What would you do first? How would you set the ball rolling for the events leading to the rest of your life?
Obviously first you'd punch your boss in the face, do a toilet on his car and then go to collect you winnings.
But then what? Most people seem to want to go on holiday?
Edit: no I haven't won it..... or have I?

I won the other day.....was like £2 or something, however if i won big, i would start a housing empire :P Just buy loads to rent, go traveling with all my mates, buy 10's of cars/bikes/quad bikes and get drunk every night for a month. Also prob get some boats/yachts helicopter lessons/plane lessons.....

The first thing I'd do after confirming I'd won it quietly walk downstairs (currently upstairs in my office). I'd then take off all my clothes, and stand there with my arms outstretched and fists clenched and basically do the "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" type thing in utter silence apart from a mild gurgle coming from my throat. Then after my epic introverted naked celebration, I'd make a cup of tea and have a hobnob.
After that, no idea. Naked introverted celebration is all I can think of.

I would give some small amounts to family and very close friends of Lily and I to ensure that they never had to worry about money again, but with the caveat this is a one time offer.
I would buy a place in London (nothing swanky, just a nice modest 2 bed apartment), place up here in West Midlands - probably a 4 bed house with a large garden. Buy a couple of cars and a bike.
I would stick a largish sum in bank account to live happily off for rest of my days. I would then stick another large sum into a trust account to be paid out to any dependants I may have in the future or to my next of kin upon my death.
The remainder I would then give to charity.
I would then spend the rest of my days travelling the world with Lily visiting all the places that we wanted to see and doing all we wanted to do. If I got bored and wanted work, would probably do charity work.

I have discussed this many times with loads of friends and work colleges, so, as you can imagine, I am never going to win, but, if I did here is my plan;
If the value is greater than £100mil the first half would go to the likes of Help For Heros, cancer charities and childs charities.
The, of the remaining 50%; 12.5% would go to my parents for the fact they raised me, 6.25% to my brother, 6.25% to my best-friend and his fiancée, then a 10% stake to close family.
That would leave 15% of the winnings for me, which would be a house with lots of land, a race-track of my design, many many track bikes and a few go karts for a laugh. Then I would find some way of investing it so I could live off the interest and just enjoy like.
If the value was below 100mil it is pretty much the same just some of the values wouold be less

Well my brother father in law Black Jack (Yes he originates from the Caribbean) had a life changing lottery win some years ago.
He took the cheque to his bank to deposit it saying to the girl on the desk that he would like to take the trailing £800 as the wife would like to do a bit of shopping.
Sorry sir you need to wait until it has cleared. GET ME THE F***ING Manager who on seeing the cheque suggest he might like to take a couple of grand.
So what did he do. Invested with a turf accountant.
The rest he had a house built in his native St Vincent, bought his council house that had been adapted for his spina bifida son. Dumped the wife and sodded off back to the sun. He now has a couple of lady friends half his age, A good pension, plenty of local white rum and a big smile.

First thing I'd do is go go into work with envelopes some would have cash in them and an invite to a free night of beverages. Others would have a picture of me flicking the bird and the words 'get it right up ya' on it, people would know who I like and who I didn't very quickly... Then I'd get myself to the doctor and get signed off with stress to get my 6 months full pay off my work...
I'd see my family alright.
Once that had been sorted, I'd start looking for architects to build me a house, nothing big, but the garage would be rather large to fit in all the toys I'd be buying. The list of bikes I would buy scares me. there aren't enough days in the week!
I've also promised some of my friends certain things and those promises would be upheld, I think a few of them would be surprised when they receive things as we haven't talked in a while. One of those promises was I'd pay for a track day for the Org and the travel to the track, Mugello anyone?

Most of the money would go into a bank account so we could live off the interest.
I'd then do what Gav said but I would also open the ferret rescue again on a much bigger scale.
Carry on as if nothing has changed at work and the moment someone gave me any crap just smile and walk out never to return.
Or walk into the managers office with this playing on a laptop while dacing on the spot... then moonwalk out of the office.

I'd get my pilots license, and a MIG 21 or other old ish fighter.
I know exactly how I'd tell my folks. I'd buy a 230sl or a DB7 (my dad always wanted one) and just rock up at their house in it and give them a box which had the keys, and the deets for a bank account with enough that they don't have to think about the money again.
If I'd won the £120 mill on Saturday I'd stop working w'ends and silly hours.;)
The kids would get £10mill each, leaving £60 mill. A nice house in the sun + several bikes and cars and bank about £5mill to produce a monthly income. That would probably leave £50 mill.
Give the rest away. What would I need £50mill for?
As for punching the boss; he's a great guy, and very supportive of his staff. He's get a decent holiday out of it.

Dont you think the org should have its lottery pot ? I would happily put £2 in everyweek and whom ever wins we all share ? Only the ones that pay . Great idea! More chances of winning . But less earnings
Assuming you trust everyone? But then you could just create a syndicate so its not down to 1 individual to share it (just to have the money and purchase it)

Then I'd buy a place near the Alps & one in the Pyrenees, plus one in Germany close to my wife's family.
I'd have a selection of bikes & pushbikes to ride in each place
I'd give some to my local Air Ambulance
I'd organise a concert by my favorite artist, I'd pay his fee and donate the profits to lots of charities.
I'd go to all of his concerts, I know I wouldn't get fed up
I'd send postcards to all the ones I didn't give any money to, with me pictured with a different gorgeous woman in a skimpy swim suit in each exotic location my money was taking me to :D
i would live happily ever after.
no giving to charity but would consider starting a good cause for the kids around here and where ever i decided to move to.
if it was possible to get my wife sorted i would spend every single penny on doing it. if not then 24/7/365 care for her.
set my kids up for the rest of their life
i would wander around the world till i got board then come home.

Do up the house they way I've always wanted including a lap pool. Enlarge the garage, buy more bikes. Trust funds for the kids that I'd keep secret. Pay all my mates mortgages off and give them some play money. Keep my job and think about things for a year- I'd go nuts it I didn't work even though I'm only part time. But really, holidays and travel would be my thing but to be honest we have "enough" money as we have always been careful and our mortgage is paid off when I'm 46 in two years, so though it would be nice I'm very content.
I always wonder what you'd feel like if you could just do anything- but I don't know if I'd enjoy it as much as working towards things, you'd lose a lot of excitement in life, I think. Would you look forward to stuff as much any more or would it all become a bit samey? I'd also give a good chunk to my favourite charities, and donate to causes that I admire. There's a lot of very unhappy rich people about- who still want more money, I kinda feel you'd live your life in a bubble and if people knew it'd be hard making new friends.

I'm trying to get our syndicate at work to blow out £300 kitty on tomorrows draw..... It just sits there and builds up unless we get a big win so I'm all for chucking it back at the lottery. Unfortunatly some of them are tight and don't want their portion thrown back in and rules say we can't without them...
5% share of £133m would do me fine. Although if i did win the whole thing:
New house for mom & dad, new car for dad;
3 friends I'd pay morgages off for;
5 kids between them would each get, say £20k in trust until 18 if they go to uni, or 21 if not.
Start building / renovating a place (theres a lock keepers cottage that a bit quirky - i.e. it looks more like a windmill).
And thats where I get stuck... There would certainly be some hefty charitable donations, but I don't know how I'd divide it up, and I don't know how I'd leave work (although I would) - maybe cover the cost of living increase for those that I like (there haven't been any rises since '07).

I think it was Peter Jones who had a great idea to stop his kids being lazy and just spending his cash.
Basically he'd pay them something like twice their salary so if they chose not to work they got nothing but if they worked hard they got loads. If you did a "socially worthwhile" job then the rate was doubled again to encourage them to be something other than management consultants or similar.
I thought that came across as a well thought way to give them the benefit of his zillions without his kids becoming work-shy posh knobs.

1) Bung ten million in an investment account, that should be enough to live on for the rest of my days.
2) Give a million each to selected friends and family so they can afford to make their lives into something that makes them happy.
3) Spend a couple of years travelling around the world seeing all the places I've always wanted to visit. Hopefully in the company of some of the folks in item 2) from time to time.
4) If there's money left, buy a huuge chunk of rainforest and employ guards to keep the loggers and miners out.
5) Volunteer to work as a project photographer for the WWF or similar environmental charity, and make occasional anonymous donations where I think it would make a real difference.

On hearing I'd won, tell no one until the money was in my many accounts.
Once in I'd work my notice and e sure my gaffer had the cover I'd also repay him all the wages he'd paid me after taking the chance on me in the first place.
I'd see everyone I cared about was hooked up with enough to see them right but not so much that they could think about distributing it themselves (maybe pay off mortgages and buy cars and a good holiday).
I'd build and open a garage/cafe/bar/venue and employ friends to basically enjoy it with me whilst tinkering on what we please.
I'd give some to certain charities I think do good work, but I'd also put a lot into my local area and see if I can't instil a bit of local pride.
Travel
Build a large yet also modest house in secluded grounds and try to bring my kids up still with values perhaps lost on most rich kids.

Lets say for the sake of argument I won £100million.
I'd go mad. I'd buy a fair few houses. I'd buy two massive houses next door to eachother and give one to my best friend so I can hang out with her all the time!!
I'd buy a helicopter and plane and a super yacht. Pretty much spend most of my time on the super yacht sailing around the world for the first bit.
Give a load to me and the wifes family. Sort them out.
I'd buy my bosses business off him, he'd probably retire and I'd get a few good guys in the industry I know to run it. Not for profit just for ****s n giggles, profit would be a bonus.
I would also fund/run a BSB or WSB team
I'd try and buy an island too.
Just off the top of my head that though.
Would also buy most of it on finance. Keep the hundred million in the bank and use the interest to pay the loans.
If I won £1m I would buy a £300,000 house and keep the rest in the bank and spend the interest. I would keep working too.

Peter jones has a good idea about keeping his kids grounded with regards to money.

I don't really know what would happen to me. I would like to think it wouldnt change be but I suspect it would without me realising it.
First thing once I had the money would be to hand in my notice at work, I'd then spend the rest of my time avoiding doing anything that felt like work or made me feel stressed.
I'd pay off the mortgage on our house. Get it done up so it was suitable for renting out and then get it rented out. So we always had an income. Or something to fall back on.
Mum & Dads mortage is paid off. My brothers would be paid off and they'd get a big lump to provide for their future. I would setup trust funds for my nephew and niece and ensure that Liz's family were looked after as well.
Then we'd be buying ourselves a property in Sligo and getting that how we want it and of course somewhere here as well.
Nothing to huge, something discreet. But with ample parking, decent garden, guest rooms. Big garage and a bike room for our pushbikes and motorbikes to.
Once I'd been in the Porsche dealer and bought a 911, also the Audi dealer for a RS6 Avant and the Land Rover Dealer for a Range Rover and a Defender I think I would be sorted car wise.
As for bikes, I like my GSXR and that would stay, but with something exotic to accompany it, probably a MV of some description.
Several Damn good holidays, a cruise or two.
I'd put money into this place so that we never ever ever have to ask for advertising to keep the site running.
I dont really know after that, worlds your oyster isnt it. Money gives you options...
Just not having to go to work ever again to be honest would be the biggest thing I could ever hope for.
-build my Zombie proof house/bunker
-load up the weapons bay
-build a massive garage, with a flat above it
-fill garage with a selection of bikes, cars & women
-drink, lots
-see the world
and a few other bits.
Doesn't matter anyway as I've just got my ticket and it's definitely time I won something so you lot carry on dreaming and in six months or so I'll let you know what I did with my winnings. Although chances are first thing will be a fork service for the thou :)

I'd be dead within three years from drink and drug abuse...
I would have said one year but with that kinda money I could afford some decent medical care and some nice organs from the Chinese black market. Michael Jacksons ex doctor need not apply...
Probably live in hotels around the world for the first year, buying or renting bikes to get about on in foreign while I'm away.
When I'd had enough of that, build a reasonable sized 3 bedroom house on a large plot with a 500 bike underground garage with a fully equipped workshop with one of those really flash Snap-On workbenches with tool storage all the way round.
Bikes would be plentiful. The first ones I'd buy would be three RC30 Hondas - one absolutely original and immaculate, two used but good. The original one I'd leave unridden, one of the used ones would be my regular transport and the other would have the full trackbike treatment with a Tony Scott engine tune etc. The rest would be a collection of the weird and wonderful bikes I've owned and those I fancy. I doubt I'll keep any of them long as I get bored with most bikes rather quickly... except the RC30s, they'd have to stay forever.
Cars - E-Type Series 1 4.2 FHC in red and an Audi RS6 Avant would be all I'd want.
Cocaine and hookers would be plentiful, even though I've never done either in the past - it;s the done thing for the filthy rich.
The rest I'd waste.

Ok I've been pondering this for a while now, here's the basics.
Firstly, do the usual, sort family out with some cash.
Travel, a lot, I'd go loads of different places, maybe a round the world trip by bike.
I'd certainly do all Europe by bike.
Once I'd got back, I will buy lots and lots of land, enough to run a bikers campsite, with lodges and pods for non campers.
Off road course on the land, all facilities for this.
Reasonable house on the land for me and wifey, huge garage and numerous outbuildings, probably get about 10-15 bikes.
Aston martin DBS, blinged up land rover defender, range rover, huge American pick up.
AC cobra, ariel atom v8 for track days, probably fund a upcoming bike racer in a national race series or something too.
Buy plenty of nice watches, especially a breitling.
Fully kit out a workshop with a cnc miller, lathe, various welders etc
I'd certainly treat my mates to some expensive gifts too.
That's about it for now :)

Pick up a few pounds a month from the Euro, and about £30 a yr from the Lotto. Probably about £500 - never had more than 3 numbers

Lets see...
I'd buy all the debts of family and mates, make sure there were set for future. My family could have whatever they want.
I'd then get myself healty and fit whatever takes without that whats the point of having money?
Set up investments planning for the long term.
I would buy some land and set about building my own home. Once thats underway I'd pack a bag and go backpacking around the world, then decide where else I want a house/flat.
I'd set up free press newspaper, web site ect that actually reported the news.
Set up a foundation for science, arts and human development, bringing the best people togther to make a better future.
I have no idea about what cars, bikes ect I'd buy an idea of my dream bike and owning one are very different things I'd have to go test ride them to know what I want. Then I would get custom made eqipment for all my hobbies, then set about enjoying myself keeping true friends close so I don't become a nob a huge amount of money can be negative if used for the wrong reasons.
if you won the big one and spend £10k a day it would take you 41 years (excluding interest) to spend your winnings.

Brewsters millions.....what happens if dobbin keeps winning
As predicted I won!
4 numbers alas across two lines but still almost a fiver.
I've decided not to let it change my life but instead put it to good use to secure my future so I will be re-investing it next week.

Now as to what I would do. I would quietly get a cab home, pick up my passport and get a cab to Camelot and pick up my cheque specifying under no circumstances is there to be any publicity. I'd the pop down the bank drop the cheque in and arrange a 100000 loan until it clears. I'd then jump back in the same cab and get the nearest airport and get a flight to the 5th destination Olathe departures board. I would also arrange fir some tickets ti be left at the ticket desk for a select few and.family members... I would text those people to let them know. The rest I would plan when I arrive. 6 months later return afyer the dust has died down along with said friends and family.

I'd probably be very boring about it, stop whatever I was doing, straight on a train to collect said winnings and proceed to visit several motorbike/car/push bike dealers and purchase all the toys I could ever possibly have need of.
Then book a ****e load of track days out of the country most likely, invite a few mates, and go have a laugh whilst planning how to spend the rest of it without killing myself in 2 years.
I'd buy a disused Airport and turn it into a track day place for us lot.
