What would you do if YOU won the Lottery?

I could probably write a long essay on this subject, but you may get bored. Firstly the lottery gives people the chance to win anything from £10 to quite a few million by purchasing a ticket for £1 at the newsagents or supermarkets; in fact you can now play and buy online. You chose your favourite numbers, or you can ask for a 'lucky dip' the computer will chose for you and if you are lucky you win.

I have won max £10, and not very often. If I won: -

Instantly book a holiday away for at least one month, this would enable me to think about what I would do for the rest of my life. I may ask my husband to come with me, depending on how good he has been lately (only joking)! I would include all of my immediate family.

Some of the things I would definitely do are pay off mortgages or debts for my close family. I would buy a nice bungalow for my elderly parents.
I would buy a house in the country and buy a couple of dogs and perhaps a few more cats.
Not a 'car' person but I think my husband would like a nice car and a Harley Davidson motorbike.
Depending on the actual winnings. I would make sure my family and I had enough to live comfortably for the rest of our lives. I would then help out my friends (true friends), 'not the all of a sudden' type.

I would help my friends by either paying a deposit for them to start on the property ladder. I may try and help towards the set up of a business for them. It would give me great pleasure to think I could change someone's life for the better.

I actually believe I personally would never win the lottery, statistically I have more chance of landing on the moon, but as they say 'If you aint in it, you can't win it'. I am therefore a faithful player for a Saturday night!

They play the lottery on a Wednesday and Friday (just testing I know it's a Saturday). You can purchase a ticket on line, which is easier, if you can't get out.

Good luck to everyone out there. Why not write a review yourself. It's great to hear what other people would do. There are so many generous people out there. If you have won the lottery and struggling to spend it please consider me (hahaha)!!!!!

Ending on a serious note. I wonder if winning the lottery can destroy dreams? Granted it can solve lots of problems, especially if one is broke, but remember the feeling of saving for a new dress or shoes or that new car or bike. I think some of us would miss this feeling. The pleasure of finding 'a bargain'. Would all of us be happy having it all 'on a plate'?

Summary: WOULD LOVE TO WIN IT BUT ENJOY DREAMING MOST
