I'd build my own private street, call it Manic Street, and then start a business involving supplying temporary evangelical priests, to cover absences and whatnot, just so I could call it Manic Street Preachers (this idea has always filled me with mirth, for some reason).

If I win, I will fund this project.
 
Dunno, the usuall charity and family gifts, to see everyone alright then a bit to my school coz its a piece of junk. Then build/renovate my own Scottish castle up in the highlands maby on an island somewhere with all mod cons and high tech but with that feeling/apperance of old style, just always fancied a big house but what could be better than a castle lots of gorgeous stone, couple of nice cars, a yacht nothing myself and a couple of mates couldn't handle ourselves though say 40-50 ft (been sailing a few long weekends up north and had the best time ever). Start my own buisness bit of custom engineering, or design you know build some really cool cars /machines ie batmobile the new one of course, whatever my imagination could come up with. Then travel the world, put right as many of my mistakes as i could and do what i never did when i had the oppertunity in the past.

So they get almost half taken away as income tax and national insurence instead? :p


you pay 22% on the first £31,500 you earn then above that its 40%on what ever else you earn.. if you earn 35k you only pay 40% on the £3500 extra
If i give them the half a million in cash the tax man take more . so paying them a wage is better for them they see more of the money.

Anyway. some one said who want 125 million anyway????? I bloody well do.. and i would use it I wouldnt give to any charity thats contacts me either.. ill contact them.

Isn't there a rule where you get a smaller amount if you take a lump sum, rather than payments throughout your lifetime or does it just apply to the US lottery?

Personally I'd give half to charity/friends then go on a world tour. That would be after going into work and annoying everyone in management. ;)
 
A Cine-quality HD camera, greenscreen rig, professional lighting rig, motion control set and track dolly capabilities, along with a monster system to edit it all on, with state-of-the-art software.
 
Stick £100M into an account that pays interest monthy, blow the remainder on the usual tripe and live happily ever after.

Edit: Buy a club, a pub, renovate the community building our gaming club meets in, maybe buy Games Workshop or a large share of it.

Buy OcUK :D

I'd buy a small island off the coast and turn it into an Airsoft area and learn to fly and buy a huge house for me and my gf and continue going to college and working part time, as it would get boring just lazing about till i die.
