Default If you won £56 million you would..
lose every friend you have now.

You could not keep them. Even if you gave them money you would soon have so little in common with them they would drift away.

Would you trade them?

I'd keep it to myself to be honest with you. Never openly admit to winning that kinda money. Hard to keep a secret of it mind you.

I think I am with you. I would keep it to myself, there are money obsessed people out there. Well I would definately want to give some to my mum and dad.. but if I won that kind of money I would not want to be plastered on the news.

I would want to travel the world with the money though, buy cds and dvds and buy a small house. (Would not want a big one because it would take ages cleaning and I don't want a cleaner invading my privacy) I would also buy a voltswagon hippy van! Sorted

Speak for yourself, LT. Although I would jump country straight away it is possible to keep friends.

I really wouldn't live that differently, rather use the money for lots of little things. I couldn't care for mansions and sports cars but the idea of being able to buy ten DVD's a day and all the classic guitars I want appeals to me quiet a lot.

I wouldn't change my lifestyle, rather use my fortune as an on tap supply of free money to supplement my existing lifestyle.

Basically this, If I had that amount of Money I'd get myself a Laptop and a Ps3 and that'd be it for the moment. I like my life how it is so I wouldn't change anything apart from the little things.

Same here.
The only major expense that I would do is buy me and my partner our own place, because we both really want one but it looks like we'll have to house-share for a few more years.

Otherwise, I'd just use it to be able to get all concert tickets, CDs/DVDs, food etc that I want.

Most of my mates probably wouldn't care tbh, I'd be quite open with it and happily pay for their drinks when we go clubbing and stuff. They're the sorta people who can't bear not to pay you back so I doubt they'd let me anyway.

Money doesn't buy happiness.... I'm with Stu,I'd buy a house sure but I'd just spend the rest on loads of TopShop clothes and Take That concerts. You need your friends.

Cliché and soppy I know, but I'd donate most of it to charity. I'm living fine how I am right now.

Yeah I would donate some to charity too and save some! 56 million is a hell of a lot! However I think some of my friends or family will be over me like a leach if I said I won that kind of money.. will have to be careful.

You couldn't hide winning that amount of money! You would be tempted to buy the finer things in life - you wouldn't be able to help yourself! That amount of money would take over anyone's life - however much they thought it wouldn't!

Nope.. I would not want to buy massive big fancy things.. I think some of my family would want to do that though.

You'd be surprised though. I'm sure it's easier to keep under wraps than you suspect.
