I would be happy with £9200 win then I would pay my debts off.

£160 million too much??? Not for Me[:D]
After one hell of a party, I`d be straight to my nearest Aston Martin showroom, then Porsche, then Ferrari.
I`d see all my family and close friends very comfortably off.
I`d then buy nice houses in South Cornwall and Cala Galdana in Menorca and I`d live between the two, when I wasn`t travelling the world in the best luxury possible.
I get really upset when I see toddlers on the TV who need operations that our NHS won`t do or won`t fund, and their parents have to fundraise to get the money for the treatment abroad, I`d set up a trust fund to pay for such cases.
I`d also give a sizeable wedge to the Royal British Legion, to help out injured service people.
It really gets my goat when you see lottery winners come out with the absolute garbage that those last two did
"It won`t change us...We might buy a new car...We don`t want to move"
THEN WHY DO THE LOTTERY THEN??? Honestly[:(!]

Why couldn`t a young, struggling couple with three or four kids have won it...or Me[:D]

I'd love an Aston Martin! When we were at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few weeks ago there was a gorgeous Aston for sale - if you had a £40k deposit!

Nice motor but probably not one I would choose straight off - getting old now and getting in and out of a low car would probably do both us!

Bentley I think!

Since I first started doing the lottery, I have always said that the first thing I would do is go on a cruise. Why? Because the likes of me coming from a working class background wouldn't have a clue how to deal with 1 million let alone multiples. I would need lots of time to think. We all say oh I would do this and that, I have myself, I used to say I would invest in a business because I would just get bored staying at home or being on a permanent holiday. But if it ever did come to me winning, I really wouldn't have a clue - apart from paying off my debts and buying a new motorbike :)

I'd head off somewhere hot, stay in a villa and take a big notepad with me so I could work out how to spend it wisely!!

I would never be bored staying at home and can't wait until I retire - with or without money!

The chances of me winning though are so remote that I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!

I've always been restless though, yes I can potter in the garden or do some work on the house or the bike/car; but when that's all done what then? I need to keep going, besides, with all that cash added to boredom I'd be hitting the bottle on a daily basis, and that's never a good thing.

Bentley's are horrible, too big and boxy looking, although not as bad as a Rolls Royce - they're hideous and look like a tank!

I'd definitely want something sporty - until my back goes again that is!

We're too old and infirm for sporty now - Bentley would do me! Not bothered about a roller though!

I would never be bored being at home now having worked for the past 40 years - I think I deserve to be at home!

Continental Convertable would do me (with a modest petrol tanker following).
