Hi

Just bought my ticket for the £112 euro millions lottery, husband calls it Idiot tax but he will be eating his words if i win

Have you got your ticket what would u do with such a lot of money?

Would give half away to charities...

Then spend the other half living in a lovely country barn conversion, lots of kids, lots of cats, a few chickens

and i'd hire a chef to cook me lots of homemade foods and chutneys ect...

Aaaahhh dreaming!

I don't think I even have the £1.50 spare to buy a ticket!

I'd buy each of my siblings a house for a start, plus clear mortgages for my close family. Buy ourselves a house or two and take us off travelling the world for a few years in 5* luxury. Give to various charities. And I've no idea.

Oh my, I'd buy a lovely big house somewhere hot

I think I'd put half of it into an account for Scarlett, a quarter of it in a high-interest savings account, and spend the rest on clothes or something :P

I wouldn't bother putting any in a high interest savings, not like I'd need it!

Well i was thinking this is what i might do.

I would not say i had won the lot either

Give my brother and mum/dad and MIL a million each do do as they want.

Pop enough into a savings account so that each year they paid the max into a pension for close family and there kids. (Just in case the money disapears this would be back up plan)

Set up 2 accounts each with £10million in one accrues the interest and the account is locked for 10 years, the other account generates a interest payment which is made monthly (would be plenty to live on).

I would buy my house, pay for parents house, buy brother a house outright and do them and MIL house all up. I would also fit with solar panels on these houses and close friends.

I would also buy land in NZ, france and scotland design and build a house with land and pop a couple of cars in each. I would employ a housekeeper in each to cook and clean. I would also get an entire new wardrobe of clothes !!

I'd cry and dance around like a craazy ladie.. Probably break a leg

Then buy houses for close family/set money accounts up for children.. Have a big house with playroom/.swimmin pool etc etc designed and built.. Go on a huge holiday and do something good for children that have nothing

It's £2 a ticket now!! Small price to pay for £112million tho, which is why I bought the winning ticket yesterday.

I'd take J on a round the world trip to introduce him to all the amazing things the world has to offer that we usually see only on tv. And shoes.
