You've just won £10million. It's in your acccount. Tell me your next 24 hours.

I'd sit a cry... Seriously, the pressure from always being **** poor broke getting taken off my shoulders would be immense.
 
Yes, the overwhelming relief that comes from the realisation that you don't need to work again would take some getting over for me, that is probably the biggest plus from a lottery win from my perspective.
 
You know at the start of Duck Tales where Scrooge McDuck takes a dive into a vault full of golden coins?

Yeah.
 
Phone work to tell them I quit with immediate effect due to coming into huge sum of money. Then probably go for a few pints and celebrate, anyone asks I'll just say I won some cash on a scratchy, no one needs to know that I'm a millionaire. Next morning I'll probably set about putting an offer down on a nice big house I know that is for sale locally. After that probably get some wealth management sorted so I can live off the interest without touching the capital. Probably pay my sister's mortgage off too.
 
And to stop me getting board I'd plan some traveling trips, find some new hobbies, and do some volunteer work when it suits. Whoever says you need to work wise you go mental is absurd.

Indeed. If you can't keep your mind busy with the endless possibilities open to you as a millionaire then frankly you should just go stick your head in an oven anyway and get it over with.

Whoever says you need work in your life to stay sane either has an agenda or is completely bat**** crazy.
 
Call in sick from work and sit and talk to my wife, parents and in-laws about the future. I'd still like to work, though almost certainly go part time until I complete my training.

Also, head over to Overclockers shop and buy an Intel i9, couple of 1080Tis and nice monitor.
 
would sit at home with a very good bottle of single malt and start to plan things ,would give up work but would miss people i work with and the exercise (so maybe do something in community ect ,exercise easy to sort out)
would keep this house ,the location is too stunning to give up ,but get another in newquay on the gannal side as i go there afew times week with my mut for his swimming therapy.
decide how much to give family
im already worrying if i could get a 911gts (not sure if i would get turbo s) down my bumpy unmade road would definitely
order front axle lift (the 911 997 gen 2 is on my pension lump sum(edit ,wish list not probable) list when im 55 ,not long)

Completely agree but I'd say sad and with no imagination. I can quickly fill my day when not working.
I'm sure sometimes it's because people are married and cant put up with their partner 24/7 :D
 
1. Hand in notice.
2. Put the lifetime allowance into my private pension.
3. Buy a couple of retirement flats.
4. Rent a villa somewhere hot for a month
5. Start my own business with what's left, I need to work despite not needing to.
6. Pay for my Nephews University Fees.

All that in the first 24 hours?

I'd probably just stay at home, smiling profusely.

Well nos 2,3 & 5 cant be done in 24 hours - 1,4 & 6 would be a priority. Also I would consider upgrades to Home Cinema & Coffee setups, Newer car would be a possibility too, nothing too flash as I would not want my enemies to know of my sudden wealth.
 
  1. Put in max contributions of mine and my partners SIPP
  2. Max out ISA allowances
  3. Pay off mortgage
  4. Pay off my brother's mortgage
  5. Pay off varying student loans
  6. Go to work drop off my stuff and walk out. Hopefully without saying a word.
  7. Go by the BMW dealership place and order for an X5, walk across to the Merc dealer and place an order for an E class estate.
  8. Setup limited company for business venture
  9. Arrange some holidays
  10. Arrange meeting with a tax expert
  11. Sit down and discuss the future with the misses.

That should all be fairly do able in 24 hours, minus the manic laughing.
