Take three weeks on some remote Greek island to let it sink in...

Nice one, the only problem is you family gets very big when you win I bet... :P

Where in Israel Bobby and is it those big square looking Merc's like the ones off Miami Vice...?
 
First thing after checking the ticket-
Check it again and again all night long, sleep with it under my pillow and never let it out of my sight. I'd not tell anyone other than the misses as well.

First thing after getting the big check-
Assuming the moneys in the bank when I get this novelty sized thing? Start to work out with the misses how much we'd give to our families to help them out... so like a chunk to each of our parents and then a bit to out brothers/sisters. The first thing I'd do with it is buy a surprise trip to the Grand Canyon for the girlfriend as she's always had a fascination with it and has never been there.

First thing you always said you would do if you won-
I don't think I've ever said 'I would do this if I won' but it would probably be to buy a lovely home and start pumping out kids.

Do you quit your job-
I don't work but the misses would probably leave her job

First car you splurge on-
A dodge Viper - blue with white stripes down the centre.
http://www.autocity.com/img/actualidad/galerias/Dodge_Viper_SRT10_Coupe_31_2.jpg
I can't drive but it was always my favourite caw on Gran Turismo 1 and 2 and then they removed that blur/white variety from GT replacing with with some crappy red and white one. :R1:SICK:

Where would you live-
My knee jerk answer would be somewhere sunny and warm abroad but then I don't know if I want to be out of this country and away from my family that much. I'd probably stay in the UK.

Where else would you buy a holiday home-
Anywhere warm and sunny - I'd let the misses decide.

First big Holiday/Travel-
Other than the surprise grand canyon trip, i have no idea. I've never been abroad anywhere so ive not got much of a reference.

What would you change about yourself (snip,snip)-
Erm... probably sort my teeth out, they're not 'redneck' bad but they could be better. I don't think there is anything else 'wrong' with me.

What else not listed is up there on your prority list-
Ohhh I'd make sure whereever we lived we had a big games room built with arcade cabinets, a pool table, a bar etc and have another room with a huge tv, a super surround sound speaker system and all the bells and whistles where i can sit and play video games.

Oh and I'd probably throw Newcastle united a million and tell them to use it to sign some super footballer on a year contract with that as his full years wage.
 
I dont really do it much im in a whatsit at work and the Mrs gets me a ticket now and again. I only bet maybe once a year.
 
Lol Rad I'd give you a week in a Dodge Viper if you don't drive now..well even if you do drive, it will wrap you round a tree quicker than a pro's legs.

I've always wanted to see the GC too, people always say it's always comes as a surprise the vastness of it...
 
First thing after checking the ticket-
Check it again and again, then probably ring up so I can actually claim the money...

First thing after getting the big check-
Go for a pint down the pub =D
I'll get the first round...

First thing you always said you would do if you won-
No idea.

Do you quit your job-
Nah, gotta stay humble really. Might buy the shop though =p

First car you splurge on-
Well I guess with 38 million, you'd have enough to get one Veyron and not make a sizeable dent in your funds

Where would you live-
Vancouver, Canada.

Where else would you buy a holiday home-
Banff, Canada
Seattle, USA
Malibu, USA

First big Holiday/Travel-
Probably go to the Rockies in North America and Ski to my hearts content, take my mates and family along. Or Russia and Asia, 'cause I really wanna see that part of the world.

What would you change about yourself (snip,snip)-
Not a lot hopefully, if I changed I'd alienate my mates and end up with plastic friends. I'd definitely make sure a sizeable portion would be spend helping them out and going on holidays and such.

What else not listed is up there on your priority list-
Not much I don't think.

I know which family and friends I am going to give it to. Nobody else!! trouble is the misses has a big family and they are all close, so that might be a bit of a problem.

Tel Aviv :)) its near where the misses family live. Its a fantastic city.

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C04233?pt=pf this is the sort of one. I just love how it looks. Maybe in red though :))
 
So you're checking your tickets and find you have won £38 million on the Euro what do you do...


First thing after checking the ticket-

Check to make sure. Make sure there's no catch or crazy tax on it.

First thing after getting the big check-
Store it across multiple bank accounts. Give some back to my parents (putting me through education etc, + bonus money), and maybe relatives that need help.


First thing you always said you would do if you won-
By properties in London, Milan and Hong Kong. Lease out the ones I'm not living in so I'm always making money, incase I lose the money I won or spend it all.



Do you quit your job-
Since I'm a student, no i wouldnt drop out. I want to be qualified. I'd use the money to get me into the best institutions.


First car you splurge on-
Mercedes_SL280_oldtimer_car.jpg
ferrari_dino.jpg

And an Alfa for everyday driving.


Where would you live-
Back and forth from Milan, New York, London and Bangkok.


Where else would you buy a holiday home-
Malaysia, Portugal, France and Hawaii


First big Holiday/Travel-
South America


What would you change about yourself (snip,snip)-
Expensive clothes I guess.


What else not listed is up there on your priority list-


Start a vinyl collection.
Buy a box at San Siro.
Go to more gigs.
Invest in shares.
Go to space.
Travel the world.
 
First thing after checking the ticket-
Check again, then hide it just incase. Won't tell anyone till the money is in my account.

First thing after getting the big check-
"Move" to a tax haven. Not really but just register in one of those countries and "live" in a PO box. Split it with my GF ( we only ever do these things together anyway (50/50). Then I would distribute the money into high rent accounts, give my parents a mil or two and set up a very good "fund" for them with a very nice monthly allowance (a result of the rental income). After all any money left will go back to me when they kick the bucket and I would rather keep control of it all instead of just giving them a wad. Protects them aswell from my dad's investment ideas :D

First thing you always said you would do if you won-
Go on a nice holiday, people don't realise that if you want your dream car and not one in the showroom it can take a few months, ...if not longer for the more exotic cars.

Do you quit your job-
Not really, I would quit my job but begin a property design development firm, being an architect it would be great. Design nice houses and sell them with a profit.

First car you splurge on-
Mehh....an SUV for daily stuff (Audi Q8 or something like that) and maybe a Austin for the weekends. Although that would be dependent on where Im living and the speed limits/strictness of the police/fines.

Where would you live-
Besides my beautiful PO box?! Probably Canada, Vancouver / Seatle, USA. Somewhere around there. I find the area stunning with loads of beautiful locations for my designs. And it doesnt get too warm either.

Where else would you buy a holiday home-
Not sure if I would, maybe an appartment in a really nice city that keeps its value.

First big Holiday/Travel-
A short world trip of 3 months with a month in the States/Canada, A month in Asia and the rest spread between the classic cities and maybe a week doing a safari. I would probably do the mix halfway and then relax in Asia.

What would you change about yourself (snip,snip)-
Im very happy with my foreskin thanks, so no need for the snip. Maybe some work on my teeth but they are in good condition anyway (no fillings at 27!). Other then that use the possiblity for extra freetime to play more sports.

What else not listed is up there on your priority list-
Oh, I would probably give a "mortgage" (200.000e) to my 5, 6 best friends. I hardly have any family anyway with only my parents getting money. The grandma's can get some via my parents.

I plan this out every bloody year in december for the New Years lottery. And then I win 5e on a 28e ticket!
 
Last edited:
I forgot 2 things I'd do... the misses would kill me if she knew I'd forgot this first one - get married. The second I'd donate a big chunk of cash to this site.
 
First thing after checking the ticket-
Go absolutely fucking spare. I'd not know who to hug, what to say etc. No matter what I say people will probably laugh though right? They'd want a share ;)

First thing after getting the big check-
Well first off all I'd walk with my sister into town and have it all finalized. I'd cling onto it in my pocket for dear life. Then when it's all sorted I'd go to the nearest club and have my sister order drinks. I'd pay her back obviously :LOL:


First thing you always said you would do if you won-
Treat my Mum to a brand new house or something similar. Pay for it for life. Bless her, she's been through so much :) Then I'd give a large chunk to my Dad. He'd probably buy a new set of Golf clubs first :LOL: For myself, I've always said I'd buy myself a season ticket at Newcastle. Plus they'll be cheap next year ;)

Do you quit your job-
I'll have to get one first. But no I wouldn't quit.


First car you splurge on-
A Mini (the red model from the Italien Job. Not the shite 00's rework either)


Where would you live-
Buy a penthouse in New York. Lakeside house somewhere in Italy, like Venice. I'd live with my Mummy though ;)


Where else would you buy a holiday home-
Ireland. Never been :CRY:

First big Holiday/Travel-
Definatley New York.

What would you change about yourself (snip,snip)-
I'd hire a physio and generally get much fitter and leaner. I wouldn't change anything personality wise.

What else not listed is up there on your priority list-
Retire at 16. (I'm 16 btw Jay, not 15) Brilliant stuff ;)

First thing after checking the ticket-

Check it again, then once more, call up and see if it's the correct date and draw and see if I can get it varified

First thing after getting the big check-

Take it to the bank, then go to the pub for a pint or two with my friends and family.

First thing you always said you would do if you won-

Go and book myself a 3-4 month holiday, a luxury round the world trip, flying first class everywhere and staying in top hotels.

Do you quit your job-

No way, need something to do, though may employ someone to reduce the amount of work I have to do and reduce my hours to something more normal.

First car you splurge on-

Ferrari, would love an Enzo, though a F430 would do for a starter!
ferrari-enzo-doors-open.jpg

EDIT: Maybe I should of said a Veyron! Also would love a Caterham 7, maybe that should of been my first choice.

Where would you live-

Norn Iron, tis a great place to live, just buy one of the few massive houses that arent too far away from where I live at the minute, few sitting at just over a million

Where else would you buy a holiday home-

Would love to have a few places, but property is expensive and maybe I dont want to spend all that moolah, but would go for a place in England, not sure where; South of Spain, Florida, New York, Rhode Island, France.

First big Holiday/Travel-

See above, heading round the world first class baby!

What would you change about yourself (snip,snip)-

Nowt, bar making more time for sport, be it tennis, swimming, not into gym bobbins.

What else not listed is up there on your priority list-

Making sure my family are sorted financially and helping my friends out if needs be. Though a massive mates holiday would defo be on the list. Just making the money was invested and would be always making returns.

So you're checking your tickets and find you have won £38 million on the Euro what do you do...


First thing after checking the ticket-Call my wife, tell her, "Were Rich Bitch!!!!!"


First thing after getting the big check-
Wait and wait and wait, till it clears.

First thing you always said you would do if you won-

By a bar so i have something to do. sports bar with video games. Best beers you can get in the world, 60 taps of american IPA's, Stouts, the best of belgium, and of course the british standards. In the back I would have a secret party room with bongs, video games(xbox, ps3, wii), stripper poles, 60 inch plasmas(all in HD), another bar with taps, a wine and beer cellar. Every sunday I would close the main bar and have my boys over for party time to watch european footie, american footie, etc..
I would find a young kid who wants to go to culinary school, i would send him to the best school in paris and then I would send him to somlier school and the beer equivalent in belgium. I would pay him a good fee and give him profit sharing and great benefits. I want good food and drink. This bar would be in my neighboorhood now so my boys could partake in free beer and food forever. Oh and yes every special occasion i would bring in the hottest strippers from vegas to entertain my friends on sunday.

Do you quit your job-

Fuck yeah, i can find plenty of stuff to do. Fish, drink, ski, hiking, biking, sailing, video games, train sets, model planes, skeet shooting, go to sporting events, learn how to surf, lifting weights, write a book, coach my kids soccer team, have a kid, learn how to play guitar, learn how to play the bass guitar, and swim.

Man that's a plan gomito, and a lot of corporate seats... :P
 
First thing after checking the ticket-
After checking for the 20th time, and telling my mum, have a cup of tea and work out what I need to do ie the claim process...

First thing after getting the big check-
I'd take a photo of it, and just before going on a long break I'd put it on Facebook with all of the numbers blurred out. I think I'd prefer to keep it as quiet as possible, as I'm not a person who likes a fuss. It'd also keep the spongers from crawling out of the woodwork...

First thing you always said you would do if you won-
I'd pay off my Mum's mortgage, my grandparents mortgage, & buy a nice house for both of my sisters, as well as a place for me.
Then I'd work out how much I'd give to people, and donate a sizeable lump to several charities.

Do you quit your job-
Not at first. I'd probably quit after a few weeks, though I'd wait until they found a replacement. Then I could tell certain people what I really thought of them!
I like most of the people I work with, so I'd arrange a night out at an exclusive club with them.

First car you splurge on-
I quite like my Type R, though I'd probably get something spacious & comfortable (and a bit flashy!) for the regular trips to Manchester. And maybe a Shelby GT (like the one in Gone In 60 Seconds) and a kit car ie a Skyline that I could work on when I had time.

Where would you live-
Eventually I'd like to live abroad, though I'd stay near where I am now so that I'm still near my family, though I'd buy a plot of land and design my dream house.
On top of that I'd get an apartment near Old Trafford...

Where else would you buy a holiday home-
New York, Florida / Miami, Australia.

First big Holiday/Travel-
A tour of the US, or Japan.

What would you change about yourself (snip,snip)-
Hire a personal trainer to shape up, and get one of the world's top tattooists to do a half sleeve I've been wanting for ages.

What else not listed is up there on your priority list-
I'd buy a box at Old Trafford, and invest in my 2nd club, Charlton.
After the initial excitement of being rich wears off (it would take a while though!) I'd want to have something to work on, possibly a bar / club in the UK & maybe one near one of my holiday homes. That, property development or a games developer so I could make the games people want instead of cash ins...
I'd also make sure my friends & family were sorted out for money, nothing over the top though, except my immediate family.


Oh well, enough daydreaming... Back to reality!

First thing after checking the ticket-
Check it again just to make sure I'm not going mad, realise I got all the numbers and then go fucking mental.

First thing after getting the big check-
Surely you mean CHEQUE? I would cash it in, give my parents and inlaws a cut of the cash and then go for a celebratory pint.

First thing you always said you would do if you won-
Move abroad and at the first available opportunity renounce my British citizenship as a good two finger gesture to the NuLabour Party. Have that Brown you cunt. £385 well spent, wouldn't even burn a tiny hole in my pocket.

Do you quit your job-
Well seeing as I'd plan to move abroad it's a case of having to.

First car you splurge on-
Got so many favourite cars to pick from that I really do not know what to fork out for first

Where would you live-
Oh anywhere apart from here, probably USA or Canada

Where else would you buy a holiday home-
Spain probably

First big Holiday/Travel-
Oh anywhere for a good few months might even travel around the world

What would you change about yourself (snip,snip)-
Get fitter

What else not listed is up there on your priority list-
Buy my local rubbish football club and shut it down for being pathetic (sorry Nick Cave) and make all their 600 remaining fans support Druids. Then with the remaining £37,999,999 do what I said above.
