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

@SocksOnTheSaucepan

nah, don't waste any money on them! Toilet paper is good enough!!

A smallholding, rescue some animals and employ a farmhand to help. Nothing else.

I'd pay off my DD's student loan and then pay off my mortgage. I'd also pay off a close friend's mortgage.

I need nothing for myself. It would give me enormous joy to facilitate my boys and their families finding their forever home without a mortgage.
Id love to be able to afford regular wonderful holidays for my husband, myself and our wider family. I would hire someone to find my brother.

@Mairzydotes

woah steady on. Once you've ordered a takeaway there might not be much left!

I looked at getting a Thai delivery tonight, but didn't, I don't have a spare. Organ to sell!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. For me, the fun was in the specificity of the question! It made me think about the scenario from a different approach to my normal one. It is interesting that for so many people, it being 'for fun' seems to mean that accuracy isn't relevant.

My answer is a holiday, as soon as the money was in my account.

A music instrument my child would really like, so they can start having music lessons

Mine was in order of purchase.

House.
Driving lessons.
Then a nice car.
Then a campervan.
A large deposit for a property for my DD.

A house that doesn’t need anything fixing, to end my days there without fear of it becoming uninhabitable.

A car

new cars for both of us and ours are both 15+ years old.

then a nice big detached house in a local village to us

DD’s house and I’d buy the house next door by making her neighbours an offer they can’t refuse.
She’s having to sell up because her bastard ex walked out on her and my 4yo Grandson a month ago. She can’t afford a £1500 a month mortgage on her own.
Then me and DH would go on a cruise to Japan

I will buy the notice period on my job first and then a one way ticket to a warmer, sunny country.

A headstone for my dad, then a house, then pay off the finance on the car.

First thing that I would buy would be a nice new bed. mine is 15 yrs old and definitely feeling it.

How sad is that?!?

after that I’d buy my parents a manageable house with a little walled garden they could enjoy. Mainly for my mum, whose needs have always come last throughout her life.

Then, I’d consider paying off my mortgage and employing a builder to sort out the problems I’ve been ignoring.

Anything after that would go into my two kids’ leaving home funds.

@greyrockagain 10million

how far away do you want your kids to go?

@Hillrunning

well it's Saturday night, so it would probably be a new notebook to arrive early tomorrow morning so I can start planning ASAP I'd go out in the morning to a nice cafe & drink lots of latte!

Donate money to local dog rescue.

First- a boat. It was to be a monohull but I think, for DH sake, a cat. So a sea wind like the 1370 or a HH (probably a44).

Then land with a stream. So I can grow vegetables and generate power.

I'd take my mum to pizza hut and get no pizza, just unlimited ice cream factory.

I made the plan when I was 7 (then it was mum winning and taking me) and would stick with it. Slight barrier of having never played the lottery in adult life though.

A car and a holiday.

A wood.

I came to say new knees! Since that takes too long, the first thing would be some new socks, mine are all wearing out

A cat of every colour. 😃

I mean, I can now afford a big enough house for them all.
