You Win The Lottery. What Do You Do....

[Dreamsandlove]

How do you spend it?

Me: donate, make family secure, house, car and travel. Set up conservation and rescue centres for animals and wildlife. Possibly create my own sheep land so that I could have my own little word of happiness with fluffy baby lambs to cuddle. Maybe a shrink too.

[sandyRoe]

The shrink for the sheep?

[-Talbot-]

Maybe a shrink too.




That sounds like a wise decision.

[Mamyalynne]

You would be able to pay someone to do the castrations.

[Zacs-Master]

Please, don't let it be her!

[dustypuss]

I would tell The wife that I do love her ! and I hope that she will be alright without me.:-)

[just2retro]

or maybe buy yourself a ticket back from Australia.

[Baldric]

My Family or to be fair, Mrs B's Family would be secure, I don't have any close family. Roger would get a nice new Collar and move to a new home with us, and LtD could have the old one (home not collar), or move with us if she wanted. I'd have to give up AB I think, at least as Baldric. Then who knows??

[RATTER15]

I would ensure that my nearest and dearest were financially secure, then I would buy myself another Range Rover and a Harley Davidson. I would develop a Wolfhound breeding program and the same for the British Bulldog to improve the breeds and then I would select very worthwhile causes to donate to, that would be mostly the very young and the very old and from any walk of life and from any country.

[Prudie]

I'd be off abroad

[tamborine]

Share with family & extended family. Donate to kids charities. Hire a cook for me ;)

[just2retro]

Baldric -you could come back to AB as BaldrictheBounteous or Filthyrich&Baldric.

[Baldric]

I'd have to veto the bounteous that's for sure, however filthyrichand******* might be ok.

A Scotsman wins the lottery, his wife says to him ''What do we do about the begging letters?''
He looks at her as though she has gone a bit stupid and tells her '' Just keep sending them out!''

[EDDIE51]

I'd buy my own pub that only served hand pump real ale, then give it away free, but only to those I liked . Larger drinkers would be banned for life!

[jourdain2]

Oh, so much! Ensure children's mortgages were paid off for a start. Put money aside for grandchildren's education. Buy funeral plan. Buy OH a car (not hugely expensive one, just newer and reliable). Re-open French house as a holiday home instead of having to sell it because it is such a drain.

Ensure OH and I will be financially secure for the rest of our lives. Pay for the installation of a loo and the whole vestry update at our church.

I'm keen on track and field athletics for kids so I would then endow a track for E. Riding.

After that - enjoy myself, see the Mona Lisa, Sistine chapel etc. .. One can dream. Nice post. :)

[pastafreak]

Set myself up for a comfortable retirement...money in the bank,a nice house,traveling. The same for my daughter,and my brother and his family. I'd also donate a bundle to the homeless charity I work for so they could build new premises and have funds for the future.

[jennyjoan]

Don't want to put the dampener on this but truly wouldn't want to win - all that money leads to so much unhappiness. Sorry

[eanceoil]

I'd go to my daughter in Abu Dhabi UAE, we could drop all and go within the year if we wanted, it would be lovely to have the cushion of a windfall and spend it over there, it's so beautiful there and we'd book into an hotel instead of staying with her family. Maybe go on a cruise, whatever, I'd spend every penny of it on living it up

[BAKERS DOZEN]

A house in France with a large Carp lake for Mr BD and friends. Make sure the children and grandson were financially secure and split what was left between The Christie and Help for Heroes.

[Tuvok]

All that from £25?
:-p
