      Give a wad to family and friends, leaving about 7.5 Mill.

      I already have an agreement with my best mate that if either of us won a large amount on the lottery we'd buy each other a motorbike of choice.

      Nissan GTR in stealth black, and a Nissan Juke for the wife, her needs are simple. Expect she'd want a
      Honda CBR600RR as well.



      Build a new home in Devon, or possibly the New Forest, sod it make that both.

      New garage at the gaff in London.

      Gig a little, travel some too. One of which would be touring the US on a motorbike for a month or 2.

      Come back and retire :-) well actually probably not.
      Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

          I would invest it. I would buy a house with a mortgage and pay that, as well as fund purchases of cars and so forth, with the income generated.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            There's nothing I need materially, so I would invest it with the rest of my wedge.

              Leave the vast bulk of it in a Euro account for a few months then decide. I'd invest first though, like I do with my pay on well-paid contracts.

              What I'd spend it on is likely to include a modest property, renovation and sale of this one, uni, exams, courses and assisting a community organisation I'm a member of with conversion and renovation of their properties.

              I think I would still work. Bench time is pretty miserable even when I've had funds.

                WTF didn't realise Nissan made such great looking and performing cars, 3.8 V6 twin turbo.
                OR
                WTF are you buying a Nissan for when you have £10mill in the bank.

                Nissan £56k ish, I could never justify hundreds of £k on Ferrari etc...

                Perhaps an Audi V10 R8 but still too expensive.

                  I'd get a Nissan or other Japanese car, though somthing cheaper to buy and run and not so sporty. It would also be in black.
                  £1000 million I'd upgrade to a helicopter, also in black.

                      You should blow it on a personality. A £10M one ought to just about make up for your other inadequacies.
