing.

I'd want to make people happy if I had money too.

Much love ❤️

biscuitcat · 29/01/2025 17:39

I'll take a Faberge Egg locket please - my favourite one is about £44k but I'm not greedy, one of the bargain basement £12k ones would be nearly as nice...

Elodie09 · 29/01/2025 17:40

Ah no, someone beat me to it!
I have wanted a Mulberry bag for a very, very long time.
I know which one , it is the Mulberry Bayswater in tan leather.
Spendy though I know.
Good luck for tonight anyway @LottoWinner .
