What would you do with a lottery win?

[HybridFox]

Definitely not disclose it for a start. Wonder how many people will come out of the woodwork when they realise you've got cash

Know what you mean - absolutely no way I'd go to the papers directly but I don't see how you'd be able to keep it from friends and family and it's inevitable it gets out from there.

Possibly, but even if someone did go to the papers, you'd just deny it. Don't think they'd have much of a story then.

With £184m in the bank im not sure you'd have to worry about rental profits my man 

You can never be too careful

 

Meant for the future family generations though, I would't blow the whole lot, keep it saved or invested, live off the 50k a month rental income

[smudger63]

Depends how much i won, but if i had won the 184 million, i would have bought a new car, got my house sorted because it needs quite a bit doing to it, I`m happy where i live so wouldn`t want to move, i would have given all my family and close friends a million each, given the guys i work with 100, 000 each, and put some money into Leicestershire ccc.

Also given some money to various charities too.

I wouldn’t go public but would start to dress and act like a pimp or drug lord and keep unsociable hours. Get the neighbours talking.

Yeah fair, I would like to think the papers wouldn't make a thing of it without your consent anyway unless you were doing something dodgy, maybe your local paper would report that it was someone from the area. I meant more in terms of remaining completely anonymous and keeping it a secret. Probably not what Izzy meant tbf as surely most people would sort out their friends and family in some way and you'd have to tell them.

I've no idea why you'd choose to go public with that sort of money - maybe someone can enlighten me?

 

Imagine all the begging letters and hassle you'd receive. 

 

I reckon I'd quite enjoy the challenge of keeping it a secret and under wraps tbh 

As a giant F U to every bellend you've had cross your path I'd imagine. If you've scooped the 148mill you've got enough to help out pretty much everyone you want unless you've got a zillion friends.

 

Letters? Who the hell is opening their own mail when you've got millions. You could hire a full time secretary on £50 grand a year to filter the nonsense.

 

No point in winning that sort of money and being boring as hell with it. Invest enough to live comfortably when shit goes wrong. Spaff the rest on dumb shit until your forced to be boring or your maker shows up. Easy.

[SeCrEt FoX]

I wouldn't go public neither. I would keep my house and car and if anyone wants to pop round and see me I will simply drive from my 12 bed mansion to my old house so it looks normal. Maybe even in my work clothes to make it even more legit! Seriously though I would not go public and I would go into property and to keep me busy I'd do the houses up myself, always wanted to do it, I'd then give a couple of properties away to close friends and family (to keep their mouths closed) . I'd have a couple of cars, nothing exotic just a brand new TOTR motor and a classic and just a nice little cottage out in the sticks....... Gotta snap out of it.

Any jobs going at your place? 🤔

[Stevosevic]

I'd have a few properties around the world and would spend a lot less time in England. 

 

And I'd continue to see as much of the world as possible.

Do a lot of travelling, and not have any worries, and still watch Leicester of course

[Parafox]

Make sure my 2 daughters lives were future-proofed. They are both adopted and have real social anxiety and emotional difficulties as well as some mental health problems which makes it difficult for them to function in "normal" society. I'd buy them a house each and ensure they had all the support that my money could buy both financially and practically by setting up a trust fund for them to rely on without them blowing loads of dosh on shite by making poor decisions. Once I'd done that, knowing that they were going to be safe, I'd donate to charity, give an amount to my bro, my bro and sis-in-law  and set up a fund to secure the future for my nephews, who have recently lost their mum and have nothing. 

I like my house but I'd buy better, not necessarily bigger but somewhere away from town/city. Big houses need more maintenance. I'd deffo buy somewhere exotic to use as a getaway for us and friends to use. 

The rest can sit in a fund of some sort to gain max interest and then, given time, I can work out what to do with it.

If I won that amount, the first thing I'd do would be to vomit.

(With 184m) I'd try and invest in the Club for sure, a seat on the Board would be nice. I'd buy my home town team Hanwell Town as well and try and get them up to the Football League.

 

Realistically I'd be dead in a few years because of all the champagne and drugs...

Summed my thoughts up nicely this.

 

But seriously, before I died I would definitely turn into a mental animal rescue person. Think of Joe Exotic but with Donkeys, more teeth and less mullets.

Buy myself an Island..

Britain seems getable at the moment..

With £184 million winnings

still leave me £100 mil.

[nnfox]

With 184m I would probably set aside 7-8m to buy all the material things - houses, cars, holidays, clothes, jewellery etc.  I'd then make sure the people I care about the most were sorted.  Next I'd employ financial advisors and wealth managers to ensure an ongoing passive income could be achieved to maintain a wonderful life of freedom of choices.

 

With what's left I'd donate to charity and engage in community projects.  I'd also like to buy up some land, plant trees and allow the public to use it for recreation.

They’ll soon know when you don’t show for work on Monday and yer house is empty. They can’t get to you in the Bahamas anyway with a honnnay jiggling on your lap 😁

[Paninistickers]

1m to blow, 1m each in trust for the kids, 1m to the ex to fck off, 1m to my brother to fck off, 5m for me to live off.....the other 174m I'd invest in various pet business projects that ordinarily wouldn't be financially viable. Starting with a huge great Lido somewhere in Leicester.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

All this I'd give people deposits for a house and give myself a few million to go wild. Sod that I'm buying the 4 or 5 close family members of mine whatever house they want and giving them a good 5-8 million each, buy myself like 4 huge houses on different continents, buy a string of top class, well bred race horses to race and then send to stud, get a few nice cars and a hummer with the omen theme tune for a horn to use when I'm in a bad mood, get a few nice boats and a yacht, buy a game developer studio to make any daft ideas I have for games, put a good 5 million in each of my kids accounts to grow and give them when they're mature enough not to just blow it, and with the 100m or so that's left get a financial advisor and work out how to make a load of money. I'd never go public with it. I'd set aside a few million to use over like 10 years to help people, give a homeless person 20k here and there, send a few bright kids who've had rubbish upbringings through education. Would rather create a charity than give any to a charity as don't really trust them.

What I wouldn't do...

Throw blindly, any money put aside

for charity...

Rather...find out what clinic or hospitals need on expensive equipment, then either buy it, or pay a sum towards it,which would help them invest in that specialised equipment.

Then look at some part of social services various homes or caterer services,,to pay also towards equipment....

ditto for Medicines Sans Frontier..

Many years ago While doing Engineering..projects I did VSO on my vacation,helped repair simple equipment,or install long time sitting equipment.I would buy & follow equipment investment, plus basics like 

Medicine/clothing shortage & derlvery thereof..

Buy a couple of rescue / medicine Helicopters...

 

For me... Find carers who would travel with me,& my wife...

Buy a Small not big, fitted out 4x4 expeditions reisemobile...Not buy a yacht,but rent one occasionally.mooring cost & Insurance are expensive..

 

See close family secure..

 

Invest...why bother..!!

Although I would silently support a good business idea(s),

but I would do the finding & choosing.

 

Put a wanted contract on Putin & his 10  nearest cronies contacts .

[Bayfox]

Depends if ww are talking the sort of cash they won, I'd move to ibiza, have about 4 cars, and probably a boat.

 

If I won anything around the 1 million mark, I'd just clear my mortgage, buy 1 nice car and stick the rest in the bank, invest maybe.

 

If I won anything less than 100k I'd still just by a nice car and have to accept I'm gonna have to keep paying my mortgage as to me that sum isn't life changing and have 1 or 2 really expensive holidays with the family to make some memories we probably couldn't without it.

I would say the donkey has the most mullet hairstyle of the animal kingdom tbh. Although I agree, they have more teeth than Mr Exotic. 
 

So your plan is to have people come and get their picture taken with ferocious baby donkeys - and then kill said donkeys to replace them with more baby donkeys?

 

That is mental.
