So you've just won £10million on the lottery. All legit. You login to your internet banking and the funds are sitting in your account.

Describe your next 24 hours. "Buy Ferrari, house" etc is rubbish as even if you place an order, it'll be with you a few days later.

So, what do you really do in the first 24 hours? Make a cup of tea? Take a poo? Go to the most expensive restaurant you know? What exactly?
 
Phone work tell them I'll be unavailable for the foreseeable future, then probably just sit and figure out what to do for a while and tell my housemates I'll be buying them and their little one a house.
 
Contact the local press. Ensure I'm front page news. Have a poo. Sit back and watch myself on the evening news showing off my massive cheque and knowing all my friends will be as jealous as hell. Have another poo.

Then see all old acquaintances come crawling out the woodwork wanting to be your best friend. I'd keep it private personally.
 
Start researching wealth management options, calculate how much interest I can blow without touching the £10m and to celebrate, go out for the most lavish dinner I can find in London at short notice :D

Na, Ferrari first, then turn up to one last day at work but in the Ferrari. Then leave in it shouting "see you later suckers", whilst throwing some cash out of the window.

You can keep the Ferrari, I'll do it on a Ducati Superleggera instead.
 
Tell work my notice is going in.
Book a big family holiday.
Start thinking how I can help friends and family out
Start looking how I can invest the money to make more
Start looking for voluntary work / local project to get my teeth into now I have no work to go to.
 
Pay off mortgage. Consider slightly reduced hours at work but probably wouldn't change it. Consider paying off parents debts.

Yes that's a good point. I'd be surrounded by sycophants wanting handouts.

To be honest, If I won that kind of money I'd split it between myself, my parents and my sister.
 
After the whole process of verifying and receiving the funds, I would walk into work (assuming it's a weekday) and tell my boss that I will hand over all my work and that today is my last day.
Then I will consume beer and pizza whilst I put the house up for sale and get looking at property or land.
