OT: but what would you do if you win the lottery ?

[Rihannalove]

Hey mums how many of you playing lottery ?? how often ?? and what would you do if you win lol I personaly play once a week and I just hope that one day I will win

 

[feedindy]

I never really play, but if I did and won, I'd buy a house with a beautiful garden, and then a vacation home in Maine. Then I'd buy DH a vintage car he always was in love with. Then the rest for savings for LO. Oh and we'd take lots of vacations in a brand new RV.

 

[Rihannalove]

hope you win i was soo close to win this saturday 3 numbers matched and the other 3 was just one number up and down

 

[Natsku]

I only play if there's a big pot but if I won we first find the best private treatment we can for my OH, then we'd move to Kenya and set up a clinic or something similar.

I'd also probably get pretty drunk Oh and I guess I'd pay back my student loans and overdraft...

 

[hawalkden]

We rarely go on my parents biggest win on the Lotto was £2300 and they didn't tell anyone after they'd finished their 3 weeks cruise! Then gave me & OH £500 for our house.

I think I'd be very very realistic about what I'd do with the money. If it be £100,000 or £1.3 million! I'd buy a 3bedroom house in a standard area where I live they are about £235,500 for a 3bed large terrace/garden/garage etc.

I'd then go on a holiday with me, OH & Peanut with all the trimmings and whatever was left we'd save in high interest banks and give my parents and in-laws a few treats for all the things they've done for us in the past.

 

[Rihannalove]

well best idea is to buy as many properties as you can, but is it a good idea to tell your family if you win ?

 

[Cattia]

I never buy tickets but DH does sometimes, I always think what I would do if I won! I would quit work for a start, buy a big house in the same area with a big garden, buy a small ski chalet in Italy, give lots to my close family and friends, sponsor a school and orphanage in Tanzania as I have been there several times, go on an expensive holiday and drink champagne every night with my dinner! Well, I can dream!

 

[Lottie86]

I've never played the lottery but if I did and won a big amount I'd built a big adapted bungalow for Findlay and Iona, put money into accounts for them to help pay for care services and equipment when they are older, build a huuuuge new cat run, buy a new car for OH and pay off my Mum's mortgage.

 

[hawalkden]

well best idea is to buy as many properties as you can, but is it a good idea to tell your family if you win ?

We'd do everything e.g buy the house, go away and do what we want first without letting on bit like my parents did and whaever left we'd say we won half of what we did

 

[Bartness]

First I would go to work the next day with a cooler full of beers and alcha pops. Get to work put my feet up on the desk and crack a drink, and offer some to my co-workers. I would never actually clock in....

Then I would, Buy a bigger house and two new cars and a new truck, and a nice 5th wheel. Then we'd by lack property and build.

we would pay off our parents houses, and my siblings would each get about $10,000. I would start a trust fund for Jaxon. And plan a HUGE family Vacation, and a HUGE wedding for me and OH. (OH and pay off all of our bills)

 

[Mrs_Random]

Depends how much I won!

With a very big win I would buy a bigger house and then start ttc number 2 cose I could afford to be a SAHM!

 

[Snowball]

I'd move really far away and start again.

 

[kerrie24]

I put the lottery on whenever the fancy takes me,like once a month or something.Mostly I think its a waste of money

I would stay in my house,get oh to take a year off work and just enjoy ourselves,travel,buy my family and friends some treats etc etc
I can dream cant I ....

 

[MrsPoodle]

I sometimes do it..

Apart from the usual, like buy a better house, see our parents alright etc, I would pay someone to come and wash and dry my hair every day... I love it! And a cleaner / ironer.

 

[Rihannalove]

definitely i would go for a makeover i really need one

 

[binxyboo]

we have recently bought a new house, but it needs a LOT of work, so I would just pay for some decent builders to do the work for me.
I might even buy next door (my house is a semi detached - next door is also up for sale) and turn the house back into one like it used to be!
I would buy a holiday cottage in Cornwall and a sports car for hubby.

Also, I wouldn't go public like that scottish couple in scotland who won £166m. Apparently, they had begging letters from all over the world

 

[SophiasMummy]

I dont play very often but if I won, I would put a massive amount of it in trust funds for my LO, so she will get some at 18, 21 and 30.i would buy a nice house with a big garden, swimming pool and gym, do my driving test again untill I pass obv get a car and I would hire personal trainer. Other than that it would just be nice to know I can live comfortably if I didnt want to work again x

 

[kerrie24]

Oh yeah I forgot about the tummy tuck and lipo!

 

[keepontrying]

I would buy a large house in a nice rural country village, with loads of room.

I would then set myself up to become a foster parent and ideally specialise in sibling groups that would otherwise be split .... its my dream that unfortunately due to finances im likely to never fullfil

 

[lindseymw]

I'd buy a HUGE house with lots of land, plus an Aston Martin, a Ferrari & Lambo followed by a world cruise on the QE2 in the biggest suite on the ship. Ahhhhh one can only dream!
