Reply With QuoteI'd start up a local trade/apprenticeship school and fund it.
I think a solid trade training can see you set up for life, if you have the work ethic to go with it, problem is getting the proper training.

I'd buy a golden toilet.
I'd give a million to the wife and tell her to sling her hook.
Then I'd commission a 1 / 1 scale solid gold pig to be made.
I'd sit on it's back and listen to music in the music room at weekends.
That is all.
I'd probably give the rest of the money away.
I was just looking up the infamous BAR carbon fibre toilet seat and found this:Originally Posted by Dave O'Sullivan

Probably too cheap and common for your gold toilet though.

Generated lots of lols. Hammer time.
Probably some animal-related charity because most people are arseholes.
I'd find books about grief and loss in local libraries and leave £50 notes in them.
I always thought if I won a load of money I'd help out friends and family with business ideas and making their lives a bit more fun and would invest in a few pensions for those who don't have them.
"A man of little significance"
Superb, I'd love to do something like that. I'm sure a lottery win would give me loads of time to dream up such things that help people.
what a fantastic idea. Would be great to do it in the children’s section as well just to see the look on their faces finding a fiver.
I’d give it to animal charities. People don’t deserve much in my estimations.
11 posts in and nobody has mentioned a massive coke habit followed by persecution, bankruptcy and early death.
Whenever I make the mistake of reading red top content, that seems to be the winner's MO.
I would spend a fair bit on booze, drugs and women and waste the rest...
I'd get a great big turnip in the country.
I'd start with a lime green Lamborghini with leopard skin seats and go from there.
George Best walt!
Baldrick, shouldn't you be preparing dinner? Lord Melchett is coming.
Ah, but we all love Mickey Carroll ...
My plan ...
Make nearest and dearest mortgage free, don't make anyone rich, just put them in a position to be a bit free'er and live an easier life .....
Then buy lots of motorbikes, watches and houses ........
Now if I could fund one thing:
I'd love to run or be main sponsor of a MotoGP Team and be part of the circus for a year, having worked in BSB in the past, that was great, but this would be the pinnacle for me.
I would shift to the British Virgin Islands buy a Hinkley and probably tell about 5 people where I was.
The wife wouldn't be one of them.
What are you going to do with a nuclear power station in the BVI? Sounds like the plot of a Bond movie
Get a bigger garage, send my old car to Singer for a make over, and once finished use it to travel to the top 100 golf courses an the country for a game. Then Spain, Portugal, France, etc.
The rest i would give to my son, so he never has to work.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A new house.
I’d set myself up in business that doesn’t need mega bucks but I never have the spare capital to make the leap.
Then I’d like to build a Scout hut for my group rather than renting a small hall.
The local SAR team need a few pounds to complete projects including a new control vehicle.
Then I’d travel to places off the beaten track.
I'd direct a large sum to the RNLI to fund a new vessel.
Probably ask them to it call it Boaty McLifeboat, just 'cos.
I'd buy the houses on either side of a certain manager( who gave me a life of hell several years ago) and rent said properties for a pittance to the biggest drug dealing loud music playing pit bull owning mob of scumbags i could drag up from the bowels of hell.

See family and close friends right. Sort the wife's family out in the philippines so they are a bit more comfortable and send their kids to school. The wife wants to set up a free medical clinic out there. I'd also look at providing better typhoon resistant housing (after being directly affected by Yolanda a few years ago) and clean water source. I'd buy a few cars (lambo dealers first), move house, learn to fly a helicopter, give some to animal charities. Be interesting to see how peoples attitudes would alter towards you especially some friends. Also looking at this list its going to have to be a hell of a jackpot win!
Tell my ex about it.
See close friends are helped out and a couple of animal charities.
Buy a couple of Rolex for prizes in a "name out of the hat" type free draw.
Lastly, buy a Ferrari with a roof-rack and tow-bar.
I'd take the money, buy a boat and never have to endure her indoors again.

Buy my ex-employer and close the business.
Being a dad of a fairly serious swimmer I’d build a competition standard 50m pool with plenty of land training and spectating space and set up a training facility to match the best in the UK (assuming I had enough money). My kid has aspirations of being a coach and physio so it would be great to create a top team of coaches and see what we can do for the sport....
I’d buy, and wear, the Daytona Leopard SACO.
& try to do some good.
It's just a matter of time...
I would buy the company I used to work for, invite all of the supervisors and managers ("line leaders" and "staff communicators"... seriously) and ask them to take an aptitude test.
Those who pass can keep their jobs. Those who fail (I suspect the vast majority) will be publicly executed.
I'd probably spend the rest on Lawyers, and then later on cigarettes and mobile phones to cover my "protection" while serving several life sentences. It would be worth it.
Remarkably frank.
Why so many supporting animal charities?
Conservation I understand, but giving money to cats, dogs and donkeys above the huge numbers of homeless sleeping rough right now is beyond my comprehension.
I agree, no way that animals are more deserving than people.
Where do all these donkeys come from? Crack down on the ex-owners - make them pay.
Same for cats/dogs.
I like the idea of buying up ugly postwar buildings that disfigure otherwise beautiful places, and pulling them down and restoring the streetscape/landscape back to coherent beauty. For instance there's a particularly nasty one halfway down one side of St George's Square in Pimlico, which completely destroys the homogeneity of it as an urban ensemble:

You are Prince Charles and I claim my £5.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Pay off a few close friend's mortgages.
Bung closest friends a few mil each.
Set my daughter up for life, with more than a few stringent terms and conditions.
Buy more motherbikes and watches. 😄
I'd buy at least 7 bacon sandwiches.
Then I'd put the rest in the mattress, so when I die my purifying corpse will ruin the cash so nobody else can have any.
Wowsers.
SEVEN bacon sandwiches?
Madness.
Autism school and research centre
Always invest in bacon, that's what my dad said...
Thats what David Cameron’s Dad told him too.
I am not Prince Charles, but thanks for the laugh.
I give to animal charities because unlike people animals can’t help get themselves out of trouble. They have to rely on human intervention.
Just my thoughts on it don’t expect many to agree.
I’d argue that not everyone can help themselves but I think many will agree with you and it’s our choice who we give to.
I think you have a point.
Right now I think the first purchase would be a Ducati Panigale V4, and a nice house with a big garage.......or a big garage with a nice house attached.
I would set up a bunch of scholarships for intelligent but under privileged kids. On a personal level it would be boxes at major sporting events and if I couldn't go give them to local emergency services. Oh and built a house to my own specifications.

Originally I was just thinking of worthy causes that one might want to fund but, since people have mentioned things they'd buy for themselves, here is one of my personal wants: Cedar Lodge in North End (which is a sort of hamlet just down the hill from Whitestone Pond in Hampstead): https://www.primelocation.com/for-sale/details/43345905
In actual fact I really lust after the very last house on the left on North End Avenue but I'd settle for Cedar Lodge. ;-)
I’ve told my friends that if I win the lottery I will ring them all at 2 in the morning and tell them that my car has broken down or I’ve missed my train etc. I will find out who my true friends are and will pay off the mortgage of anyone who comes to help.
It also means that I am guaranteed a lift home if I am genuinely ever stuck!
