Emigrate - No, because have you seen outside today? The sun is shining, the garden looks lovely ... this is the best place in the world to live. I would spend a lot on travelling though

 

Spend, spend, spend - oh yes, that's why I do the lottery

 

OK?

I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut about it   I'd like to think I'd be all secretive about it...but I think I'd buy my own stage in the middle of town, jump on it with a microphone and big loud speakers and shout 'I'M RICH!  I'M RICH!!!!    I might even chuck a few notes out to the passing crowd

 

I don't know if I'd emigrate..I might by some where on the Shannon and live there, and have a few more houses peppered all over the world...but then...maybe I might just stay in a hotel so I don't have to worry about me mansions while I'm away from them

 

So I guess the answer to the would I spend big question would be a Yes then...damn bloody right I would

I agree with this, plus I don't want a load of people on my (new) doorstep pleading for money

 

I wouldn't emigrate cos I'd miss my family too much

 

My first purchase? If it counts I'd like to pay a few people's debts off for them

I'd never go public, I would'nt even tell the family, I'd start a buiseness and make it sound like I was doing really well to give my family gifts cos people don't expect you to give away your hard earned cash but they expect your winnings..

My BIL friend won ÂĢ4.5 million on the lotto, he gave all his family money but his own brother blackmailed him that if he did'nt give him more money he'd go public that they'd won..they live a very lonely life now....

Not a chance would I go public!  I would buy a house abroad and a new one here, then give money to all my closest family and friends and then go stay in the house abroad while the news settled.  On returning I'd try to live as normally as possible.

 

My weakness would be shoes.

 

Oh and I'd also hire a personal chef and trainer

Ells

No, I would never go public.  My o/h says I'd reply to every begging letter and be skint within a year.

Emigrate?  Very possibly but I'd have to think more about that one.

And of course I'd spend, spend, spend ~ after I'd taken care of family and friends.

Good luck to those pensioners, I hope they have a great time spending their winnings.

Aquarius

Yes, I'd go public

Yes, I'd immigrate

Yes, I'd spend

 

 

Firstly, I'd enjoy lording it over some people I've met, the fact that my wealth was entirely unearned would make it all the better!  Conversely, I would give to charity big time.

 

Secondly, I'd love to have a place somewhere warm and also somewhere cold for the winter.

 

Thirdly, you can't take it with you.

We had a client who had separated from her husband, but the separation wasn't finalised....he won a million euro on the Lotto...died shortly after he claimed it...and she bagged the lot (no kids)  I'd say he was doing sommersaults in his grave

I cycle past a house in the country which looks as if it were designed by a drunken footballer. Automobile rich, it was bought by a lottery winner from an industrial town nearby. The woman missed her friends, the guy didn't fit in, and the marriage split up.

It's safe to say that none of us on here will ever win a large life changing amount. I don't think that I would want to. The Thunderball would be nice though!
