Straggler Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'd get into politics. I wouldn't do it myself, just lobby using my cash and basically buy myself a few politicians. They don't actually cost all that much when you look into it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tonyh29 Posted October 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I'd keep , I dunno £30m for myself and give the rest away to family , mates , charity etc .. Setup an animal foundation protecting Sharks and Red Pandas ( well 2 foundations as I guess pandas and sharks won't really get on) And i'd pay the bagpipe player who lives near @Bicks , to play an hour long Beatles melody on the bagpipes every day . it's a nice problem to have but i reckon with the backgrounds / upbringings of me , my my mates and family it would ruin us .. its an obscene amount and hard to be comfortable having imo .. I wouldn't be against winning a million or 2 , it would change your life but not to Bruce Wayne proportions .

Big Salad Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 An Aston Martin Mansion with my own KFC in house. Put the rest in savings so can fly and see Villa whenever I feel like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted October 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'd buy a croft on the Isle of Harris and put my feet up there for a bit. When the weather got moody, I'd hop on a plane somewhere nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2021 In all seriousness it would probably be a good idea to have zero publicity and just tell people you've won a million or 2 to explain the spending away. I think a goodly portion I would give to charity. Probably invest in green energy companies and grants for people to install solar panels or something.

hogso Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I’d sit down for a week or two, and watch every episode of Grand Designs ever, and decide which single home is my favourite. I’d go to the architect and say ‘I want that, but more.’ I also quite like the idea of having some sort of business on the high, or a collection of them…video games, board games, coffee, records, books, sushi…imagine the best Waterstones ever. It would haemorrhage tens of thousands of pounds a week, but it wouldn’t matter of course. In fact, for locals or those who know it, perhaps I’d buy the Ropewalk in town and kit it out with various units like those listed above, seeing as council is doing SUCH A GREAT JOB OF THAT, YEAH I’D KICK THE JOB CENTRE OUT TOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'd create a food truck to keep me occupied. Loads of synthesisers, a pc that doesn't lag when I'm trying to use VST's. Once the money had gone through, confirmed 100%, I'd take a sledgehammer to the living room wall and clearing in the woods it in and peek my face through, manically screaming, how do you like the noise back you inconsiderate cun*s!?!

I would travel the globe in style and try as many new experiences doing so would provide. Then after things had died down a bit and the new house(s) were sorted, I'd probably focus on investing in creative projects - art galleries, bands and of course movie production. All things that would easily fill my days and give me immense satisfaction. 2 hours ago, Mandy Lifeboats said: A house in Sorrento overlooking the Bay Of Naples.

I like all of the above, and I suppose if you win the thick end of £200m you can do quite a lot of it. I think I'd probably be most interested in a] investing in companies I genuinely thought would improve people's lives, and b] investing in film productions that I actually wanted to see get made (short films and low-budget stuff, obviously not anything big). Also I'd want to build our own house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted October 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2021 Pay off the mortgage. Various jobs around the flat. Sort out friends and family. Get a good lawyer and wrest control the my flat's freehold from the current arsehole. Get me teef fixed. Help out some charities. Local/national/international. I would not buy a car. **** cars. If I absolutely need one I would hire one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 I like the idea of building a house from scratch but I just don’t have the imagination for it. Once it was finished i’d probably think of loads of things I should have done. I look at some millionaire pads and think wow, I wouldn’t be we have thought of this. I’d probably just copy someone else’s house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
