for that Euromillions winning lottery ticket.

So what would you do with £45Million?

[Borlotti]

That is such an easy question to answer, have already decided. 1 million each to children, brother and sister, and my best friend. (and best frend is not anyone on A4 so don't get too excited). Then I only have 40 million left, pay off my overdraft (only £100), give most to charity, and buy a house with a big garden (probably have to employ a gardener) and invest some for my old age.  Not much hope of winning as didn't buy a ticket.  Can't understand people that say they wouldn't want to win loads of money, if you don't want it give it away, plenties of charities would be glad of it.

I agree with you Borlotti I personally don't want a shed load of money but would love to win it to give away.Even quiet gifts to people you don't know but could use it.I bet there are an awful lot of "relatives and old friends "who crawl out from under stones if you do win,I always remember a cousin who I hadn't seen for years who dropped in to stay with us unnannounced-we'd just bought a large house by the sea >:(She did this several times but when we bought a smaller place she stopped calling ;)

Wine, women, song, fast cars, floating gin palace, holidays. They would do to start with. Probably squander the rest.

[lorna]

More or less same as Borlotti, only thing is I have such a large family I would probably end up broke lol Ah! Just read Ace's post must save enough for a sports car (at my age?) late husband tried twice at auction to buy me one but if he set his mind on a price he wouldn't budge and they went over his price!!!

[Obelixx]

Fix the house, put some by for Possum's future and education, travel to places we've always wanted to see and then see about how to use most of it constructively for projects I believe in such as helping poor kids and others in need etc to get the best out of life.

It would help if I bought tickets for such things I suppose.

[Borlotti]

If I had £45 million maybe, just maybe be able to emply Ace as my gardener, but think I will stick with Manuel.  ;D ;D ;D

Did I tell you my second name  is Mellors ;)

Oh don't bother with the low slung sports car Lorna. I got my wife one when she was a younger flippetygibbet. I drove it once and had to fall out the door and pull myself up to get out. Good job nobody was watching.

[Sparkly]

I would love to win money! I wouldn't even need a huge amount, just enough to not have to work and have the chance to enjoy my life. Would buy a nice house (probably abroad or at least on the south coast) with a few acres of land. Maybe employ a couple of locals to help me with this. I would then spend my time with a nice small holding enjoying the land. I would also donate money to a number of causes; most probably youth brass banding, a fund to buy sets of textbooks for the kids I (used) work with. I would probably set up and manage a private allotment site and donate any money taken in rent to charity. Then give some money to family.

[Borlotti]

Everyone wants to be able to give some away, apart from ACE.

[flowerofshona2007]

Think of all the lives you could change with that !!!
House and all the bits for us and the dogs, pay neighbours morgage off and give them some to get the house painted ect, some to brother and oh step mum, some to the Brook horse and donkey rescue in S Africa, some to water aid to give water to many, some to the lottie site and other charitys and a few web sites  ;)

[cornykev]

OK its time to come clean, I am Borlotti's secret bestest friend, now what will I spend my dosh on.  ???     ;D ;D ;D

[Unwashed]

I rarely do the lotto, but I bought 4 lines last Saturday.  One line won £10, so I invested it in 10 more lines for Wednesday.  Two of those lines won £10, so I invested that in 20 lines for tonight's.  Three of those just won £10, so I'll be buying 30 lines for Wednesday's draw...

[powerspade]

If I won the big one I would first buy a cottage in the countryside with a large south facing garden, erect a greenhouse and put up a cold frame. Then I`d see that my children were OK. The rest I would buy equipment for breast cancer at my local treatment centre

[kt.]

Limit an allowance to the missus.... the amount of shopping she does I would be skint within a year 8) 8)

[Froglegs]

If i won it ,ya would not see me arse fa dust. ;D

[caroline7758]
