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?

  • Rather like you, nothing flashy. A larger house with a garden and garage One that’s detached so there are no noisy neighbours. But not so large that I couldn’t maintain it myself.

    A new car, or rather a new second-hand car. I wouldn’t want a new car all that worrying about the first scratch! An old SUV would be fine.

    I like photography, and I’m quite happy with the old camera gear I have. I would however spend a lot on traveling around the country taking photographs. Staying in expensive hotels, ones that that deliver meals to your room.

    That’s one nice thing about being on the spectrum, it doesn’t really take much to keep us happy. Money serves to remove the things that make us unhappy, having to work, run to a tight budget, use crowded public transport etc. We just want some peace and quiet and to be allowed to live at our own pace.

    .....just thought of another, I could put the central heating up to 21 degrees and just leave it there, forever. :-)
