Question

What Will You Do When You Win The Lottery?

Okay, let's assume that you've won £100m on the Euromillions or US Lottery. What will you do with the cash?

I'd do the following:

1) Find a horse the next day that's 100/1 and stick my £100m on the nose to win

2) With my £10bn I'll do the following:

  • Buy a load of property (a house in the country, a house by the seaside, a house in London and a house in Ireland)
  • Buy 100 Bitcoins
  • Buy a horsie and name him Giggsy
  • Buy a few racehorses
  • Invest around £1bn in VR developers (or maybe £1m if I don't decide to make that bet above), and pay someone to finish my game for me :D
  • Forget about my friends and family cos they're all bloody gold-diggers, same with all of you lot too :D
  • Give a fair bit to cancer research and diabetes research, £1bn each (or £1m if I don't make that bet)

Now some of you may think I've lost my marbles with number 1) above but think about it. You've won the lottery at odds of around 15,000,000/1. Your luck is running, so odds of 100/1 is NOTHING.

I should have a good amount left over (depending on how good or bad my racehorses are) and I'll just live on the interest and treat myself to something nice every now and then.

    Buy a tropical island have someone build a house on it and get off the damn grid, no TV no radio except a sat phone and someone reliable on the other end to bring me food once a month, no computer just my favorite music and the azure blue sky and crystal clear water, as if I was on another planet.

    I will first of all help the needy people. I will help those people who can't afford enough food to eat, enough dressing to wear and have not enough facilities to live a normal life. :(

    I've now decided to buy a load of lions and tigers and open up a zoo. Just got to make sure I don't pick up a pro and marry her, cos that way leads to death ☠?☠???

    Yeah Rajay, and a few years later some idiot hits you with his car and you die without even enjoying your money. But on the bright side, all of your family will be very happy and will probably throw a party thinking what a....... you were (fill in the blank)

    The irony of winning now would at least give you plenty of time for reflection as to what you will want to do with it all.

    That is part of my plan. When I win £50m or so I'm going to put the whole lot on a 100/1 horse to win (as soon as racing starts again of course!). I'll then be worth 5 billion smackeroonies. My plan is foolproof.
