You have a 0.000% chance of winning whether you buy a ticket or not. The chance of building a 7 car is more likely than buying 7 cars.

Assuming I can keep my actual cars (with all that money it should not be a problem) I would buy :
1/ Ginetta G4 Coupe
2/ Seven Replica
3/ Raffo Belva
4/ Elise S1
5/ Marcos Mantula/Martina/Mantara Coupe
6/ Brooke Double R
7/ Atom Ariel
Could easily add a few cars but you asked only 7 ... ;-)

This is a trick question! If i had £100m i'd have 7 tracks not 7 cars! A rally stage, a tarmac circuit, skid pan, drag strip, banger racing
track, a daytona raceway ring and a 3 mile gravel driveway up to my mansion,

oooo harsh. Buying a manufacturer and developing the product would be nice retirement project.
Not going to happen of course, as smart51 implies lotteries are a tax on people who can't do maths
But lets have a go:
Ultima spyder
Classic mini-cooper S
Ford RS200
WILDCAT 200 Dakar
Lancia Stratos
Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
Ariel Atom

It's not about the winning, it's all about thinking about what you'd do if you did win it!
1) Ultima GTR
2) Westfield Megabusa (probably turbo'd)
3) BMW M5
4) Jag XK8
5) A Small White Van with towbar
6) Good Cobra replica
7) Ford GT40 (one of the new ones)

I wouldn't want/need to own seven cars. First and foremost though, I'd buy a Porsche 911.
Pagani Zonda
Ferrari F430 Spyder
M3 as a sensible car for family journeys
And another car such as Lamborghini/Mercedes SL55/Aston Martin/TVR, which I've always fancied owning and driving - until the next model comes
out. One that I would constantly chop and change on a monthly basis probably.

Yes the jackpot might be 100 million but.... if you read the crapolla on the website each participating country only get a percentage to give out to
its players the uk is only getting 22% of that 100 million to divide out so the actual UK allocation of the jackpot is only 22 million a major ripp
off and very misleading.
And as said no fecking chance off winning anyway.
think you are wrong on the 22% the draw prize is 22% of the total prize fund and at the moment the top prize is £100m+ plus.
you will be the highest single lottery winner ever americans have bigger lottery but they always pay out smaller one off payments.
plus you can leave the dream,

7, My Tiger Avon - no seriousy - imagine an Avon with say.... £250,000 invested in it?
But - why only 7? I still want a Ferrari and a Lotus and a Boyd Coddington hot rod and a rocket car and and
and........

Interesting to see how many Bowlers are on the list while only one 7.
Though I must admit the Atom is my ideal 7

Years ago a guy I knew had a deal with an exotic car trader to use any car on his showroom for a month or two - I don't know what he paid for
the privalege but I thought that it was a pretty cool idea and with 100 Million I would organise a similar deal.
Never have to worry about servicing, maintenance, trade in price, tyre replacement or even washing the car again - just swop it for something else
when you're bored with it.
He drove everything from a Roller to a Lambo.
