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 wouldn't want anything flashy either. But I'd do sensible things like paying off my mortgage. I'd potentially at some point want to move to a house rather than my flat so that I could have a dog (if there was someone that could look after it during the day.

    I think I'd do things like hiring a cleaner - that could take some of the difficult things out of my life. I really struggle with staying on top of housework.

    I'd buy lots of Lego (I'd probably need that house to keep it all in).

    I'd possibly go on a holiday abroad if I could be brave enough. I'd love to see more of the world but my anxiety (and currently lack of money) gets in the way.

    I would also want to give a decent amount to charity. I'm not sure which charity yet. Something meaningful. Possibly smaller local charities that do a lot of good but are less likely to get large amounts of money.

    I don't play the lottery either.
