You win a £1,000,000...

[Bear]

40% property with lots of leverage to get as many as possible

Good idea 5 years ago - still a good idea? Not so sure!

10% towards nice house, car, long trip, plasma TV’s and ‘stuff’, would keep mortgage

£100k towards nice house and the other stuff - that's not going to buy much

[WindyAnna]

Pay off the debts we have, buy a couple of cars, let Mr Windy Anna give up work and do something he actually enjoys like building cars, carry on working but try to do less days a week, relax, contemplate buying even more cars, have a holiday, treat my parents, possibly buy more cars.

You’re right, it would be quite modest but for a deposit on a mortgage for an OK sized place (in London) and a nice car that isn’t too flashy it should be enough. A million isn’t a lot of money these days.

I'd not spend a single penny, otherwise I'd no longer be a millionaire.

Might have it in the house in £50 notes and roll around on it naked.

It's still a lot of money as long as you don't buy property with it. Most people could quiet easily live off the interest, which would be circa 62k a year before tax

Or £4.57 after tax in the forthcoming budget is applied.

South American Drugs & East European Women for me (or vice versa to make a wee change.)

I might be able to fit that into my tight schedule

One of my favourite lines from the Simpsons is when Mr Burns wins $1M, Mr Smithers asks him what he is going to do with it and he says

"I don't know, just throw it on the pile I suppose"
