What would you spend a 161M lottery win on

Been dreaming about this. Just for fun

I would do something like.

Start a film production company and start making movies.
Start a small Hedge Fund and employ some market whizz-kids.
Start a computer games company.
Open a Man Vs. Food greasy unhealthy type diner.
Open a restuarant.
Buy and refurbish run down flats and sell them.
Buy some land and start growing organic crops.
Buy a decent house in the country and build a chef grade kitchen.
Make some outrageous bets on the betting exchange.
Maybe order the new Ferrari F12.
Maybe buy a BMW SUV.
Maybe give some to charity.
Spend a lot of time cooking.

A house.

Open an old style Amusement Arcade with 90s video cabs, pushers and pinball machines, I wouldn't care if it was profitable or not.

Eighty million Euro Lotto lucky dips and half of Yorkshire

e: Serious answer - fully fitted mancave basement, including hydrophilic lift to park my Aston Martin underground. Wouldn't move house tbh, would buy apartments in a few choice European locations

Maybe pay someone to search on here for the long running Euromillions topic and post in there, where this stuff gets posted all the time the jackpot gets big

Step 1: Build a big garage with a little house attached
Step 2: Buy cars
Step 3: Build stupid cars
Step 4: Enjoy the cars
Step 5: Go to step 2.

Why pay when you could get it done for free?

I'd split it with JaffaFar. I think he needs it.

RomanNose · 18 Jul 2013 at 10:45

Ball pit in my house.

Azza · 18 Jul 2013 at 10:45

Premium bonds, lots of them.

Busa · 18 Jul 2013 at 10:51

I would like to buy Overclockers UK and the first thing i would do is retire the majority of the mods on here

ic1male · 18 Jul 2013 at 10:57

Give some to Kenneth Johnson so he can make his sequel to "V" and then buy houses for all my family. I'd be off on a round the world trip.

Is next win 161£M?

Glaucus · 18 Jul 2013 at 11:00

Somehow convert it into billions and become a philanthropist.
Although if I ever won a large sum of money, I would always buy a load of houses as security, so many people somehow waste all there money and go broke.

Wazz-1 · 18 Jul 2013 at 11:00

I would spend it all on Fags, beer and dirty women

So you'd buy loads of property and then pay yourself rent for it?

Whatever rocks your boat I guess

I'd go to Norway and buy a pint, then spend the next few years paying off the loan needed to pay for it

Travel to countries I've always wanted to visit.
A nice house (possibly in one of the countries I visit!

).
Make sure my friends and family are all nicely taken care of.
Watch a fair amount of F1 races.
Give a lot of it away, leaving enough to live comfortably.
Eat a lot of steak.
