Big Wednesday

Big Wednesday
The jackpot tonight is a mind boggling $25million.
We were discussing it and me and Mr Persephone being the sensible sorts that we are realised that we could probably get around one million a year in interest alone on that. We'd never need to touch the capital!!
It's so much cash that I can't even envisage having that much [but wouldn't say no if the numbers come up]
So, if by some amazing chance you win tonight, what would you spend the money on - or would you be sensible and live on the interest alone?
We would look at building a house and travelling the world first class of course Then get my parents over here for a long holiday, all expenses paid
After that, I'm not sure, I'd get bored if I didn't do some sort of work and there's only so much sight seeing you can do...

Re: Big Wednesday
We'd probably give most of it away - there's no fun being the only " Rich " in the village ( I imagine ! )

Re: Big Wednesday
We've got 3 kids and 2 godkids so would invest in their future, help out some people less fortunate than ourselves and bring our bestest mates 'home' (He's a Kiwi)
OH and have THE biggest party EVER

Re: Big Wednesday
- I'd take unpaid leave so I have somewhere to call "work" and go back to when I get bored
- I'd fly my familly n friends over here for a massive holiday/party.
- I'd travel the world: New Caledonia (Am french!!), Thailand, Japan, USA, South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, Finland and am sure I would find more... That's all that comes up right now...
- I'd build a nice house. Not too big though as I would not want to hire a housekeeper, just a weekly maid. But I'd have a big nice pool (indoor/outdoor)
- I'd buy a nice car, again not too big as it's not me!
- Ensure my familly is all well n cared for
- Charity perhaps
More to come!

-I was thinking more of doing locum work as then I could work as much or little as I wanted rather than get someone to leave my job open.
-My places: China, Nepal, Russia, Mexico, Patagonia, India, Namibia , Botswana, Japan, Alaska. Lots of others but these are where I'd start. Though not in that order
- Again I wouldn't like a huge house, there's only two of us and I wouldn't want us to lose each other in the house. I'm also not that into cleaning so big house=big dirt
-Fly friends and family over for a big holiday/party
-Charity but not sure what yet!
-CENTRAL HEATING!!!!
