mick miller Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 In all seriousness, I would spend the time learning stuff. With that amount of money you could afford the best private tutors to come in and educate you on all manner of things. I'd like to learn a couple of languages, learn more about physics and astronomy, learn electronics and a musical instrument, learn how to strip and rebuild my land rover and then go on to restore several. The list is endless, and along with seeing the world, there is much to keep you occupied. I never understood people that win and then get bored or their lives goes into melt down. Some people have no imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I have won the lottery, and I could not make £10.00 go as far as some of you to think it will go. Where am I going wrong? Shame.

Houseplant Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I've thought about this quite a lot because obviously it is going to happen! I'd go to Aussie, buy a big motorhome and tour the entire country over an open-ended period of time. It would take years and I would use the time to find a place I'd want to settle. The fishing and hunting would have to be good. I'd buy a decent boat and a berth and a small house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 there's a house in brooke, just down the road that i'd love to buy, I think it was once a gate house to an estate, it is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fishing and hunting would have to be good. I'd buy a decent boat and a berth and a small house. Actually it wouldn't take as long as you think. I've toured Aus twice, first time for 6 months on a motorbike and the second for 6 months in a camper van. North to south and east to west very few roads, even round the edge isn't as populated as you might think. My favourite would be southern Queensland - Townsville/Atherton tablelands. No real winter but not the stinking hot/wet summers. But then there are the crocs, box jellyfish, snakes, spiders ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjimmer Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Find 40 6-feet-tall intelligent(there's the problem) blondes and put them all in the family way so as to have enough sons to form a rugby team. Would have to finance 2 complete classes in a good school. I assume it's Euromillions jackpot that is being talked about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have no imagination. I'd love ya to win Mick to see if that's what you would seriously do I would employ an 18yr old young lady as a translator, employ a decent electrician that isn't colour blind and buy lots and lots of nearly new landies of different creeds. This would then allow you loads of time to bum around the world with your translator sitting in a hammock on exotic beaches learning the guitar. Luckily I did the later in me late teens but lonely planet phrase book instead translator. I did get a free lucky dip last week, was going to part exchange for Wales but no I will take me chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyRich Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I assume we're talking a couple of million lottery win? I'd buy a nice little cottage somewhere with a bit of land. Don't need a ridiculous house, something smallish but nice and cosy stuck out the way somewhere with a couple of fields to stick a few cows and horses in and a nice sizeable patch of woodland to keep me busy. And a little stream. Has to have a little stream. The rest of the money I'd be productive with either by investing or starting a little business up, once I've seen that my family are alright for a few quid of course.
