What would you do with the money? I think I'd give most of it away. Cripes, who'd want that sort of money in the bank?

First thing, get a good tax planner! Don't want HMRC grabbing 40 per cent of it when I go. Set up the two children and the grand children with a suitable trust. Get a better house.
Most of the things that people think of, or dream of, are either very cheap in the context or far more expensive to keep than they think. The most expensive car is cheap, as are most good houses, but any yacht in the South of France bigger than 70 foot (which is no size) costs a fortune to maintain, and a decent racehorse is only for very serious money (quite a lot to buy anyway, but the training and other outgoings are enormous). And a private jet? Even billionaires often share one.
The very rich that I know have none of the features that the tabloids make news; they're not spending millions on birthday parties. They live unshowy, quite modest lives. The attitude is that money is like water; you don't need to have a reservoir to be content but it's good to know there's always enough on tap for whatever you want or need. But they are so adjusted to wealth that they do say extraordinary things sometimes. One said 'I am having trouble with my bank'. I said 'Join the club!' Later, I asked him about his trouble with the bank and he said 'Oh, I sold it' Casual, or what?

give half away to a homless charit,y a lot to various charities that help neglected and abused animals and enough for me and my family/friends to live without worrying about money (and for me to give up work and not have a purpose in the morning other that feed the cat :-)
i suppose i ought tio buy a ticket
i suppose i ought tio buy a ticket
i have a ticket for this friday....and if i won, i would see my parents alright, but everyone else could go and whistle. no-one has ever helped me (except my parents) over the last 20 years when i got up the duff at 16; put myself and mr kicker through university (two degrees each) and now the boy is going into his second year of his first degree. i work two jobs, can't drive (medically) and so don't get to see everyone as much as i would like. do they drive the 60 mile journey to me? no they don't....and that's precisely why they would get zip and i'd enjoy telling them so as well. as for expecting some off my relatives if they won - for some of them, i'd burn it in front of them.
