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?

  • My first thought would be to spend it!. But then I worry it would change me as a person as I have known two couples who came in to money not by wining the lottery and it changed them. They went from being liberal, kind to suspicious and right wing. This is a common outcome to lottery winners I have read. The mere thought of voting for a right wing party would make me give it all away no matter how big the win.
