What would you do with a lottery win?

[tootles]

I'd stay here forever.

Build a snazzy pool.
Use oak instead of pine for the house rebuilding.
Not have to worry about health cover from Jan 2009.
Pay for everyone I love to visit.
Landscape the garden properly.
Pay for the pylon next door to be put underground.
Buy my sister a smallholding.

If my numbers came up (would help if I did it occasionally)

Make sure all that were close could live without money worries

Buy the house next door to my parents so I could keep an eye (house is for sale), then build my own close by

Leave this country forever

Find something to stimulate and occupy my mind

I think something around the 10 million would suit me nicely and my dad can have his yacht

[Headfry]

I would like about 10mil too.
sort family, buy house next door
BUY A LIFEBOAT I would sooo love to do that!
buy leasons in things, painting, nature,
rally driving (oh did I really say that tee hee)

Once we would dream of a million and that would sort all our wishes but these days you need about 10 million....just goes to show!

[HayleyB]

I suppose I ought to start doing the lottery then, and if I did win I'd have a long hard think about it..........

[SlugLobber]

I'd retire and keep rescued kitties, horses, chooks, that sort of thing, on a small-holding. I'd have a bit of land with just enough to keep me self-sufficient and I'd be a hobby farmer and do all that Women's Institute stuff! OH would be allowed a patch for even more lorries and lots of old tractors (thus losing the taxable money) and I'd have a vintage fire engine to cruise the streets with! Some would go on a house for Mumsie, some would be given to various charities and some invested as a nest egg, plus a bit in a high interest account for any nippers I have.

Oh and my house would be self-sufficient, with solar panels, the odd turbine and heated in the log-cabin way. It would have a big sign at the entrance, with two fingers up at the Prime Minister. So ner!

Well I'm in training, I am already mad and eccentric, all I need now is some dosh so I can become reclusive.

[Headfry]

Like your style sluglobber!

They say that lottery winners become depressed and paranoid. Why is that?

[MrsC]

I'd like to help a few people a bit like that Secret Millionaire programme.

[Finedon.Dandy]

Leave this country forever

Leaving Enfield would be a start! Best thing I ever did!

rally driving (oh did I really say that tee hee)

If you are so used to having something to do, and having meaning to what and why you do something. It must be very difficult to all of a sudden have, no reason to get up in the morning, other than to get up.

I think I would struggle to give up work as I really enjoy the banter, I don't think I could be a stay at home dad, there would have to be a purpose, objective, to strive for so I would definately struggle to adjust to a different way of life.

Are you saying then that us stay at home Mums dont have a "purpose, objective, to strive for "? Mikey I am disgusted with you!
