you win the euro millions tonight: your shopping list.

Gosh, where to start :D.

I'd like one of those white georgian houses in Chelsea for starters. I really like them. Such nice buildings. Car-wise, I'm not a fan of driving but I'd like a mini cooper. Sure not that expensive but I like them.

Of course, the best computer for gaming ever :D. Eating out often. Holidays. A steinway piano too. I think if I won, I'd spend most of my time having piano lessons and practicing as a constructive use of time.

Sounds good to me, I'll go check my ticket!
 
A nice place in Spain, I think leaving the UK would be the first thing to do. As for a car I would be looking for a DeTomaso Pantera GT5 but would also be looking for a couple of others like a Nissan GTR and maybe a Lambo.

It would just be odds and bits after that, new monitor, graphics card e.t.c

Bah, I can't even access my lottery account. Can't be bothered calling them either. How long does it take?

Takes about 5 minutes on the phone. I have had to ring them twice in the past when my account was locked. The only annoying part is when they ask you if you would like to answer a customer survey thingy so I just say no :D
 
Buy a large house in the UK and buy a nice villa on the coast of the south of France and split my time between the two.

I would possibly buy shares in Hull KR to become the majority shareholder and build a new stand (sad I know, but I'd do it).
 
I'd probably cry first
After that, celebrate a bit with my parents and plan what car I'd order in the morning.

Then usual, pay off bills and buy new properties and what not.
 
Buy a house for my parents close by. Pay off my brothers debts. Pay off my in-laws debts. Then time to party! Obviously a massive charity donation too.
 
* Massive plot of land to build a massive house on
* Build massive house
* Buy multiple houses/apartments and get a company to look after them/rent them out etc.
* Give loads of money to Charity regularly
* Buy a Private Jet and hire a Pilot
* Go to Vegas and have the best month of my life
* Travel the world
* Buy so many beautiful cars (but ultimately drive a Tesla as standard :p)
* Buy a House/Apartment in; California, Toronto, Vancouver, London and New York

There's so many more things I'd do as well :p

I would continue to work, but I would start my own company and work remotely.
 
My immediate shopping list would be kinda boring.

1 - Moving to where I want to live (to me this is massive)
2 - Private treatment for all my current health problems.
3 - Settling mine and my family's debts.

After a while would probably add the following.

1 - Build a ultimate PC or 3.
2 - Go on a cruise or 3.
3 - Invest in a new business and look into charities to help.

There would be the problem of how to deal with family, do you give them whatever they ask for like an ATM machine, do you hand out millions early on, do you pretend you havent won the jackpot. I can forsee problems where you get asked for money and you say no. A big problem I have had with my sister is since I have helped her with her debts, we have drifted apart and right now our relationship is on threads, and I think it all started from the money, the problem been she perhaps expected to not have to pay me back. So I can see the same treatment e.g. if she asked for me a million pounds and I said no.

If I brought properties I would vow to manage them myself, I know how much a horrible thing letting agents are, so I would have a personal relationship with my tenants, and not lump third party fees on them.
 
A plane ticket to Zurich, a bottle of 21 year old El Dorado and locate my fiance to celebrate. Plus the usual...
  • Property portfolio including a ski chalet in Europe
  • Learn to drive :o and buy a Mondeo as my first car :p (a silly rule I made years ago as if I bought anything fast, I'd be dead in weeks)
  • Find new homes for my HTPC and main rig, then build balls to the wall replacements
  • Set up savings/trust funds for family children
  • Give a fairly big chunk to charity short and long term
  • Help close friends and family accordingly
  • Make my mum/step father's retirement one not to forget (travel the world for the next couple of decades)
  • Keep the same wedding venue but upgrade various aspects
  • Travel the world with my fiance
  • I feel like I am cheating saying this.....buy my first FF camera (you'll always be my first - D5200)
  • Finish the remaining 3.5 years at my work and then retire
