What would you do if you won the lottery?

Lotus

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?

  • I had it all planned out before the current burnout and diagnosis. Now I realise some of that was part of trying to live a life that isn't me. Now I am less sure.

    I think I would have a modest house with a bit of land (you need over 750k round me), then maybe retire. I always wanted to be away from people, now I am worried about being too isolated.

    I would need some interests that gave me contact with people.

    If it was Euro millions money I would start some sort of horticulture business. It wouldn't need to make a profit, just sort of break even. I would also try to help some local causes.
