Default if you won the euromillions....

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?

Think I'd collect my winnings before doing a toilet on his car.
I'd give most of it away as its an obsene amount of money, though I'd keep plenty of toy money

If it was a decent wedge, I'd get the family on a plane straight out of this country and not with intention of returning, unless absolutely necessary!

How many of you have actually tried to imagine how you would react in the split seconds after finding out you had one, Lots of air punching , mad jumping and expletives

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.

Edit: haha. Posted same time as Widepants. As above!

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.
