Lets face it. It's all speculation because none of you are going to win.

I am!

I would buy a massive house with loads of land, build my own private race track around my land and spend about £20million on exotic cars and motorbikes. I'd give my dad £10million to start a property business up and give my mum and him £5 million just to blow. My brother and sister could have anything they wanted as long as it wasnt stuuuuuuupid and they just asked as I would have already bought them big houses and give them a massive allowance each year to live off.
I think I could quite easily waste all that money

Surely you'd have to do this at least once!

I always think of brewster's millions when I see threads like this.

Given all the people that have won huge amounts of money why have we never seen anyone fill a swimming pool with money or grapes or whatever takes their fancy? now THAT would be a news story!

I always play the normal lotto and play the euromillions for a big prize (I dunno why, I don't know what I'd do with £1million let alone 153 of them but it still seems better) but I can't comprehend that amount of cash, normal things just don't cut it. Yet investing in a future technology would soon eat up that small amount!

Don't think I'd want a massive house, I'd probably do a self build, I've always fancied one of these:

Straight out of tracey island, I'm sure I could buy a nice plot to sit it on and the planners permission to build such an odd thing
I'm not sure I'd stick around in the UK though.

TBH I would have a few plans with the first bit on money:

Pay off mortgages for a few friends and family;
Put some money in trust for when some of the friends kids reach 18 etc.....
New house, new car, new bike (nothing too splash).
Follow the cricket team round Australia or where ever they are touring next.
Buy a couple of properties to rent out etc.

That would probably leave me with £150M which I would have no idea how to spend.

Edit: Having said that there is a lock-keepers cottage near me which is shaped like a windmill that I wouldnt mind doing as a project. I'm sure I could 'lose' quite a bit of money in that.
