Winning the lottery
Jump to: Newest in thread
Probably give my son a big chunk for a decent start on the property ladder.
Look for a home for myself that was what I wanted, somewhere I'd enjoy, rather than somewhere that's necessary as it's all I can afford to rent.

A large cottage or converted church.
A house for my mam.
A car and motorbike
Even a house for my kids dad as they live with him (see me often) so essentially securing my children
The rest I would invest in a dress shop business similar to blue banana |

House, car..the usual although nothing stupidly big then make a lot of my loved ones very comfortable!
It would certainly be lovely to give to those that play a big part in your life.

I’ve never done the lottery but if I came into that amount of money I think I’d buy a portfolio of AirBnB properties at the moment |

If someone hypothetically won the lottery in this thread, they should give me a couple of thousand so I can pay rent for a year and not worry about it  |

Buy property and talk to an investment banker who knows what they’re doing. If you suddenly land your self several million just remember it’s easy to blow it quickly. Put a good chunk of it into investments I’d say. |

Very lucky to win twice what’s the odds? . For a while I had the max allowed on premium bonds used to win most months, the odds were great , you were more likely to win that not.... until they changed the rules |

When the lottery first started a financial advisor was interviewed on radio. A caller rang in and said she'd buy her 10 best friends a house each. The financial advisor told her she'd then only have 10 friends. Why is that, the caller asked. Well, imagine how your 11th, 12th... 20th best friends will feel, being left out... Far better to buy all your friends a gift of comparable value. |

Update the house & see if next door would sell the small but of the woodland he doesn’t use. A flat in London, somewhere like The Barbican & another somewhere on the south coast Devon/Cornwall way. They can be Air B&B’d when we are not using them.
First though I’d sort out the brother in law & his Mrs for a suitable house as he’s going to need one once out of hospital after getting covid bad.

For large win set up a charity for family and friends? So gifts are sent annomimasly mortgages repaid, houses purchases generally assist from a far.
Help UK kids charities.
Follow the Sun try and do more good than bad.

I’d start a swingers club- but make it the best swingers club you’ve ever seen. Not sure what that would look like as never been to a club... better start research |

Buy a big (not lavish) house with a very private garden and pool. The obligatory daily car and a sports car.
Find a couple of small companies that do cleaning, gardening, general maintenance that sort of stuff and pay them more than they ask for.
Look after my nearest and dearest then buy a bunch of houses and start property developing and ensure that some charities benefit off the back of any profit from my properties.
Probably open up some sort of youth centre to try and help keep some vulnerable children and teens off the streets and try and keep them away from trouble, coupled with some sort of work experience outreach program with some local companies, try and give these youths a lift whilst helping local businesses |

1. Tell nobody.
2. Quit work. Tell nobody.
3. Buy somewhere to live. Nothing flashy; just something I can pretend I saved up for.
4. Learn to drive.
5. Buy a car. Again, no need for a penis extension; just something black, reliable, and with enough leg room that it's physically possible for me to drive it.
6. Invest the rest. I don't need to be *rich*; I just want to never work again.
7. Devote the rest of my life to discovering what it feels like to have enough sex.
8. Eventually die of something other than exposure or malnutrition, which I currently fear will be my ultimate fate. |

both my maternal and paternal nannies won a *lot* of money.. one in the 80s, the other the early 00s.
both of them had a 'plan' so to speak.. what they'd do with it, bank and leave it, earn interest, houses cars Holidays helping family blah blah blah.
they ended up pissing it away, and it turned some family members very sour.
really wasn't all it was cracked up to be, for them at least.
however for me, it would change the lives of myself and my family.

I would upgrade my radio studio and buy some more dream guitars. I would contribute to local food bank and set up a trust for local hospital to help veterans / families mental health support. |

I've thought this through as I live in dreamland.
I'd tell my family that I won £150,000 so they don't get suspicious.
I'd then rent out a beautiful home with my partner and daughter for two or three months so I could figure out where we will buy a house and all that financial crap.
I'd move to Ireland, buy a house with so much land and easy access to the beach.
I'd go on holiday four or five times a year and travel the world.
I'd have some surgery. I'd buy every pretty dress I ever came across and all the lingerie in the world.
I'd probably hire a private chef for a year or two.
I'd definitely get a home gym.
I'd make sure enough was put away for my children in the future.
I'd treat those who are special to me.
I'd like to give running kennels for dogs a go.

I remember in the early days winners being interviewed some years later about what they did etc. A guy won 9.8M took his best mate who didn't have a job off to the Bahamas, five star hotel etc. while he decided what to do, five months laters they came back to the UK & he hadn't spent the interest his money had made just sitting in a suitable account. Bad investments & silly purchases (flash cars, even a helicopter) meant he ended up with about 2m & in a 1.5m house but it was enough at that time to give him a £1300pw income.
Our old house was bought by a developer, really nice guy & he paid us £30k over the odds simply because he knew where & why we wanted to move to & I said although a fair price it wasn't enough so we would stay put & save for a good few years! when chatting to him he said "It doesn't matter to me anymore, I can't spend it fast enough anyway. He was earning £10k a week in interest alone without any profits or salaries he would take.
Crazy world we live in...

Logically I’d:
Get a qualified financial advisor.
Pay my parents mortgage and outstanding debts.
Give my immediate family 250k each.
Set up a standing order for my nieces and nephews in a junior ISA until their 18th birthdays
Buy a myself a house with enough space that I could built a music studio.
Get private lessons in all my favourite hobbies with the best instructors/teachers
Quit my job and find a nice part time thing to keep me humble.
Do a Degree or Masters in psychology

"Investment haha my mate won 2.7 mill 2007 they told him to invest 1 mill then 2008 came and so did the crash it took him till 2018 to get the share price of what he put in "
General pooled investment funds in balanced sector had recovered within 12-13 months. Far better than individual shareholdings guessing he must been in some pretty aggressive stocks. |

interest is pre tax income - you don't add profit on top, you pay tax out of it
and this must have been w significant time ago because rates are so low now that actually for large sums of money there is a chance you will get zero percent or in some currencies you wil actually pay interest to hold it in a bank - the euro wholesale market is particularly in this position just now |

"If you won the jackpot in the lottery what would you but first. Errr asking for a friend  "
Tell your friend to keep their bloody nose out of my financials ... 
It’d be the house I’ve grown up in and then a house somewhere sunny and a new car . Oh and a gym
I miss the gym soo bloody much but it’d be my own little personal gym so I can go without a mask and sanitizer |

I’d secure a decent monthly income (kinda like the Lotto’s own ‘£10K per month for life’) in whatever investments I’d get advice on.
The rest I’d probably invest in a passion; something I’d happily do every day even if I wasn’t getting paid to. Usually that can be come a successful business, from which charities/wider society could benefit, for example. |

The cold sweats and excitement when you get that email, good news about your lottery ticket.
You've won £11.80. Oh how I won't let money change me .
If I won a lot I'd try to help as many people friends and family as I could. I've never wanted for fancy excess stuff only small comforts. Flash cars and houses abroad really don't interest me.
You can all visit me in my ferrari and several mansions when I do though |
