Lottery Win - What Would You Buy ?
Neighbour won the lottery, lucky Bas***d but statistically that buggers us up from ever winning it
He won 1.25 million and it was being kept really quiet, but it got out eventually
What would you do if it was you ?
New house, Range Rover and a Lambo or Ferrari ?
Nice place in the sun ?
Go on tell us........

If I had £1.25million I'd buy a house and a decent car. In truth I'd probably use the rest to subsidise my wages for the rest of my life
and live fairly normally but as this is a fantasy, a second house after the first one, learn to ride a motorbike and go around the world.

No, statistically you've got exactly the same chance of winning.
I'd spent all winter in the mountains skiing, cycle spring and autumn in southern europe and rag the arse off the Fury all summer.

Medium size house with a huge garage.
Invest half or 3/4 and buy lots of cars with the rest.

Clear the mortgage, get a few 2 bed houses near a university to provide an income and dabble in property development with the rest.
That's enough to retire on as long as you are careful.

House with big garage and garden, R33 skyline or a new GT-R, good mig and tig welders, loads of steel tubes and box to make stuff,
Round here, that'll cover most of the 0.25m, leaving the change for investment, property or something probably.
Ooh, and a really nice hat

Get myself a decent house with a nice large garage (with a 4 post lift obviously!), clear my sisters and mum's mortgages, take my friends out
for a really good night out, treat myself to an Ultima kit car, then get the rest into investments that ensure that I don't have to work again.
As Mark says, you could retire on that much if you're careful. I'd have to be very good on the investments to match my current salary, and
that's a reflection on the state of investments rather than what I earn!!

I'd "invest in Australia", the politically correct description of what the Australian blubberment demand essentially to buy
citizenship.
There would be none of this reality TV crap about decisions of whether to go, or not, I'm gone. Perhaps I don't have the issues of
'normal' people though, my entire family is dead from cancer, only the landlord would miss me (briefly).
What ever is left of mine on this Septic Isle would either be sold, repossesed by the Banksters, or stolen by the blubberment. None of this would
amount to much, so not too much of an issue.

Since I saw a xj6 in the states, fitted with a small block v8 (done so well it looked factory) I have wanted one. Make a superb runabout.
But 1.25mil probably wouldn't go far in terms of house down here. So stay in the one we have, buy an industrial unit to play with cars with my
mates, get the kids off to a start in life and a couple of student houses. Plus regular holidays of course.
The scary thing is a million quid invested in property in only likely to give you 40k a year after expenses, so not exactly a millionaires lifestyle.
As to most other investments, way to scary for me!

I'd build a decent size house with a big garden and a massive workshop/garage
the garage would be near the house but hidden - think 'bat cave'
and of course it'll have a couple of car ramps and maybe a spray booth etc...
next priority would be boosting my income (enough that I could work part time would be perfect)
the leftovers would hopefully get me some toys to put in the garage and finish my projects...
I'm thinking finish the dax and the scimitar then add:
S1 106 rallye
3rd Cossie or escort cossie
Ginetta G40 (with an engine swap to a V6?)
RS 1800
something mid engined - GD T70 ?

Not much on current interest rates, better off getting 10% on a few houses - buy to let, plus (fairly safe) equity increase on top long term.
