If I won the lottery I would still be going.....lifestyle it is! If it doesn't work out....tough luck at least we've tried it...you know...better regret the things you've done than the things you didn't do.....it's all in my signature! And you...what would you do?

Go for definate, if you were loaded it wouldn't be an issue to fly back and forth first class every few months to see family and friends...maybe I should go and buy a lotto ticket for tonight's draw

The only difference it would make to us is we would take longer to travel there, plenty of stop offs and it would be First Class all the way
OH won on the Euro millions last night but I don't think the £19 will go very far

We have asked ourselves this question many time and our answer will always be the same ...... We'd stay!!!! If you won the lotto you could have the best of both worlds. 6 months in UK/Ireland the other 6 months traveling!!!

That's a good one too, although with kids it won't be that easy. But if it was just me and OH this could be an option too

As Sallyclaire said - we'd be on the next flight! Seriously though, winning the lottery would just bring our plans forward they wouldn't change them. Although we'd do things a little differently once we actually arrived.

Same here! First available flight, then trundle off out of Aus for a week or two to somewhere idyllic for when visa would be granted.

Oh yes indeed! Much less stress if money is not one of your worries

I'd be on the first available flight and not be worrying about how much we can sell the house for.
