Just sat pondering... lets dream for a while..... If you win 'BIG' tomorrow, whats the very 1st thing you would buy.?? My mate won 1.5million just 3 months after she retired and the first thing she bought was an expensive handbag she'd had her eye on for a while..!! (Then she bought a villa in Spain) :o) My first buy would be a bigger house..... definately.! Jackie x

A bottle of champagne to drink while I plan how to spend all of it....lol Bev

Holiday while I decide what to do with the rest!

ooooh....I love grandfather clocks...but i'd have to wait till i got the bigger house or i'd be sharing a seat with it...! Have you always wanted one?

A hand made pair of shoes - must be wonderful to have a pair that fit properly. Magsxx

I would buy myself a proper house instead of living in a sheltered housing flat....would also buy houses for the kids...i would also buy a car....

Another bike, probably a Ducati. Not too sure after that :)

Pinned on my cork board in the kitchen is a picture of 'my' car. It's a bright red 4x4. I'd buy that and a sporty car for hubby. I'd give the four 'kids' money to pay off their mortgages. Put money away for the two grandchildren. Buy ourselves a nice house in the country to retire in. Give some to my charity. Take the family out to a good hotel in London, in a stretch limo, have a slap up meal with champagne to celebrate. Oh what it is to dream.........................Jo.

Well....after they picked me up off the floor.......!!!!

I'd probably sit wondering for ages! My mind cannot take in how much 1 million is! Oh, I dont know!!!!OOOOH Now I'm all stressed out! Deanna

now ive got u all thinking... i wish u all good luck for 2moro. xxx (heres hoping) :o)

I don't think £1m would change you life all that much would it? Sure, it would let you pay off the mortgage and have a bit of spending money for a few years, but then what? A 5% return on that is only £50k/year, and of course once you give money to friends family, pay off the mortgage, you £1m quickly becomes much less so your return could easily be £25k/year. Surely you need about £3m to make a huge difference. £1m to 'distribute', and then £2m to invest and live off the return (£100k/year). Still not in the realms of the megarich or even barely rich, but £100k/year should mean that you can do most of the things you want and not have to work except for enjoyment..

Hi Greg, i dont think i would want it to change my life forever, cos im quite happy as i am, but even just the chance to live it up for a few year and buy the stuff you wouldnt normally dream of - that would do me fine. just being able to move into my dream house without worrying about the price, and having a new car rather than a heap. few holidays to remember with the kids - then back to normality.........sounds good to me. You sound like youve had your sums worked out for a while... lol :o) Jackie x

Yeah I have.. Sad thing is, I don't even buy a ticket!

Greg, after a life time of watching the pennies I can assure you, I'd still have 1,000,000 when I die! If what you say is correct and I'd have £50,000 per year......thats a fortune to us. We'd live on it and give plenty! No need to worry about it anyway.... I couldnt win an argument. Deanna :~(

Greg, just for the hell of it 2moro - buy a ticket and lets know how you get on - go on..! Then if you win you can do your sums for real .. lol Jackie x

The other thing, if you think about it, instead of buying tickets weekly, you should save it for a year and buy all your yearly tickets for one draw (different numbers for each ticket obviously). You will significantly improve your chances of winning (although please don't ask me to work out the percentages!) No chance of me buying a ticket. Don't have time, and would probably be too distracted by the chocolate bars!!

Straight to Gucci for an outfit then to the local pub to make sure ex hubby found out amnd saw how gorgeous the woman he let go is!!! :O)

Nice one Pink... that made me chuckle. x
