If you won the Lottery Jackpot?

Lets keep it at say 10 Million.

I must admit, sometimes when I am in the office and its a slow day, I do sometimes just sit and imagine what I would do. Would I go public? What Car(s) would I buy, Where would I live.

Apparently, when you win you call the Hotline and they process the claim. A Camelot bod comes round the next day and gives you loads of advice etc then says, Congratulations, you are a Winner. They then do a direct transfer into your account. They also set you up with Financial guidance etc.

So what would be the first thing you would do? Would you tell anyone?

I think the first thing I would do would be to get Mum and Dad round for dinner on Sunday and get the Lottery bod to turn up at the same time. That would be a nice surprise. They could then both retire and spend the rest of their days travelling around the world.

I would take a small group of us (Family and Friends) to do Vegas properly. First class, Suites etc and really see how the other half live. Pay off a few mortgages, buy a really nice house, take the Missus away on an amazing holiday (Bora Bora in style amongst other things) and generally, make everyone's lives that little bit better.

I would invest in something, start my own business, I'd quit my job thats for sure. I'd prob go into the food business as thats my second passion.. well I say second, I enjoy it as much as IT.

 

me and my 5 close friends have an agreement that if one of us won anything above 500,000, we'd split 10% of the winnings between the friends. we don't have time for syndicates so just go on that basis.

If i won 10mil i'd do the following in this order:

- Sort my friends their cut
- 1 mil to dad, 1 mil to mum, 1 mil to sister.
- Take all of my friends and family to an exotic location and pay for everything the whole trip
- Buy a luxury car & motorbike (100k tops)
- Buy a decent size house, no more than 1 mil
- Start my own IT business

Hopefully have around 2-3 mil left in the bank to see me out.

 

First thing I'd do is divorce the wife and get a younger eastern european model...

 

Pay off all my immediate families debt and give them extra to be comfortable
Travel the world

 

I would pay a few peoples mortgages off, possibly a holiday as well

For myself a decent house and a new car, nothing flash, new corsa etc. Few gadgets as well and live off the interest.

I would not go public at all, imagine all those begging letters and if not that then the threats from people who want your money
