Winning The Lottery
If your numbers were to come up, would you stay where you are?

Yes, I'm already in my dream house. Although I'd also buy an apartment in NYC, a small villa in the south of France, and a ski chalet in Chamonix.

I would by a fancy new Jeep, a lawn tractor get the carpets replaced with wood, get a new bathroom, flat screen tv, several Radley bags, oh and i wouldd buy the next door neighbour's house to get rid of them.

I'd treat myself to a Pitt Special, an aerobatic aircraft.

Nope, would buy a handful of centrally located apartments in European centres, a nice boat, and do lots of high-end travel. Luxury train journeys are particularly appealing. May have to go out and waste some money on a ticket now, thanks OP.

Re: Winning The Lottery
Yup but we'd probably demolish this house and build a big one, and also buy the neighbours quarter from him.

I won a car once but had nothing to chauffeur it.

Re: Winning The Lottery
Anytime i've won any amount on the lottery (from a tenner to a couple hundred) i've reinvested my winnings in other lottery tickets... even with the jackpot, I fully expect to do the same as the next prize could always be bigger...
