I'm not sure if there is any mobile phone coverage at 35000 feet. I'd be too busy enjoying the view from the window of the private jet I'd be in on the way to a small secluded island in the Indian Ocean!!  |

Keep it ourselves apart from our parents and immediate siblings, nobody else.
Next action, straight to the airport to get the hell out of this country and take all my money abroad. |

I've thought about this several times and I wouldn't tell anybody.
What I would do however is pay my mum's house off for her.
Then get a nice but not O.T.T place for myself and put the rest into property on auction to develop and rent out.
The population is going one way, up. So property is a safe long term bet.
Plus my best friend is a plasterer and knows other people in the trade business and what to look for and obviously the restoration would be business his way so he wouldn't mind helping. |

I don't think I'd really believe it until I could see it in my bank account 
Definitely tell as few people as possible.
I think I'd feel too guilty sacking work off completely so I'd work my notice or pay for someone from an agency to cover it immediately as I'd feel bad dropping my colleagues in it. |

I'd pay off my debts, my family's debts and my close friends debts.
I'd buy a family home with plenty of garage space then head off to order a Maseratti Quatroporte and an Alfa Disco Volante (plus buy several classic Alfa's).
I'd also buy a house for each of my kids and a second home for myself in Louisiana.
I'd tell as few people as possible. |

I'd be checking the numbers over and over again!
Then as soon as I possibly could I would go to the shop to get them checked!
I'm not how it works if you win a massive amount. Or how long you would wait for the money.
I'd go and buy some bottles of Asti and champagne and go to my parents house, text my boy to come over from where ever he maybe and tell them I had some good news  |

My Brother won a ton of money in 1983 when he was 21 (I know, many of you weren't born then). They tried to convince him to be in the papers and have the cheque presented by a sports celebrity. He didn't. He bought a house, a car and took me to Hawaii for 16 days. I love my Brother! |

Depends on the amount......
Wouldn't tell many people to start with....would pay off a few mortgages (ours, mums, best friends etc), would get hubby whatever car he wanted.
Would tell work to poke it.....
And would book a nice holiday.
Would also like to start some kind of animal sanctuary and live in the middle on no-where so would sort that out after the holiday! |

I'd tell nobody outside my immediate family. Move house, but stay local. I'd continue to work for my company until my replacement was trained and use that time to think what I really wanted.
I've no real reason to make big changes. |

That's easy I have already a plan in place.
First I would complete work on my flying castle and then I would declare war on France. After that the rest of the World would respect me and bow down to to me and my new world order. |

"wow. there's a thread on homelessness on the other page...who needs 15 million when there's people on the streets.
stop being so selfish, you only need 1 million."
Chill out! It's a fantasy thread for christ sake!
On that note, have you thought about donating what you charge guys to come and fuck, piss or whatever to the homeless!
Thought not.
Get off the thread if you don't like it. |

"You won the lottery on Friday??
Would you tell people right away?
Keep it to yourself? "
If I won it this Friday I'd finish my 12 hour night shift calmly walk home in the rain ring around the family at 6 in the morning to let them know then order a sky writer to let the world know
As to what I'd do with it always wanted a wheel clamping company of my own and maybe buy out my work place and take back on the guys they've laid off and with the money run it properly |

Stop being so selfish. No-one needs 1 million.
What are you personally doing to prevent homelessness?
Way to piss all over a fun thread  |

I wouldn't tell a soul.
I'd carry on as normal as possible until someone twigged that I wasn't working anymore and I was spending most of my time in the pub. Then I would invite anyone who wanted to to join me. |

I'd put enough aside to see me through the rest of my studies (five years, at least) and buy the house I live in. Then I'd buy one of my partners the coffee shop he's always wanted to run, and the other partner a new time trial bike. (And possibly a car so that he's not driving his current death-trap.)
Then I'd give a bursary of money to my university to fund mature students interested in doing History of Art research. And probably some to the Tate to acquire some new works that interest me. |

"Pay off the debts of those who have stuck by me over the years.

Same. To be able to help people that have stood by you, would be fantastic |

I'd keep schtum until the cheque cleared! And then buy a house as I currently live in a flat.
Give some to my sister, parents and grandparents and put some away for my niece and nephew.
I work two jobs so I'd give up the part time one. Probably keep the day job until I decided what I wanted to do, but take an unpaid break and maybe go travelling for a while |

Sort out family and close friends. Buy some land and get a house designed to spec. Go on holiday for the time it takes to build. Fill its garage with beautiful cars. DB9 F40 classic coach built rolls new jag convertible 69 mustang, 07 mustang soft top.
Then build and run a cat sanctuary to keep occupied. |

I would sit down with a nice cup of tea and some tranquilisers to stop me panicking. I would begin to write a list of all the people I want to give some money to. Once I've told my children they can decide where they want to go on holiday and live. Anywhere they go I go too. I would book myself and a friend into a spa hotel for a couple of days and enjoy the hydrotherapy and massages. Once I'm back from my holiday and settled into my new home I would look at how best to occupy myself,maybe a small business,I've always fancied owning a florists and I can employ a couple of people. I would ask a man friend to accompany me to Italy,maybe on a driving holiday. Lastly I would go to Battersea dogs home and find myself a couple of dogs for company. |

"I'd go on holiday for 6 months and have a really good think about it"
Set my family up and close friends, Then ask some fab friends would they like to go on a few holidays but still wouldn't tell everyone, If they didn't want to talk/meet before I had the money I wouldn't tell them just to get a meet as am sure a lot of people would change there mind or show a lot more attention to me |

I would just tell my parents straight away and then we would pack and move to spain the week after and retire earlier than planned, although we will move to spain anyway next year, so it would just be a quicker move if I would win  |

Would only tell close family and friends to start with. Friday night out for a few drinks to celebrate, probably recover from hangover on Saturday and then retire from work, buy a house and book a good holiday somewhere exotic and HOT!  |

No I kinda think the same! I enjoy what I do and it gives my life a bit of structure. I'd maybe try and take a sabbatical for a year or something but not pack it in entirely. |

No I don't think so
But you could make it a whole lot easier - carry on working but have a cook, ckeaner, gardener etc to do all the domestic chores |

I have thought about this a thousand times....
If it was the big one.... I would start an agency....
With around 10 - 15 others and our mission would be to give £10K (or equivalent) to normal working people, not charities, just people who work hard and are still treading water...
The agents would make a case for each person, obviously they would have to have something special about them.
And we would vote on who receives the cash.
1M is more than enough for me, the rest I feel would be better off giving people a boost. |

No one would ever know, just randomly receive £10K, no name, nothing, just this arrived for you, from the bank.
The competition would be internal amongst the guys in the office.
And this isn't me being altruistic in any way, yes this is just to amuse me for the rest of my life....
That's what a large sum of cash is for! |

Simply no complete fuck ups, not done any great acts, but maybe want to start a business, a school, help people...
I had an American girlfriend once in China & at Christmas time she organised a thing for all the Americans in Shanghai to come and visit sick children and buy them Christmas presents.
She was over subscribed and the presents that people bought were out of this world!
She put that together:
A. Because she thought it would be fun and be something to do.
B. She could and she could use her influence to encourage people to come.
As it turned out, too many wanted to come, the money spent was phenomenal!
And she ended up in tears for about 2 days after, just randomly crying....
But I was so fucking impressed, it will never leave me! |

I would donate 80% of it to my local hospital. in the subsequent press conference i would ask why every other wealthy mother fucker doesn't do the same? Is it so important to them that they remain filthy rich while normal people suffer on waiting lists? I suppose it would be easy for me as i wouldn't be used to the money like they are. Bless them...  |

Would be amazing to win the lottery but It would freak me out to win such a huge amount of money. A few million would suit me, less chance of begging / threatening letters and wouldn't feel the need to move out of the area I like living in.
I would also keep it quiet as humanly possible, carry on working for a while until I suss out a plan of action.
