What would you do if you won the lottery?

[Adam McKeitch]

Let's assume £10 million.

Firstly, I'd pay off my student loans, my siblings' student loans, and my parents mortgage.

Then I'd move out with my mates into a kick ass sonnuva ***** house, which has high barricade-ability against zombie/raptor attacks, because I damn well can. I'd get a sweet surround sound system etc etc as well.

Get a driving license, and when I'm comfortable with driving around (no point getting a sports car as my first) I'd probably buy an Aston Martin, and a smaller car for day-to-day purposes.

I'd invest about two thirds into a high interest account and one third I would throw about on the stock markets.

Finally, I'd buy a large plot of land near where I live and use that as a dog walking area/paint-ball arena.

simple question - What would you do if you won the lottery? would you save it, spend it or treasure it?

INVEST it, more like it. Also, would strongly depend on the actual lottery (amount won, payment options, etc).

What would you buy?

I never take out loans unless my life almost literally depends on it, and I haven't been able to save anywhere close to what's needed for a place to call my own, so one of the very few purchases would be a rather modest but pleasant home.
Ideally at the edge of a larger city, not in the suburbs though, and near public transport lines. Running water, indoor plumbing, reliable electricity, frequent trash pickup, moderately rich but not ostentatively rich neighborhood would be mandatory, then either natural gas or direct out-of-house heated water would be a plus, and so would a relatively nearby farmer's market (or better still, some actual farms).

Rest would see a share of short term bank deposits, long term bank deposits, investment in various resources, stocks in various energy and tech maybe also entertainment companies, some fiddling with the stockmarket, some small-scale business investments and so on and so forth.

Would you share your money?
Lastly, do you like bacon?

Hell no, and hell yes.

you know, i never put my own idea -

I would originally put a fair bit back in a high savings account, pay off family debts. give the whole family tree a couple of thosand each do up the chapel at the end of my grandparents road to support faith in the community. then spend a lil on myself.

A nice retreat in Australia or America, by the lake, with my own personal yacht and jet )
