You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
How would you spend, or invest it?
First thing for me, sort my family and friends out.
Second thing, finish work.
I'd then look for a nice pad overlooking the sea where the sun shines all year round.
Car - Aston Martin Vantage.
Hobby - following F1 for a season.
Drink of choice - Strongbow Cloudy :-)

1. Have a booze-up to celebrate
2. probably just blow the rest.

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
Women, booze, strip clubs, gambling, massage parlours and then squander what’s left👍

On that basis you will be broke in 5 years and looking for a job. If you are youngish and never want to work again you would have to be more careful with your money.

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
I'm not young. I wouldn't be broke in five years even if I didn't win the lottery, but thanks for your advice :thumbup:

2) call the wife’s boss, ditto
3) call the builder, get him in to do the extension
4) pop to the offy

Keep 500k for me and the Mrs, split the rest between my 4 children.Except I'd hold back most of my youngest sons portion until he's 28.

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
Pay off the mortgage, give up work, give plenty to disabled kids charities and search the world and invest in the best therapies and treatment for my disabled daughter.
Wouldn't mind a holiday at some point aswell.

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
I'd take £50k each for the wife and I to blow then wouldn't spend another penny of the lump sum, would find a good financial advisor, invest the rest and live very well on the interest.

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
would give the lot to my kids and charities of my choice

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
Buy Swansea Town and shut them down.

Best answer of the thread
And just for that, if i win 5 mill, you are more than welcome to 1 mill of it :thumbup: just to help in your search :thumbup:

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
Retire. Try and do some good for my family and other people. Although 5M is not a lot.

On the ‘not a lot’ basis, could you lend me £1m until I get my memory back👍
-
Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
First thing I'd do after a £5 million win would be to count it to make sure it's all there.
18 months later once that task is completed I'd double check.

You'd have friends you never knew you had that's for sure.

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
Id buy a coach/bus and start running away days for city fans.
That's where the real money is.

Better than a kick up the arse mind.
I’d give 500k to my two Sisters then go halves with Mum.

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
I’d buy a top of the range coach, with everything on it, so all TIT regulars could travel away in total comfort and FREE :thumbup:

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
As I am 25 would like to try and make it last, 250k to each parent and 250k to my sister.
get my own moderate 5 bed house, rent out a few rooms to my mates at cost price to cover bills, as a few of us are single atm.
invest in some buy to let properties, I work in construction so will do some buy to sell developments to keep me busy 2 or 3 a year.
hopefully that will grow my wealth overall, so I can send my nieces, future kids and grand kids to private school, best investment for a person in the world is education.

A very sensible approach. All you need now is a £5m win.

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
A little story about money that made me laugh, when Bale was sold for 80 million, my elderly grandmother went on a rant,
'that is a ridiculous amount of money, there are 80 million people in this country you could give everyone a million pound each instead of wasting it on a sports star.'

Re: You've just won 5 million quid on the Lotto!
I’d set aside a fund to make sure that my nephews and niece can go through university or an educational route of their choosing without having the pressure of student debt burdening them. I’d also make sure that there is plenty to look after my parents as they fall dependent on others in older age.
I’d quit my present employment and head off to see all the wonders of the world that I’m yet to visit. Chichen Itza, Nazca, Teotihaucan, Machu Picchu.
On my return I’d spend several months deciding on a small business which I could run as a sole trader and that would genuinely be enjoyable. A business that would afford me the time to study whatever college course took my fancy.
I’d also make a healthy and sizeable donation to Macmillan Cancer Support.
That aside, I suspect that I’d play a lot of golf and drink too much fine red wine.

While it is always nice not to have to have a load of student loans, they really are not a burden. there is a lot of mis-information of what I believe is actually a good system.
I have 25k of loans, and I am under no pressure to pay it, I currently do not earn enough to pay anything back, and when i do it is just a small percentage on what I earn over 23k a year. Most people never will have to pay back there entire loan by the time it is wiped off. It also does not affect credit rating or mortgage applications.
it is really just a graduate tax which the government has done a terrible job of marketing.

It most certainly is. But after me and the Mrs retiring, paying off the mortgage, buying a beach house and giving money to my kids. There wouldn't be much left for everyone else.
