Congratulations - you've just won the Euromillions

I'd go to work each day, where work consisted of investigating local and national charities to determine who would get the next charitable donation.

I'd live off interest in a not too lavish lifestyle, and I would continue to do forms of voluntary work, and charitable donations. I'd hit the gym a bit more.

I would try to never work another day at my actual work. If I could quit tomorrow I would, not for the workplace, just for the stress of the work itself.
 
I'd keep running the business I own but would buy up some of my competitors. Alongside that I would have a nice little family investment office which my wife could run.
 
I enjoy my job and would try and make the business grow and grow. Maybe not work full time.

Make sure my friends were setup and happy
Buy a Yacht and spend some time floating somewhere hot
Invest in the local area (make better)
I love projects so - Building a house, car, maybe another house, and another, maybe another car
Invest in people who are very inventive and have great ideas (Kickstarter)
Live off the interest and make sure my future children wouldn't go short
 
I'd continue my degree, push on for a PhD, becoming a research chemist and running a non-profit style research labs on behalf of Cancer Research. My country manor will have space for both my helicopter - that I land on the roof of the lab - and large car collection. I'd live comfortably, but the money wouldn't change me. Same group of friends, buying rounds of drinks for us all in clubs, paying for the taxi home, etc..

Sounds good, but won't happen. :p
 
Build myself a shed and engineer/manufacture old timey steam machines and bits for them.

I enjoy working with my hands and creating. It's something I have interest in just never the time, space or cash flow to pick up.

It wouldn't be a business as such, more of a hobby with the input on the level of candyman and his robocop.
 
Top Gear challenge using super cars, the demolition derby phase should be interesting.

I'd probably enjoy it as much as I could but as for a project, it would be property development doing as much as I could myself (with the exception of decorating, can't stand it)
 
I would establish a political party. Let's call it Motorists Of Britain (MOB). In the manifesto you would find things like
- nationalising all toll roads and paid crossings, making them free and iron clad guarantee to make any congestion charges and tolls illegal for the next 100 years
- all train routes must have at least two competing operators and no train ticket can cost more per mile than cost of car journey calculated as fuel costs @ 40 mpg.
- no heavy duty, lorry or HGV traffic allowed on public roads between 8 and 11am and between 5 and 7 pm
- tax/VED free classic car age set to 30 years, rolling. 1984 and older.
- road works and road closures to be paid by operator/contractor on per hour/per lane basis
- three new crossings across Thames built within 3 years, one with separate lane for HGV's at Sheerness->Isle Of Grain->Canvey Island, one at Northleet->Tilbury, one in Thamesmead->Dagenham.
- all international lorries, HGVs and buses upon entering must obtain VED sticker @ £50 a week or £200 a month to be displayed on front and back reg plates. Available at all crossings and petrol stations.
- all international cars and vans under 3.5T must obtain VED sticker @ £10 a week or £40 a month to be displayed on front and back windscreens. Available at all crossings and petrol stations.
- basic third party insurance added to price of fuel = no car on the road is uninsured regardless of driver.F&T + FC insurance addons still operated by third party companies.
- price of fuel frozen at average wholesale price x 2 (announced monthly).
- Heathrow gets permit for runway 3 (and 4). NIMBYs told to deal with it, airport was there when they moved in. No more decentralised airports or Boris Islands built in south east in this century.
- Stamp duty paid by seller (person receiving large sum of money), not buyer (person acquiring debt for the rest of their life). Stamp duty doubled if seller is syndicate/business, not private person/persons. Stamp duty x 5 if acquiring capital is foreign/registered abroad. Property ownership linked to National Insurance number. Persons buying and selling cannot be under receipt of unemployment benefits or will lose said benefit. National landownership tax established, set at 0 if property in active use/council tax and utilities paid, set to £1000 a year if property empty/no council tax and utilities paid. Properties not actively used for more than 25 years go to council for public use (schools, hospitals, health centres, teacher/nurse/retirement housing).
- Every M.D. in the country must do 8 hours a week for NHS centre of their choice, or lose their license.

Just some ideas. I sponsor the party until parliament election victory, then hand over leadership to a body of 5 leaders with equal rights. Then retire as a deranged millionaire somewhere in Cornwall.

thats all very well and good, but what about the main issue.. where do you stand on the legality of magic mushrooms?
 
I'd set up a business selling buttplugs shaped like various political, religious and historically iconic people.

I would go round the world micro-chipping every cat until all cats are micro-chipped then sell the "cat finder" app which would tell you in real time how far away the nearest cat is so you could give it a little stroke and what not.

Then once i've made billions from that, i would release the dog finder app and so on.
