£195,707,000. I Hope It's A Very Large Syndicate

[Canary42]

In reality, such an enormous win would probably ruin most people's lives.

If you won this much, what would you do with it ?

[aelmpvw]

i wouldn't buy a ticket for fear of winning the jackpot . . .

[ToraToraTora]

I'd add a tenner and pay me debts off....

[pastafreak]

Find worthy causes...and individuals. Help family.
But that amount is scary.

[Lie-in King]

Wouldn't ruin my life! Plenty of charities to help, no family but a few friends would benefit & never having to worry about a bill again.

I had the 2 "Lucky Stars" but not a single number. Next time, maybe...

[davebro]

first million to Monkey World!

[aelmpvw]

//a few friends would benefit//
as an a side, i would consider myself one of your friends L-i-K ;-)

[Canary42]

Yes, I think the suitable solution would be to retain a reasonable amount (a personal value judgement as to what constitutes this) and donate the rest to Charity(s).

[Ken4155]

You could make lots of people very happy with that amount. Yourself included, of course:-)

[Lie-in King]

Ael - depends what Doris says... ;-)

[cashier]

An endless list of charities to choose from, and at least the money would go where you wanted it.

[aelmpvw]

no odd hundreds or tens? think i would query that if i was the winner

[ladybirder]

Monkey World would be at the top of my list as well as other charities.

Buying myself a property in the North Yorkshire Dales would be a priority as well.

Oh and a weekly delivery of 7 large bags of Kettle Chips Sea Salt with Black Peppercorns;-)

[Ken4155]

Weird, that, LB. I'd also be looking to purchase a property in N Yorks - slap bang in the middle of all their wonderful racecourses:-)

[Hazlinny]

Donate to animal and children's charities -give money to very best friends so that they never need worry about bills again, chuck a few million my cousin's way so he can buy his dream of a villa in Provence.
Gosh, got loads left - spa breaks, World cruise and a limo on call 24/7
driven by a Gerard Butler look-a-like. Buy a bigger piggy-bank!

[Gromit]

Spend it unwisely.

[ladybirder]

Very nice around Middleham way ken. You could join their Racing syndicate as well.

[davebro]

If you invest it at minimal rates of interest you could earn about £200 thousand a week!

[youngmafbog]

The problem with donating to charities is you are just making the Chief execs rub their hands in glee at a larger paypacket.

With this sort of sum far better to create your own charity and make sure it goes to the right people.

Also makes a nice legacy for yourself.

[mallyh]

i'm always reading in our local paper about families trying to raise money for various treatments i'd love to help them ,also donate a big chunk to the hospice that cared for my son in law and the care they gave my daughter and her children .

[Ken4155]

LB, love the Middleham area - been on a few Stable Tours in that vicinity; Jedd O'Keeffe, Micky Hammond, Phil Makin, Ann Duffield, and a few others.
If i won that amount, i would be buying my own horses, there wouldn't be any need for syndicates:-)
