If you won a £1,000,000, what would yo do with it?

Buy stuff for 500k.
Invest 500k into shares of some company I except to grow, eg. Tom Tom, google, shell, or whatever company I expect will be required for the next 20 years.

What I'd buy?
A nice home ( no more need for morgage :)), a nice car like the new Nissan GTR, or a BMW M5, Audi RS4, etc... No need for a supercar, just a nice fast comfy car for daily usage.

I'd digitalize my home, a lot of electronics and gadgets: Antiques etc not my thing, I'd prefer touchscreen LCD's all over my house instead.
etc... Even a nice toilet that cleans my bum automaticly after doing the big job, with nice warm water :D.

I'd use half of it as a deposit towards a really cool apartment, £250k in furnishing it and use the remaining £250k to purchase a Bloomberg Terminal and lots more braces and spend my days off work pretending to be Gordon Gekko on the markets.
 
I think you could live off the interest from that. Prob go travelling for a while til i get bored and then decide after.
 
Buy:
Z3M Coupe
E30 M3 for my dad
Ford Focus/volvo 480 and make it rwd v8
205 rallye(older one)
A nice acoustic guitar
new sff computer
hydraulic discs for my bike (mono minis)


Then bank it, and use it to help out, whilst still going to uni and getting the job I want..
 
This sounds lame but I would make sure my children never had any money worries, help my parents out, buy somewhere nice to live and give to various charities.

You don't need to pay tax.

Invest it off-shore. The £1m earns say 6% and you now have £1,060,000. You take out some of your capital, say £60,000, and leave the interest in the bank! Unless the interest is brought on-shore, you don't have to pay any tax as the original win is tax-free.

Right idea but wrong - you still have to interest on the tax - unless the interest is paid to an offsore company...
