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.

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.

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.

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

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.

There was a show about it on French TV 2 months ago. It was about the biggest lottery winners and it was rather interesting to see who they told. They have orders to follow such as not telling everyone but a small group of people to keep the confidentiality in order not to get into any trouble.

To be honest, I'd of course say it to my parents and my 2 sisters then my closest closest friends I have known for ages. I think I'd do a world trip on my own, inviting my friends and family on whatever country I am in so they can enjoy themselves. I'd buy a house to my parents, pays fashion school fees to my sister and give some money to my older sister so she can raise her 2 children easily.
I'd financially help my rugby team a lot because I own everything to them and I'd open an orphanage in poor countries.

And that's it, I'd keep the rest of the money to buy a nice car and buy an amazing house in UK or Switzerland.

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

no chance

and doing that creates even more disharmony as people start to think, hang on they must have won/inherited money and not told anyone

I wouldn't drastically change my life, I'd keep the money a secret and just improve things bit by bit. Big houses and sports cars are for people who feel the need to prove something.
