Congratulations - you've just won the Euromillions

I'd be the most boring millionaire ever. I'd keep exactly the same car and possessions but would buy a larger house. I'd still work at the same place and keep running my business. I enjoy my job and colleagues and see no reason to quit and sit at home, buy crap and live a boring life.

I'd buy a car, but nothing massively ostentatious, a fully specced BMW 1 series or something similar, a house again nothing massive, I don't see the point in having 13 bathrooms or 23 bedrooms, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms would be plenty for me. I'd drop to my contract hours, but wouldn't quit my job, as long as they were happy for me to take time off for travelling and stuff like that

Pay off debts of people close to me, buy parents a holiday home, buy me a holiday home next to Nurburgring Nordschleife :D. Lots of bike trackdays

I'd spend it on (immediately):
family (free cash!)
snowboard holidays
Trip to new york (buy whatever I want :p )
A nice ~30k car with leather seats (nothing too powerful as I haven't driven since I passed my test)
another kayak
a DSLR (I'm a point and shoot noob but even then photos look very nice out a DSLR camera)

Later:
More holidays! (around the world with gf)
Make my own house on a nice plot of land


Threads like these always make me want to take up the lottery! :X
 
If it went bust, the creditors have those nice cars :D Run at a loss is a nice option maybe to counteract your income tax its all good, such is a rich mans life

What business would you set up (or buy out), what would your level of input be and why?

I'd setup a racing academy. Every year, any random muppet who pass boot camp tests gets to set a lap on progressively grander equipment until you get a potential for some racing league. You put them into bat and maybe run a small WRC team with your companies logo or something
my level of input, emperor over proceedings :p
 
Call me old fashioned but I'd invest in
My Brother to set up his own joinery business
My Cusin who hs his own Gym - just expand it a little more
I'd buy the local Swimming baths that were recently closed, flatten it and re develope it as a better pool and re open for the local community linked to to the above Gym

The the usual small house (Its only got to be for me at the minute), Either a Range Rover or Discovery of some sort, Caravan in North Wales, a reseonable gin palace of some sort for time down there. A monster PC of course.

And maybe as a one ish off a full on round the world cruise - just to say I've done it.

Pretty simple really nothing massively OTT, prob won't even scratch the surface of 20 mill that lot - maybe 1/20th at best

Though depends on long term running costs of said pool / total investments for the business.

Maybe also look to create some sort of proper young person club for them - give them something to do rather then turning to drugs, drink etc at a young age.

Then just live out the rest of life, very quielty and away from stress, doing and going were ever I want.
 
I'd go round the corner to imagination land and have fun and frolic in the colourful hills while making friends with all the wildlife and riding a unicorn over a rainbow as I see my wealth being guarding by lollypop leprechauns.










Yeah drugs
 
I see myself enjoying a few of the cars I've always dreamed of, sorting a house for me & the mrs, removing potential financial woes for my nearest and dearest...

Then I'd spend the rest of my life travelling the world, helping those I can... trying to get the greatest benefit from the money I've been lucky enough to win, all the while, having lived my wildest dreams simultaneously, helping people in the process.
 
Having just finished Log Horizon and waiting for SAO Season 2 to complete,

I think I will start the build of the full dive system, and make VRMMORPG a reality in this world.

Best Dream Ever. :D

I'm not sure if I would, I'd just enjoy life and help others to do so as well.
Any projects would be small scale things like buying and restoring cars, modifying cars, etc. Would probably pay someone incredibly experienced with working on cars to teach me the ropes as well.

I have to say when 'Acme' has said is pretty much exactly what I'd do. first of all I'd pay off my Mum and Dad's mortgage and then buy them a really nice house in whatever part of the country they wanted. I'd also buy them a few new cars, and make sure they had enough money in the bank so they never had to worry about the price of things again.
Then I think I'd buy myself somewhere really nice with a massive workshop/garage and then I'd want to start buying cars I've always wanted to own. I'd employ someone fulltime to do a full bare metal restore on every car I own (one at a time) while teaching me along the way. And I've live out my dad's in total happiness :D
 
Skipping the obvious first steps of paying off debts, giving to family etc. For the first few months at least I would go on holiday, travel to a few places, relaxing and planning out what to do with the rest of the money. I would buy some land and get a house built to my specifications though it would have to have a workshop area and big garage. After that I would probably just indulge my hobbies to a much higher level than I do now and just do things I think are cool but are too expensive for me to consider now.

As for any possible business, I only play the Euromillions when it gets high so wouldn't need a business but I would like to leave something behind. I don't think I would set out to start a business specifically but if a hobby grew into one then I would happily run it.
 
I'd buy a 5 bedroom house, then turn it into a Guinea Pig paradise for neglected and rescued Guinea Pigs. Get a bunch of people to look after them, keep it clean multiple times per day. I'd set it up in such a way that there were cool runs around the whole house etc.

It would be epic.

Then I'd just turn up and sit and watch them. lol


But er...also for a manly side project....
erm, nope I got nothing.


Oh - I'd buy the rights to Transformers. Then I'd commision the best writers who have a passion for it to write a new cartoon series. But for the animation, I'd get whoever does the latest Gundam (I haven't watched it but the animation is lovely).
 
I'd pack a bag and just literally walk around travelling and sleep in a different B&B/hotel every night. I'd alway make sure to carry 5k cash at all times to give to people I see in need etc.
