Euro Jackpot- How Would You Spend It?

Recommended Posts

Posted

I'd pay off my house, buy another decent one somewhere to live whilst renting the other out. I'd send my family away on a massive holiday somewhere.

I'd take all the lads to Brazil next year assuming we qualify.

I'd take my PPL to eventually become a commercial airline pilot. I'd also get a helicopter and license giving a new meaning to travelling on football away days!

How would you?

I think I'd continue at Uni (as an achievement in my life) and have my current plans of eventually starting my own business. With the money, it would be a quicker process as well.

 

Get rid of my corsa and buy a new car. Probably buy my dad a new car as well.

 

Definitely treat the family to a trip to New York. First class on Virgin.

 

Wouldn't go crazy, quite sensible with money anyway, but I've always wanted my own Routemaster Bus (love my busses) and one of those whippy Ice Cream machines.

Posted

Take a few friends to Vegas and splash out on a new car and house for me and the better half.

 

After I'd splurged a little (give some to family etc), stick enough of it in a high interest account so I could live off it and pursue a writing career. The rest I'd probably support a charity with.

You wouldn't go with them? :P

 

I don't know how big the jackpot is, but if we're talking one of those £100+ million hauls then I'd:

- Buy a nice big house in rural Leicestershire somewhere.

- Buy 2 cars: a sporty supercar, and a luxary saloon.

- Then quit my job, and do everything I'd love to do but can't afford. Go around the world, go to every Leicester away game, go to gigs, go to F1 races etc.

- Give close friends and family a few hundred k each (depends on jackpot size). 

 

Oh, and I'd use my wealth to bed all the gold diggas in the area.

Country Estate in Surrey £10m

Apartments in New York, Sydney & Monaco to start with £6m

Home in Perth WA £2M

Massive boat circa £10m

Selection of luxury cars £2m

Homes for my family £5m

Holiday island somewhere maybe?  What do they cost?

Home in Cornwall £1m

 

And all the travel and fun buying and kitting these out, taking along whatever family and friends feel like coming.

 

The other £100m into a varied portfolio of assets, some of which would be in trust for my kids.

I'd Sell my business, by a focus RS stick a few clothes in it and fcuk off to Cornwall, buy a nice house with 3 garages, for my RS, Lambo and F430.

Sit and do fcuk all for 6 months. Dish out a million each to my close mates and relatives.

Then decide what business to open down there, maybe a surf shack or cafe, just to fill the time.

Then have a few decent holidays every year of the interest and send the kids to private school if they wanted to go.

I've always though to myself if I won that sort of money I would rather have a house custom built rather than buy somewhere. Don't know why just always appealed to me

How much we talking of winning?

My friends brother won £1.9 million on the lottery 2/3 years ago and the first thing he did was buy a box at Leicester.

£157,000,000? Don't think I'd be bothered about renting a place out!

 

I think I'd tour around Australia and America for a few months each to look for the most ideal place to live, then I'd get a mansion and get a few of the following:

Would get everything I and my missus wanted, give a few million to my family and friends, maybe start up an animal sanctuary, holiday all over the place. Obviously keep some for the future but I'd go nuts for a while. Would aim to have some sort of job to keep myself sane but not the one I'm in now - if I got a message I'd won that sort of money while I was at work I'd be going that mental that I'd probably be escorted out of the building quicker than I'd be able to calm down enough to tell the boss I'm leaving

It really would be incredibly easy to keep yourself busy if money was no object - you really wouldnt need to work.  You could become a philantropist, and support lots of charitable organisations and get involved in ensuring your money was well spent for a start.

I'd spend the next few years going to every major sporting event possible. I'd travel the world playing every golf course I wanted to. I'd put £500,000 behind the bar in Ark Bar, Koh Samui and stay there until i'd spent it all. Then i'd go home buy the local boozer that most of my cretinous mates drink in, knock it down and watch the uproar unfold.

Blow the whole lot in 5 years on an orgy of iniquity then write a book about it providing I'm still alive.

Give a silly amount to my sisters, mum and dad, and then a bit more to extended family and mates. Finish my degree and then go travelling around the world and see where I end up. I'd buy a huge house in California as well overlooking the Pacific, amazing view with amazing girls about. Probably donate a tenner to foxestalk as well if I had the time ;)

First I'd give a bit to my parents and close family so they could live a good lifestyle for the rest of their lives without working.

 

I'd give them a bit more so they could go travelling wherever they liked.

 

I'd go travelling with my mates, anywhere and everywhere.

 

Get a house in the Orlando area and live there for a few months on and off.

 

Get a load of tailor made suits, in different colours, like the Tony Montana ones. And several Fedora's in different colours, Godfather-esque. And of course at least one pair of genuine spats, can't forget those. And I'd order plenty of cuban cigars. You've got to look the part, you know?

 

Also I'd buy a drivers licence (you can go to Napoli and get one from the Mafia for less than a grand) and get a fairly decent car. In the interest of looking the part, I'd like something 70s Gangsters used to drive. I wouldn't get a load of them though. And my own driver to chauffer me round would be cool.

 

Buy a night club and strip club. I'd be a hands on owner (especially when it comes to the strip club if y'know what I mean ;) ). I'd aim to make them my kind of clubs - quirky, fun, flashing disco lights, none of this shit brap brap popular music like they have at shitholes like Republic, more old style stuff of all genres. The bouncers would be firm with dickheads but fair. And when it's somebody's birthday and they tell the DJ he'd have to play the full 15 minute version of Rapper's Delight. It would be amazing.

 

But the thing I'd most like to do with all that money is buy Leicester City Football Club. I'd do everything to transform it into the club I always wished it could be. I'd back the manager, give him funds and time. I'd renovate the stadium from a boring, ugly shithole with poor acoustics to a beautiful caludron where the stands were close to the pitch. We'd have a proper Kop, and the opposite stand would resemble the Filbo Kop. And the seats would actually be blue, not purple. And of course, all the extras - When You're Smiling would be re-recorded by Englebert and it would be played after the team was read out every home match. Goal music would be abolised save for the radio Leicester goal horn. Ticket prices would be cheaper. Fans would be treated equally. Good alcohol would be served at the ground efficiently. And all that other shit I've always complained about would be fixed.

 

Oh yeh....

Hire a good accountant to place it as far away from grasping greedy governments as possible. ;)
