What would you do if you won the lottery?

I've just read a novel where the central character wins the lottery, and it got me thinking about what I'd do in that situation. I wouldn't want anything "flashy" like an expensive car, rolex watch or jewellery, or a mansion size home. The only thing I'd want is a small home in a quiet area that's detached, to prevent noise issues. I don't really care where, but I'd like it to have a few useful shops and a post office nearby and for Sainsbury's to be able to deliver my groceries, and fairly near the sea would be nice too. Only problem is that I don't actually play the lottery, so it really is a dream!

What would you do if you suddenly had a couple of million?

  • Obviously set my kids up with nice homes and move house myself, I'd probably buy a newer car, but probably not an electric one as I don't think I could cope with all the tech in it.

    If I won a euro millions rollover or something daft then I think I'd become a social landlord and let houses out at rents people can afford with long term leases so they have a sense of security.
