What's the 1st thing you'd buy if you won 10 million on the lottery

A house 1 mile away from where I am now. I love my house I am in but the street and neighbourhood is awful. Unfortunately it’s all I could get as I homeless after a divorce and now live in a LA house. I am very lucky to get this house and not ungrateful I just fee frightened here. My martial home was 1 mile away and I loved it there, I’ve swapped one fear for another. Moral of the story - get your ducks in a row. lol.

Excellent advice.

I’d pay all my debts off then buy a house and a new car. I’d then gift money to my mother & in-laws and go on a lovely holiday abroad.

I'd buy my next door neighbours house and knock through 🤔 OR buy it and don't knock through but have a joint garden and my (adult) kids can live in that house. If i offered ndn enough money they'd leave immediately 🤷🏼‍♂️

Holiday

A house for my friend - she's incredible! One of life's angels 💖

A few pints or a coffee and cake depending on the time of day.

A home.

Get the garden done. We woukd probably stay in our house for a bit whilst we figured out where we wanted to buy and having the garden done so that we could enjoy it properly in the interim woukd be bliss.

I'd check myself into the most amazing hotel in my city and get busy with my spreadsheet with a bottle of champagne in hand. I'm such a planner that I've planned what I would do in this situation

Most of the suggestions here would take quite a bit of time to sort out! I suspect my first purchase would probably be a bottle of Krug as I could pick one up from a shop nearby!

Flights to somewhere hot and quiet where me, DH and DD could relax and take time to think about what we want to do next with the money.

A housekeeper couple- one to do the cooking/laundry/cleaning etc, one to be driver/handyperson/PA/carry my bags for me....

A chauffer, obviously I'm not going to buy one, but would employ one. I don't need a fancy car, I really just hate driving.

Rolex! (As soon as I could find one for sale - would probably get a second hand one)

Longer term things (depending on how big a win we're talking):
Consider getting a nanny
And consider taking a year off work to do a degree

An eternity ring, I think £20,000 would get me what I want. To remember the moment forever.

A fancy horse lorry 🚛

A livery yard 🐎

Another pony 😄

I’d take DH and the kids to the big shopping centre near us and just go wild for the day. Mulberry’s, Louboutins, Rolex (smiggle for the kids 🤣) just all the high end shops I’d never go near normally I’d be in there buying all kinds.
Then I’d be sensible and invest it and shit.

Pay off our mortgage.
And buy houses for our kids.
But probably a slap up meal before that!
Would also be booking a fabulous holiday.
Ooh and a beautiful sapphire and diamond ring!
But first would be a meal to celebrate!

A bungalow with lots of space so my disabled child could get around more easily.

A new house in the expensive market town I love. Houses for my adult DC.House on the south coast.

Nothing exciting, I'd send some money to my children then book a holiday.

@Hillrunning
No, you're not alone!!

& others listing 50 things, that's not the FIRST thing you'd buy.

but I try not to it get to me as it's supposed to be a bit of fun.

@Needmorelego I hear ya!!! That would be me once I'd bought a house big enough to house the entire Lego collection I'd be buying 🤩

Electric fence around my black bin so people wont put stuff into it
