You win one of the 18 millionaire prizes on tonights lottery, your plans?

[RomanNose]

Buy 5 or so houses and live off rent.
I actually want to experience living like the average bloke, so I wouldn't touch it apart from the rent cash.

 

[yhack]

All into the highest interest account available.
Or become a loan shark.

 

[G-MAN2004]

I'd invest half of it into the US in the hope of getting a green card.

I actually want to experience living like the average bloke

Why?

 

[magick]

I'd buy an apartment in Dubai, Ferrari F458 Spider, Land Rover, Jet Ski, Rolex and have £300-400k left to play with

 

[Warbie]

New house with 200" screen home cinema and games room.

I'd invest half of it into the US in the hope of getting a green card.



Why?

To let me see things from both perspectives, otherwise I will grow old to be some narrow minded selfish ****. Of course I may use the money in later life but I will leave it for a decade or so.

 

[krooton]

Please explain why??

Say you get a mortgage with a great LTV giving you a 3% interest rate, but you are earning 5% from a high interest savings account, you are up 2% (or not depending on how the 5% interest is taxed) over just buying a house outright.

 

[wilber]

Buy a farm, either here or in Canada.

 

[DAIR]

Invest further monies into the business
Buy a decent place in a nice area
Buy a decent car
Hand in my notice

 

[FARGO]

Parents mortgage.
Improved standard of living for my grandparents.
Find a charity which needs the help.
Electric toothbrush.

Everytime this come's up it's still the same answer, spend £400,000 (flat, car, money to family) and put the £600,000 into hopefully a back account with 5% interest. Giving £30k a year, it'll be like working one job but getting paid twice.....if I had a job! =[

 

[freak2002]

Always wanted to have a house built for me to my spec, but £1m is most likely pushing it. So... House, couple of cars, License and Bike. Money for family (around 20k each), then saving and no worries. More family (4 kids rather than 3) than we planned.

 

[memyselfandi]

New house (as per earlier in the thread this may actually be on a mortgage), nice size with things like a home cinema but nothing over the top.

Invest the rest to give me some income of the interest etc, probably wouldn't be enough to be a sole income but would be a nice top up on my existing salary.

You could also try to pay off the evil spirits which are trying to kill you

 

[mrk]

Too many aliens in Dubai as well, avoid!

[PistolPete]

Pay off my outstanding on my mortgage, pay off the last of my parents-in-law mortgage, buy my sister-in-law and b/f a house, buy a newer car, nice holiday, put £100k away kids to go to Uni if they wanted to and bank the remaining £450k.

 

[Wynthorpe]

Put it in the bank at 6% and leave it for 30 years. Then walk away with a cool £6million when i hit retirement age

 

[EdwardTeach]

Buy another house, rent out my apartment. Never work.

 

[lee32uk]

I would vist the USA and Canada because it is somewhere I have always wanted to go. After that I would probably just buy a nice house and car to go with it.

 

[James J]

Spend around £30k on stuff for myself, give £100k to my parents and stick the remaining £870k into a high interest bank account.
