3. Pay off all the mortgages of the younger members of my extended family, some of whom are really struggling right now.
4. Pay for my son to start his own business.
5. I would start a project to build housing for homeless people. I hate that in an Alpha + city like this you can still see people - and families- living on the street. It's obscene.
6. I would also make emergency housing for victims of domestic violence.
As for the rest I would donate it to charity and for wildlife welfare.

Re: What a win – no problems ever for these two!
I would give every penny away to my daughter and two granddaughters...I've always had enough money to do what I want, and if I haven't done it, it's probably not because I couldn't afford it....In fact, I don't even do the lottery and never will.27-11-2019, 12:04 PM

Not bad, I'd demand to see it all in actual notes, just to make sure it really exists, then, I buy a Supadoopa Vault, stash it all in there, employ highly paid Security Guards, then make random audits, to make sure all balanced with my Spreadsheet.

Re: What a win – no problems ever for these two!
I know Adrian Bayford who won 148 million on the Euromillions a few years ago. He used to have the music shop on the High Street in Haverhill with his wife Gillian and I used to have a good chat with him on a Saturday when I was out and about.They say money doesn't change people ... yeah right
Since he won all that money, he has become a complete tw*t and taken advantage of a lot of people in his own hometown. I saw him about a year ago and spoke to him but he was a totally different person and I wish I hadn't have wasted my time to be honest. I'm not jealous of him one bit, I'm not exactly short of cash myself but when you are lucky enough to win that kind of money, there is a lot of positive things you can do and promises you can make. Unfortunately for some people, those promises are soon short lived and the money becomes more important than people.I hope this guy who has just won the 105 million uses the money wisely and remembers where he comes from and who helped him on the way up.
Good luck to him anyway, he seems like a decent sort of bloke

Re: What a win – no problems ever for these two!
Isn't it wonderful! I really love it when someone 'ordinary and hard-working' wins the Euro Lottery, (especially if it is a UK winner). I'm sure it's something we all dream about, unfortunately, not much chance of me ever winning as HWMO and I gave up doing the Lottery many years ago.I wish this couple and their three children all the best for the future. They seem like a very nice family.

I think there's a few spare steaks in the freezer and if you prefer seafood we've got the biggest ocean on the planet just a click away. We can go fishing as well!.. But I'd leave it until Autumn. There will still be plenty of sunshine but not too hot and the bushfires and smoke might have eased a bit by then. The other $90?..Oh I'm sure I'd find a use for it if I gave it some thought.(PS. I don't have a pounds Sterling key on my board. )

Re: What a win – no problems ever for these two!
Never 8n a million years would I go public with a lottery win. I couldn't deal with the begging and hardship letters.Of course it would change our lives, we.d retire for a start then see our family looked after. If I had that sort of money i.d see my friends right too! Get in line, first come first served lol
Ahhhh to dream of making other people happy is a wonderful dream indeed
