What would you do if you won the Lottery?
 
Let's say you won £5 million. How would you spend it?

I'd be a bit boring with mine, I'd take out a £100,000 and go on a spending spree with it, buy new clothes, a new computer and a laptop, a Ps3 & a Wii, games, DVDs, Music ETC (even then I'd probably still have a fair bit left over). Then I'd take some more money and find a good business to invest in, be a silent partner and all that. I'd learn how to drive, buy a car and go to University and eventually buy a house and pursue a career in writing while engaging in a very comfy lifestyle as I'd still have millions in the bank.

I'd also set up my family, I'd pay off my parent's mortgages and Bills and such and set them up with an account for them to pursue projects with. I'd do the same with my brother & sister too and I'd buy my nan a new house as the area she lives in at the moment isn't the nicest place to live.

I'd buy Joe McElderry.

And hire a hit-man on to UKTURTLE. He's in my bad book at the moment. :p

Niamh. 05-11-2010 01:52 PM

I'd pay off my mortgage first, then buy some of the field next to me and extend the house. I would buy each of my kids a house and rent them out till they're old enough to have them plus bank the rent money for them. I'd sort out my families mortgages buy my 2 younger brothers a house. I'd buy a couple of run down houses to do up and sell on as a project, then I'd plan my travels!

Novo 05-11-2010 01:56 PM

Haven't got a clue

I'd probably go and live in america for a couple of years and visit Japan and Australia as well, I would just spend a lot of it going around the world.

I would buy loads of Rare **** as well that i would probably never touch

\PJ/ 05-11-2010 01:57 PM

Cover a room in my new house designed by me in generation 3 ipod nano's because thats how much of a geek i am,and i would have my teeth whitened.

Matt 05-11-2010 01:57 PM

I'd buy TiBB :p

Lee. 05-11-2010 01:58 PM

I'd build my dream house.. An American style with a covered verandah the length of it, with a lovely swing on it.

Z 05-11-2010 02:00 PM

I'd go travelling with my family and friends; pay off my family's bills and probably donate some of it to charity.

_Seth 05-11-2010 02:00 PM

I'd buy a really nice modern house in a nice place, go on a spree and get a laptop, PS3, 360, Wii, new TV etc, give some to my family and join a really nice gym.

Miss Ivy Balls 05-11-2010 02:08 PM

Also, I'd buy Marge a house.

Get her the proper help she needs.

MTVN 05-11-2010 02:08 PM

Probably spend about £500,000 on a house, that would leave me just over 60k a year to live off I think so I reckon I'd do some travelling and then just settle down by the time I'm 25 and do ****** all for the rest of my life.

ILoveTRW 05-11-2010 02:09 PM

Invest in property, Move to America and spend a little on myself.

I would like to go to new york and LA aswell.

MissKittyFantastico 05-11-2010 02:14 PM

Buy a holiday home in Florida, or just move there, or somewhere in America.
Help my family and friends out.
Car, clothes, the usual stuff like that.
Probably donate a large amount, at least £500,000 to a cancer charity.

She is going down hill love.

Such a cause for concern.

She is still sleeping at the end of my bed. She looks like a Buddha with her crossed legs. Gives me such a fright when I cake up in the night.

Bless her.

I noticed her behaviour changing ever since that bitch in Primark attacked her just because Marge wouldn't give her that bra she wanted.

ILoveTRW 05-11-2010 02:17 PM

I'd have my house in San Diego and then a holiday home in Colorado.

Yeah, I'd like a house there as well, it's a great place.

BB_Eye 05-11-2010 02:50 PM

Set some money aside for university (God knows I'll need it) so that I won't have to take out any student loans.

Buy all the music I want, I'll probably never run out of music to buy and an excellent audio set up with a good quality LP player, AV receiver and all the other bells and whistles. Get a private tutor to teach me French, German and Italian. Get me and my family the best private healthcare I can find. Get a nice flat in Central London while I'm studying and eventually settle down in Paris and run my own late night coffee house. I would buy a hybrid car while I'm still in the UK so I don't have to put up with Britain's obscenely useless public transport.

Of course I'd love to travel the world with Mr. Right which I doubt I'm alone on that one, although obviously there will be more danger of people only interested in you for your money. :(

A 3D TV, high-end PC, high speed broadband, a lossless audio set-up with 7.1 channel speakers, a Blackberry and a 64gb iPod Touch would all be pretty kewl, but not a priority.

There is obviously a lot of money I would spend on my family and on supporting various charities, but I won't go into it. Talking about money is vulgar enough without talking about how generous you think you are.

AJ. 05-11-2010 02:54 PM

Traveling, help my family/friends out, put a mil in the bank & give the rest away.

Boothy 05-11-2010 02:57 PM

Pay off my parents mortgage, buy a flat in the centre of Birmingham and move out.

Go and buy loads of music, DVDs, new iPod, TV, sound system, laptop etc.

Learn to drive and buy a new car

Spend 1 year traveling the world once I'm finished with college then start University in 2012.

See if I can be bothered to get a job after that, and if I can't then live off the interest for the rest of my life.

Jack_ 05-11-2010 03:14 PM

With £5M I'd:

- Buy a nice, big, modern house in a good location [with a pool, games room/bar, cinema room etc etc]
- Modern furniture
- Give £1M to my parents, £25K to each of my four siblings
- Go on a few holidays

With £100M [which is what I'd prefer and would be more excited to win]:

- Buy a nice, big, modern house in three/four countries. Make them all pretty much identical [pool, games room/bar, cinema room etc etc]
- Hire staff [cooks, cleaners, security guards etc] and pay them off the interest I'd be making
- Buy my parents a similar house [or alternatively just give them a couple of million to buy what they want]
- Give all four siblings £1M each
- Alternatively to all of that, buy an entire street out in a nice location where all my family + friends could live
- Some holidays, luxuries etc
- Then sit on my arse for the rest of my life, throwing parties every day
- Most importantly, enjoying never having to walk into a shop counting how much I'm spending

Smithy 05-11-2010 03:33 PM

Contact Burim ;)

Shaun 05-11-2010 04:24 PM

Travel ****loads.

Does anyone else think about this a lot? It's so depressing once you've finished the fantasy :(

Beastie 05-11-2010 04:28 PM

Keep the money in a safe place. Go on holiday.. when I come back.. I will decide what to do with the money.

I will probs buy a house, give my mum and dad some money, some to the rest of the family. Give a bit to charity.

I will by myself cds, dvds and shizz. A new car.

I would still go to work if I won 5 million.

Novo 05-11-2010 04:30 PM

Life is so **** when you think about it. 5 million and all most of us want are CD's and DVD's

Pretty much living as I do now. Sadooooo.

I will just be more inclined to actually buy cds instead of downloading illegally.

Mystic Mock 05-11-2010 04:43 PM

send about £100,000 to charity,and buy loads of games.

I'm easily pleased :laugh: I don't think I'd really want the mansions and fast cars though. I'd rather live comfortably with leg room to spend.

Captain.Remy 05-11-2010 05:05 PM

500,000 to travel/have fun. First place I'd go is Mexico. I'd rest on a very, very lost beach, alone, to think about things. Then go to Las Vegas with friends and to Thailand with my girlfriend.

500,000 to share between mum, dad and my 2 sisters.
2 millions to buy a nice flat/house.
2 millions resting in the bank.

Jessica. 05-11-2010 05:14 PM

Well I have told people I would buy them stuff if I became a millionaire so I would buy the stuff I said I would and my mother a house. Idk what I would do with the rest. :tongue:

Edit: I would give money to a hospice in my city and to a scool near my house.

GiRTh 05-11-2010 05:28 PM

Invest it.

Yeah, that would be me. I want to live in Italy so bad. Beautiful cities, incredible history and art, great food, public transport that WORKS and generally happy, healthy people who don't moan all the time mostly because they have less to moan about.

Plus 24 hour cafes >>>> crowded pubs full of louts that close at 11pm.
