Advantages: Could easily fulfill a few dreams

Disadvantages: Too much money that i would know what to do with.

I'm assuming with this review we are talking about a few million and not just a £10 win. So i'll go with the same amount as a few other people have, £3 Million. Obviously all the generic stuff will come first.

Straight off the mark, i'd pay off all my student debts and pay for my tuition for th enext 2 years, because i'd want to finish my degree instead of just living off a lottery win for the rest of my life. Then, in the same vein, i'd pay off all mine and my flatmates house rent for the year, helping others and all.

A new car would follow soon after, maybe a few actually. I'd probably go for an Audi A4 as well as either an Aston Martin Vanquish or DB9 or maybe an Audi R8. Insurance for that would create a small dent in my fortunes.

Family stuff comes next, i'd pay off any debts my family has and give them a few hundred grand to invest in their business. I would offer them a new house maybe but i don't know whether they would want it. A new car for them would be on the cards as well, due to my Mum recently selling hers because it was too expensive to run.

After i've bought all this stuff I would feel the need to celebrate, so a massive night out with my best friends would be conducted, on me of course.

Now for my biggest dream of all, a round trip of the World. I'd take a year out of University and travel all around teh globe, after buying myself a nice, expensive SLR camera. I would meet hundreds of different people from different cultures, and complete my "Places I must see before I die" list. this includes the Pyramids of Giza, Great Wall of China, North African Rift Valley, Mount Everest, Great Barrier Reef, Macchu Pichu and the Amazon Rainforest.

After all this was completed I would finish off University and buy a personally built house for a few hundred grand. I might get a holiday home in Turkey or Spain as well. The rest wouldgo in a savings account, with about £1 Million being put towards future children. I'd be able to live very comfortably, with a job that I love and not having to worry about it's salary. A few more round the World trips would occur as well.

I'm not really that greedy a person to be honest, I don't know if I could actually spend £3 Million by myself, and all i'd want is to make sure my children have a good future and fulfill a few personal dreams and make life easier for my family.
