i'd go on a holiday, buy a car, buy a car for each of my family, buy them each a house....set up trust funds for my brother and nephew, and donate a large sum to cancer research and cot death research....

what would u do?

edit: if you won a LOT

Depends how much we won. If it was 'just' a million then I would do some of what you said, set up a fund for the kids and then just make our life more comfortable, bigger house, work less etc.

If it was 5+million or so then all of the above and give up work as well.

Tell you what I wouldn't do, I wouldn't buy a house and then smash up old cars in the back garden like that bloke who was on Trevor MacDonald!

If I'd won a lot of money I would buy a nice house, a nice car for my mum & dad (I can't drive) & give them some money, give some to my brother & sister (maybe, depends how much I've won) & have a nice, happy (easy) life :):):)

I would give some away to charity

I couldn't give up work!!! - don't say I would be doing the same job but I would get bored just travelling the world after a while.

Don't know what I'd do with the money, but I'd take great pleasure in telling my boss to get stuffed.

I seen a rather nice house with a small loch in its land not that long ago going for around 200k. I would probably buy that and travel!
Do the usual give money to friends etc......Woudl probably buy property and rent it out.

I tell you what gets me. These people that say "money doesn't make you happy". Monkey-Poop it wouldn't!!!!! Plus, the people that say that are the ones that DON'T HAVE ANY FLIGGIN' MONEY - SO HOW WOULD THEY KNOW??????????

Personally, I would buy a nice house. Not a massive one, I can't use / have no need for that many rooms, so that would save a few hundred thousand. I would pay off all my parents debts (being mortgage, etc) and buy them a villa in the south of France (they want one - so...). I would put loads into my daughters savings account. Buy an AC Cobra, a new Ford GT, an aston martin Vanquish and a race track (it would be rude not to with those babies!!!). I would then put the remainder in a high interst account and live off of that.

Travelling doesn't really interest me too much. I like my creature comforts. Of course, my home would be fully automated and controlled via client software on my PDA(s)!!!

I'm a gadget person, so the more toys, the better!!!!!!

I'd give most of it to Cancer Research having lost a couple of family members to bowel cancer and I'd spend the rest like it was going out of fashion.
