Advantages: Could have practically everything you have ever wanted..

Disadvantages: Sometimes money goes to your head and you alienate people..

We all dream of it don't we.. We all buy a ticket in the hope of seeing all 6 numbers on the ticket matching the ones on the television or at the kiosk if you ask them to check your numbers.. Everyone buys a ticket in the vain hope that the next day you will be spraying champagne around your living room in celebration of your big win..

Ok so the lottery sort of falls under two categories, there is the national lottery draw with the numbered balls and then there is my favourites scratch cards, however personally I think scratch cards are just evil. Scratch cards range from £1 to £5 in price and the more expensive the more money you can win.. Just like that lucky lady who won a million just recently..

Ok so if I won the lottery (which is highly unlikely unfortunately) depending on how much I got it would be split slightly differently..

Well the only way we all want to win is either 5 balls and the bonus or all six numbers..

Okay so we will go for an estimated £15 million maybe?

~ Donations~

I would take about a million of that and divide it up between a few different charities that are quite close to my heart..
Namely animal charities because I will be damned if animals are going to die.. I hate those adverts especially with the little puppies that have been abandoned.. I love animals therefore they would get a big lump of cash..

Great Ormond Street Hospital, would get a lot of money because one of my friends little boys was treated in there and the work they do is so fantastic, it is such a difficult time for the families and they just make things so much more bearable, like having beds to stay with the children. All the nurses are so lovely, it would just be nice to reward them for their hard work..

There would be various disease charities that would get a nice packet heading there way, because I figure I'm not the only person that would like to see the back of cancer? Almost everyone knows someone or has been affected by it.. Its time to eradicate it and id like to be able to help them achieve that! Diabetes UK would get a share, also the charity for Deaf/Blind children would be receiving a share, because I can't even begin to comprehend living life without being able to see or hear and giving them money to help would be a great honour.. NSPCC, definitely because even after all this time there are so many children in danger and scared for their lives, something needs to be done..

~ Good Deeds ~

I have to say the next thing on my list would be to go out to Africa and other places with rare animals to help preserve their habitat and keep the species going, especially Tigers, Pandas and many many other animals.. I want my grand kids to be able to see a Tiger and an Orang-utan alive and free..

I would help my local area renovate and look a little more approachable to visitors, because currently Boston in Lincolnshire hasn't got the best reputation.. I think also the money I got I would have to help my old teachers son get a better wheelchair because he has cerebral palsy and these things don't come cheap!!

~ Things for me ~

A house for me and my boyfriend..
A decent holiday (Haven't been on holiday since 2003!!!)..
A round the world trip..
Some very nice cars.. (Think Porshe, Pagani, Bugatti.. Then more normal cars for during the week.. VW Golf GTI, Audi A3..)
On second thoughts I'll need a big garage!
I'd take my friends on a very big holiday..
SHOP! SHOP! SHOP!.. (of course for anything and everything I've always wanted..)

Of course the list of things would go on and on and on and on..

ISA's, and interest to live off once I have bought all the lovely things I want..!

Family and friends would definitely we well catered for..!

Actually you know what I would set up a new review site, that pays well don't really know why but I just like the satisfaction of making people happy!!

Summary: Get rich without really having to do anything!!!
