Never played this before, was excited when I saw I had an email saying I'd won a prize. £2.90, yay. Had that exact same experience this morning. That brief moment of 'what if...?' as I log in. |

I'm another person who won £2.90.
In the bloody unlikely event I did win, I'd buy a detached house (most likely in the same street). I'd have the house decorated and have new thick pile carpets throughout. Quit my job. Pay for my kid's schooling up front and give the school some money. Quit my job. Relax. Go on holidays to all the places I want to see but can't afford. Give cash to family members and a couple of friends. I'd have a will written so my kids get an amount when we die and the rest goes to charity.
Mostly I just want to quit my job as I'm so tired of this never ending hell.

You people are crazy - sure, £10 million is "I wouldn't change much" kind of money, but £184 million is "build a self sufficient bunker to ride out the climate crisis and hire a private army to defend it when the shit hits the fan" kind of money.

I'd open gamingdave's emporium of fun.
Nightclub / gig venue in the basement.
Rehearsal spaces / fully equipped recording studio in the super secret extra basement.
Pub on the ground floor.
Arcade on the second floor.
Cinema on the third floor.
Roof terrace on the, er, roof with another bar.
Adjacent would be the skatepark and go-kart track.
Let unsigned bands use the recording and rehearsal spaces free of charge with full time staff of engineers and mentors. Small bands on during the week, big name unannounced acts on the weekend.
Rodger Reedpop would be bared, fontgeek could hire the space free of charge for the annual AGM.

I think we all know that in reality, it absolutely would change us. We just like to think we'd be above all that. |

If I won that kind of money I think I'd probably build a lab wherin I could make an 8 legged clone of myself. In my mind this clone would be able to run really fast but he'd probably just keep falling over and I'd have to have him killed.
Apart from that I just want a house that I own outright, not even anything mega fancy. Just a nice house, with some nice land, in a nice place.
Reading this thread has made me buy a lottery ticket for tonight, which I never do (I'm too pessimistic to enter the Euromillions Draw) so if I don't win, it's on all of you.

I've never played the lottery. It's too dystopian for me - giving the poor the dream of becoming part of the elite to distract them from the fact society is deeply unfair and designed to keep them poor

On the one hand your incredibly right, but iny the other hand I've spaffed 20 quid into the wind this week so I need to try and somewhat optimistic.
It would be cool to just become a film producer.
Just find a project that sounds interesting, then demand they shoe horn a giant mechanical spider into it.

You non indulgence people don't deserve to win.
I'd buy a castle with a moat and drawbridge. There would be crocodiles in the moat and working canons around the walls. It would have the best cinema room as well.

Parasite was Korean right, maybe a Korean production would capture the zeitgeist. |

I also won £2.90 \o/ As I opened the email I figured that if you'd won the jackpot they would manage it differently. If I'd read that I'd won £184 million while sitting on the bog I might have had a heart attack!! |

I'd want to get a nice house in or around the current area. Give some to family (grudgingly), and give some to golf club, rugby club and scout group.
I haven't thought too hard about it beyond that.

I'd have a room just dedicated to all the new amazing watches I've bought. A water slide from the top of the house leading to the indoor pool.
I'd have some on retainer that I can just shout at if I feel the need to.
Personal chef is a must.
My man cave would be a replica of the bat cave with a fuck off TV and every console in existence.

I'd have a new pair of trainers for everyday for the rest of my life. The old ones would then be put on display never to be used again.
I'd buy the Subway Southwest sauce recipe.

I'd go down in a blaze of glory in a private plane with a huge bag of coke and a bunch of prostitutes with me taking turns giving me head.
Money won't change me much.

I'd build replicas of the Hot wheels tracks and have Go Kart versions of each of the cars to use.

It has to be a custom designed house with a minimum of an indoor swimming pool, a bar/entertainment area and all the trimmings, a snooker room, a sex dungeon, a library/gallery, a couple of self-contained mini-houses detached from the main building for guests, some nice views and outside areas to appreciate nature as well as a roof top seating area, and a smoking room with air filtration system.

I'd make sure me and mine were okay and set for life, and then use the rest to be the most annoyingly superior, holier than thou eco/animal rights warrior for the rest of my life. Really wind up Mail/Express readers, that sort of guy.

Like buy Greenland so Trump can't have it, and then make some sort of Pilocene Park and fill it with mammoth and sabretooth tigers.
Spared no expense.

I'd buy the worlds most expensive single malts and bourbons then put out a youtube series where I find out whether they taste better with pepsi or coke. I'll follow that up with a restaurant series called Michelin Stars vs HP Sauce.
