| Sorry if a thread like this has been done before, but I think it's always interesting to see what people would do.
For this example, let's say you've won 10 million pounds, Euros, dollars etc.
I'd personally not go overly crazy on the spending. I'd buy a house for me and my girlfriend for around £200,000 and I'd buy myself a new car, I'd probably go for a Honda Civic as I think they look mint these days.
Secondly, I'd split £1m between the four members of my immediate family and pay off my parents mortgage. I'd then give £100,000 to my Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents.
I'd donate £200,000 to my cricket club and I'd also buy the land we play on. I'd demolish the current buildings and make a two storey fitness centre that would double up as our pavilion which would probably cost around £200,000 to build and maybe £100,000 to fully furnish/decorate. The fitness centre would be a way to keep money coming in.
So far I think I've spent around 3 million. I'd donate some money to charities to help improve other people lives but I'd keep most of my money in a savings account and live off the interest.

| If I won $10,000,000 I'd give half to my mom, rent out a house,buy a fairly cheap car but still nice, set aside enough for college and then save the rest. |

| First off i'd pay my bands studio bill. Then pay the pressing of the album/start my own little record label. Then fund our tour.
Buy the last music gear i want. Buy a house in either canada, UK or Germany and build a recording studio there. Save the rest for living expenses so i would never need to work with something else than my hobbies. |

| If I won the euro millions lets say £150 million, I'd buy an Audi R8 for when I'm 17, a fully professional fingerboard, a BRR park, donate a million to charity, and save the rest for when I need it. Obviously I'd give a bit to my family too |

Fixed But yeah, I'd split half of it into a separate bank account to sit there gaining interest, then leave it for inheritance The rest, I'd just buy whatever the fuck I feel like buying I guess, haha. I'd probably spend £1 million on lottery tickets just for the sake of it. |

| probably a bunch of things for myself at first - everyone who says they wouldn't be materialistic and have a shopping spree at first.. balls to you I'd spec up my PC a bit and get a 27" monitor Buy a decent 35mm lens and a rode mic Buy a new skateboard Buy a few hoodies, skinnies, and hats from American Apparel. Get another pair of es square twos Then buy a smallish cottage somewhere just outside Bristol near a tiny wooded area (bath direction, it's pretty that way)and build a concrete miniramp outside (4ft, not too steep, reaaally chill), a mini skatepark (just a box and a bank or something), and an outdoor fingerboard park. Then a really nice patio to chill on and have barbeques and stuff. Then pay off my mum's mortgage and buy her a house, and buy a giant bag of horse shit to be placed on my dad's front door. Then buy a van similar to an old VW campervan except one that actually works, pimp it out with a bed and a mini fingerboard plaza. And learn to drive obviously. Then I'd go on tour to all events around europe in my van and get to enjoy something I've always wanted to do - drive along a motorway in the sunset listening to some really nice tunes. THENNNNNN.. Buy a cafe in Bristol somewhere and start a fingersized cafe/fingerboard shop. and somewhere in that hope I could convince anna to come back to england and that's probably leaving a few million left to put in the bank and live off. To quote sheldon from TBBT - "It occurs to me all your problems in life could be solved if you had more money" |

| If i won $50,000,000 I would firstly give 1 million to each close family member. -$6,000,000 I would then go on a bit of a spending spree. Buy some new clothes, electronics, furniture etc. - $50,000 Buy an old cottage on a lake somewhere in the UK. (Near Kerry's cottage so I can stalk him). Then pimp it out (sorta) with new furniture, new floors, and maybe get a boat for the lake. - $300,000 Buy my parent a 35 foot yacht so they can sail around the world. ( Their life long dream ). Also I would pimp it out with some modern furniture and accessories. - $250,000 Get a house somewhere in the UK or Ireland with a mini backyard skatepark. - $500,000 Put the rest in the bank for intrest and inheritance. |

| At first, I would probably blow like 100g's on like a car, a bunch of basses, bass cabs, blu rays. Then I would buy a pretty nice house (in U.S. or Australia) with a big backyard and a basement. Build a skatepark and get a swimming pool. I would give 1 million to my sister and 1 million to my parents. I would then put the rest in the bank and live off of it.

| I would buy both my parents a nice house and pay off all my dad's medical bills, also buy them new cars for us all to fit in. I would give 100,000 to family members that I actually appreciate, and not the ones that don't deserve it because they've never been there to support us it seems. After my aunts and uncles got their money, I would put it into multiple banks, because I don't think you can have more than a certain amount in one bank here, so yeah. After that, I think I'd mess around in the stock trade for a while, and see where it leads me. I would also buy all my closest friends a nice gift. I would make it a priority to fly out and meet everyone of my good friends from this forum and shake hands with them. I don't want to live the high life, so I would just move into a decent 1-2 bedroom apartment later in life (18 or so) and just live comfortably knowing that I have no worries because I can fix most anything with a little $$. I don't care what anyone says, this world runs on more money than love. My dad buys a lottery ticket pretty much every other day so you guys can expect something great soon
