How would you share your lottery winnings? Tell the National Lottery - £300 voucher to be won! NOW CLOSED

[AmeliaMumsnet]

Let’s just spend a few moments dreaming about winning the lottery! How would you spend a big windfall? The National Lottery would love hear who you would share your winnings with if you scooped a life changing Lotto prize?

Here’s what The National Lottery have to say: “Amazingly there are over 4,600 National Lottery millionaires now in the UK winning £1 million or more. And what’s lovely to hear is that 95% of winners say they share their jackpot prize with family, charities and friends; with one third helping their children first.*

Real winner stories:

· Matt – I paid off Mums mortgage aged 28… it was the best feeling in the world
· Trish – I’ve set up investments so that years from now my son will be a millionaire just like me
· Natalie – before the win mum gave us so much help with the children, it was amazing to take her on a dream trip to New York to show her how much we love her and appreciated all her support.

That’s what they did, so now tell us: Who would win if you win? Who tops the list of those you would treat and why? "

…would it be giving your DH the ‘boys toy’ he has always wanted?

…or perhaps rewarding Mum & Dad for all their help and support over the years?

…how about an all-expenses paid girly holiday in the sun?

…or is there an individual or community project you’d love to support and help make their dream a reality?

…or how about you invest in a holiday house that everybody can enjoy for years to come?

Everyone who posts on this thread telling The National Lottery about who they would share their Lotto winnings and how will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck,

We'll pay off all the mortgages in the family and then start having a bit of fun! Probably travel around the UK/Europe a little looking for a place to settle and study. I'd like to go back to uni to study physical education/nutrition, DH is interested in learning psychology/carpentry. Put most of the money in a high interest bank account and try to live off the interest - so we've got lots aside for a rainy day. Ooh and big acts of philanthropy.

Now this is my kind of question!
I've gone over this scenario so many times in my head.

I would pay of my mortgage.
Open more salons and expand the company name.
I would also re-train and learn to do botox/injections and introduce that into my salons.
A family holiday too Disney (Florida) and go the whole hog.

I'd treat my Mum and Dad to a sun, sea and sand holiday! They've been so helpful to my family over the years.

But of course, I'd love to buy my own house too.

I can't imagine ever getting a windfall.

The first thing I would do would be to move my disabled mum near to me. She doesn't own her own home and lives too far away to help her regularly. She struggles with everyday tasks and rarely leaves the house. I have 4 DC so don't have the space for her to move in. If she were nearer, I could run her about after work, take her to appointments, help with shopping etc. She hasn't had a holiday in 10 years, so I would take her away too.

Next, I would pay off some of the mortgage and invest money for my DC to go to university.

If there was any left over, I would set up a business, so that we can spend more time together as a family.

Thanks all for sharing - the winner of the prize draw was @feedmewinenow
