Right I don't normally post stuff like this but I'm sat here on a Sunday trying to program a Thermal Transfer printer do things it isn't designed to do and not getting paid for it, I found myself staring at my screen and day-dreaming about were I would live if I won Millions on the Lottery, so I thought I would find out what you oik's would do too...

I would spend my life split 50/50 with appartments in London and New York, I just love big cities and those are my favourites. The New York one would have to be high up in the edge of Central Park.

Cheers

london first. then when i get bored of rude people id probably be off to canada. somewhere out of the way but not too far out of the way
 
Somewhere hot. I'm absolutely sick of his crappy weather we get here. This has to be the worst summer Ive ever known.

Not sure where exactly, maybe somewhere in the US. I like their big wide roads and spacious houses, much better then the rubbish roads here and terraced houses.

Then again I do also love this country for other reasons, so would buy a big house in the country as well.

Now I'm depressed as I know i'll never win :(:p
 
I'd most probably just spend my life as how it is now except more luxuries i.e. a car for each family member and own house, so I'd stay at the same place...

The rest of the money, I'd invest in some way.. (probably buy OCUK and put pr0n section up on the forums)
 
I'd buy some place with a vineyard in Spain and build a small house in Wales. Maybe something small in Canada aswell, to rent out and go there a few times a year.

If I 'only' won £5 million or so I'd stay in Glasgow but have an awesome pad, probably on Bath Street.

You can get loads more for your money in the US, not sure about other places but I'd imagine a lot of places would be cheaper than living here. There is a program on C4 where people from the UK go looking at houses in Florida and some of the houses you can get there for under £500k are massive.

But I guess you would need more than 5 mill to ensure you didnt need to find a job out there.

Would be so awesome having BBQ's every day etc. I havent had one this year due to the crappy weather.

I'd have a good sized country house probably in Surrey and then another villa, possibly in Italy.

I don't doubt that, but I don't really need a massive house. As long as I can get a big kitchen, a temperature controlled area for wine storage, a brewing room and a large living room/entertainment room then I'd be happy. All that you can get into a large flat no bother (or maybe buy two and knock through). I don't need a 8 bedroomed house with a 4 car garage!
 
Malibu Beach, LA.

TBH tho, if I wont enough then I wouldnt "move" anywhere. I would be travelling a lot, and not just the usual places.... Would take me abut 3-5 years to finish.
 
I'd travel first, find somewhere I really liked.

Maybe move to the States, build a house in a remote location (desert or mountains) and prepare for Z-Day.
 
i would stay here, and build my self a nice house.
but i would have a few holiday homes as well in the carribbean or south of france
