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.
 
Me? Give lots of money to various family and friends (perhaps more to family :p) and then find me a nice house and a car to buy.

Not sure about the rest really.
 
Buy a giraffe! :)


(name the movie)


I'd try to keep my life much the same as it is now. Obviously my house will undergo some serious maintenance (repair the pool, get new power tools, etc.) Otherwise just do some travelling.
 
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.

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

You don't pay tax on lottery wins as far as I know.

The best way to give money to a family/friend is to put it in an offshore bank account for them. Tax man cant touch it then!
 
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.
