[Lee.]

and build a big tank in garden and get a great white shark.

[superchris0110]

Buy Portsmouth football club and quickly sell it on... just so I can claim I've owned a premiership football club

[duncan]

Or dissolve the club so you can be the only owner to close a Premiership club in the middle of the season

[DC]

i'd buy a tvr tuscan, what i've always wanted. after that i'd probably have a breakdown not knowing what to do with it all.

[Chippy]

I would buy Unofficial Mills and run it into the ground!

Kidding, I'd get a pony.

[DarkAngelMJH]

I'd buy a house with land to build stables on, move my horse and my mates horses on there and maybe rescue some. After that I'd go on a lovely holiday!

[E*F*4L]

spend some of it trying to woo Edith or Fearne

now on a more serious note,

first thing i would do is get one million in cash put it in a case fly to Switzerland with my financial advisor & put it in a bank (just in-case i ever run out).

house on one of them palm tree islands in Dubai, house in Hollywood Hills, a apartment in Tokyo (Japan somewhere anyway) & a place in Monaco.

Lamborghini LP640, Bugatti Veyron Grand-Sport, Rolls Phantom Drophead, Pagani Zonda.

invest in some property commercial & residential (around universitys).

buy some stock in defense companies, banks, aviation, oil, green tech, tech companies (Apple, M$, Intel etc) & other blue chips.

[Timsk]

Give immediate family a mil each, another 1 to charities close to heart and then take a few months off while working out where we wanted to live (and work - I'd still want to) with the rest...

[E*F*4L]

Oooo if you gave away a mill to a family member the taxman would be very happy, you cannot just give away money like that unless you pay tax on it, best way is to buy their house off them & let them live in it for free & things like that.

i would just enjoy spending my way through it

[Timsk]

Very true Alan, though as it's essentially 'free' money (and so much of it) would paying the tax be so very bad...? It's not like I'd earned it.

[E*F*4L]

true, but why give it to the taxman, better to sell up & move the family to Australia /Canada etc & draw the money from offshore

a very important lesson with regards to money !

[Nik B.]

Set up my family so they're ready for anything, Then move to America and have a very special house built to my own specification, all rounded off with a Lambo Gallardo Superleggera in exactly the shade of blue I want. Then rest on my laurels.

[Tom.]

56 million and 20 pence...

[Bexprincess]

That 20p makes all the difference!

[superchris0110]

Or dissolve the club so you can be the only owner to close a Premiership club in the middle of the season

Haha that's certainly another way of looking at it :hahaha:

[Chippy]

joonnnoooo how much would you sell UnofficialMills for?

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

that 20p that makes a difference?

[Nik B.]

it's the difference between lucky and greedy.

[Tom.]

They went on about the 20p...

[augusta92]

Why not give some of the money to the taxman?

Or dont you or your family ever use any of the services provided by taxes? things like Schools, hospitals, firestations, policemen etc

Its an amazing amount of money and they do sound like lovely people so good luck to them.

[John]

I'd buy a run down house (already seen the one I want actually). I'd decorate it to a high standard and sell/rent it on. Then i'd do it again with another house.

THEN... i'd buy some old VW Camper van shells. I'd restore them to their former glory and sell them on... but i'd have to have one for myself

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Why not give some of the money to the taxman?

Don't we already give enough? and I don't know about elsewhere but here it seems that service from the council, police etc is continually substandard. A lot of tax money around here gets wasted needlessly.

To answer the main question, I'd buy an aardvark sanctuary.

[Ratscallion]

Seeing as I can't buy the lottery yet... My mum would probably (with some gentle full persuasion from me) we'd half it, and donate that to charities, then split it off to family and whatnot.. We'd end up with about 15mil left. Divide by 5 (my home family) gives us all 3 million.

I would then get this, and go crazy in an Apple store. iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook pro, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPAD.. I'd upgrade my DropBox to the highest, just so all my data's synced...

Then get super TVs, (HD, Flat screen, etc), super Internet (50+mb/s.. Fibre optic), far too many external hard drives for my own good, a couple of brilliant cameras/camcorders (with appropriaate huge SD cards).

Xbox Live, few years of that.. Basically, I'd just kit everything out!

We'd also move house, somewhere huge. And get a nice long holiday in the Summer.. (With WiFi!)

[Bexprincess]

that 20p that makes a difference?

I was being sarcastic.

[Ratscallion]

I was being sarcastic.

It would make a difference.. If Freddos were still 10p... :/
