Winning the Lottery

[LottoWinner]

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.

I’ve already picked my dream house for when (not if 😅) I win the euro millions mega jackpots, I’d have so many places to visit, safari in Africa, Great Wall of china, lovely beach holiday somewhere sunny and quiet with white sands. Food and clothes shopping with no worry about costs, some private medicinal treatments, going to fancy restaurants, so many things

I'd like a Bramwell Brown clock please, with the copper casing. And an appointment with some kind of super duper magical hairdresser to the stars who could make my hair look amazing.

Can you rent me a vintage car (one of those open top ones where you pull up the seat at the back.) Room for my gang and a wicker picnic basket with refillable champagne. I want to traverse Europe in it, a bit like interrailing but not interrailing because I will stay in historic five star hotels and not be at all afraid of the extravagant bill. You could join us for a few days on the orient express during our adventure?

I'll make the numbers work and we'll get it done 😉

Fingers crossed for you OP. Some great wishes on here. Lovely thread.

Mine would be a cleaner once a week for a year. To do deep cleaning. That would free me, DH and DS up for a morning, so we could go for a nice walk in the country. DS has various SEND and we spend a lot of time navigating the education system on his behalf. Be nice to get out more and have some far horizons to give our brains a break.

LOVE this thread! I have spent so much time researching the house I’ll buy when I win, I’ve barely thought about the little things! This has opened up a whole new level of fun for playing the lottery, so thanks OP!

I’d like some fancy gym leggings please. Sweaty betty, lulumelon or whatever the good ones are. It’d be for the school run, not the gym, so nothing too garish, but with enough of a pattern to cover up the camel toe (or maybe I wouldn’t need that if I wasn’t in really cheap naff ones? Wouldn’t know, since I’ve never felt able to justify the cost of fancy ones!) Thanks 😘

Please could I have our garden landscaped into a lush, tropical paradise? And if you find a way to manipulate the UK weather so that we can actually use said garden for more thsn 2 days per year, that would be fantastic! Thanks in advance 😅

If I win a chunk but less than the jackpot (not that that's possible, because I'm winning it all - but like if it's rigged or something) then this definitely happens before anything else 💜

💯 ~ plus I'll make you up a hamper of all the best quirky beans 😍

On it! 🐴

@LottoWinner yes definitely, we will go jewellery shopping together! I am thinking maybe some diamond studs for you.

Once we've shopped, I will take you for a lovely lunch - it's the least I can do.

In Selfridges at Christmas there were there HUGE oversized jellycats and I had the same thought!

This is kind of boring but we went cheap on our upstairs carpets six years ago and could do with them being replaced. Your thread prompted me to buy a ticket though and the numbers looked liked potential winners, so might be able to buy my own.

Lovely! Yes absolutely. You'll have to have me over for the patio-sitting 😍

I keep getting notifications from my national lottery app that, on first glance, make it look like I’ve won the jackpot. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve enjoyed that split second before reality hits and I read it properly! I hope you do win tonight 🤞🏼

Can we have a double appointment? I can't remember the last time I went to a proper hairdresser instead of hacking off my own when it got too long 😂

Could I have a kitten or small cat please. We have just bought a new (to us) three seater settee and with one cat at each end it’s leaving a very bare space in the middle. Must be female, general moggie, colour not important. Thanks in advance

Sounds fab 👌 I come with a loud, boisterous 5 year old attached to me so I'm not sure it'll fit the vibe, but you can send postcards (and chocolate from Switzerland!)

I'd like the walls of my hall and staircase papered in William Morris Golden Lily please, the one with a dark burgundy background because it would look wonderful with the stair carpet.
Thanks for thinking of me; not all millionaires are so generous.

Oh lovely! I actually have a cleaner and yes, it makes so much space in your life for other things! Love love LOVE what you'd do with the time as well 💜

Please can I have a chair from their heritage collection, the red John Stewart Mill one please .

I know this feeling! 😂 Absolutely on it - maybe a little shopping spree to get some from everywhere and you can compare. I'll come too - would be nice to replace my very old outlet sale Nike ones!

Hmmm not sure what I can do about the weather, but I'll make the garden nice enough you won't even care if it's raining!

I'll definitely try the studs! And yum - will look forward to lunch 😋

Ahhh I don't know, maybe 150k for a small extension if that's okay, would be lovely to make a larger living space downstairs for hosting and parties, you must come for a bbq to celebrate once the work is complete my partner will cook as it's not my thing
