£123,000,000 !

[chartpolski 25,531]

Just checked my lottery ticket, ( no luck, again), and I see some lucky person in the UK has won £123 million !

Got me thinking what I'd do with such a huge amount of money

I live in a modest, three bed detached house that's more than enough for me and the missus, and have great neighbours who all look out for each other, so would I move ? Not sure.

People say " you could travel wherever you want", I've already travelled everywhere I wanted, and still can, so that wouldn't bother me. Maybe that trip to Everest Base Camp I've allways promised myself.

What about my dogs, allotments , poultry ? I get great enjoyment out of them, would I give them up and move ? Again, not sure.

Cars ? Probably upgrade to a Range Rover or something like that, but not interested in "super cars", would probably kill myself !

So, what would I do with all that dosh ? 

Id see my family and a couple of close friends alright.

Probably buy a villa in Dubai for my daughter in law and grandson and make sure they were set for life.

A million each for four cancer charities; McMillians, Marie Currie, St. Oswalds, and "Daft As A Brush", a charity that transports kids with cancer and their families back and forth to hospital for their treatment.

Of course, once I saw all that money in my bank, I might think completely different ! !

Its nice to dream, though !

Cheers.

its a good question and one a lot of us probably pondered over...

i know i would be giving a bit to family and friends ...im the same not really in to cars ....but like you i like the range rover ..but not the new model......

we also live in a place  we love 3 bed detached cottage ...in a beautiful little village....so im not sure we would move....kids would be set for life of course ....

i said last time we did this thread and i still feel the same.....theres a charity that sends doctors around the world helping people and particular kids in the 3rd world that have deformity's particularly facial deformity's....watched a docu about it many years ago ....     would like to help something like that....

I'd buy a nice place in the Highlands,couple of thousand acres, with a few salmon beats ,shooting and put them to work..move my old mother into a granny annexe with us,my Oldman and step mother the other side..buy my brother's and sisters a place each...help out a mate or 2....I'd buy one of them new MK1 escort's them Welsh lads are knocking out....buy a bolt hole with a cabin in Canada/Alaska and spend the winter months trapping

I’d have a bit of fun with it no doubt, and make sure my nearest and dearest didn’t have to worry about money again and experienced a bit of luxury.
I’m ‘only’ 49, not sure I’m ready for a retirement lifestyle. The thing I’ve always thought I would do if my numbers came up is set up some kind of ‘second chance’ thing for young offenders, to get them on the ‘straight and narrow’.
I reckon in every generation millions of capable and resourceful young folks, who through no fault of their own are brought up in shitty environments, live a life of unfulfilled potential. I think the satisfaction of being able to give others a leg up, and watch them build a proper life for themselves, and steer clear of the crime, drugs, cemetery etc. ,would give me a bigger buzz than driving any car, or having an extra 20 rooms in my house.

Indoor pool, snooker table, track day car & bike, pads all over the world, harem, library, take up new hobbies, skiing, twitching, karting, I'd even try a vegan diet to see if it really works.

Just checked my numbers, two main numbers and a lucky star.  So, with the £4 I've won, I an I is aaaksin Iself 'what can I do with that'?
