    I reckon Id have to, at least, get a Gumball 3000 under my belt. With an M5 that is.

    Buy a Porsche and a pitts aerobatic plane to mess around in. Go on holiday for a few weeks.

    Later on in the year I would probably have
    Crashed the Porsche.
    Died in a plane crash.

    ...or crash the Porsche into your plane after you forgot you landed it on a blind bend on the R152.

    - Heres another idea, get to fly a MiG25 at 80k foot in Russia, if you're brave enough. (Probably not me then :(). Costs an arm and a leg but you can actually go and do it in a dual cockpit version plane thingy.

    depends how much i won, i mean, a million wont get you much now, after you brought the house or paid off the mortgage, dont think it would look after you if for the rest off your life if you were to never work again

    if it was 2 to 3 million plus would probably consider starting off my own business, that would be after paying the hosue and taking care of the parents mortgages

    I'd probably spend it on university courses, I'd love to go round the world to all the great colleges and study something different in each one. Would do that for about 30 years and then settle down in whichever I liked best and become a doddery eccentric academic type.

    Buy a large property with a mooring for a luxury yacht somewhere where I don't get rained on every time I go outdoors and where EU politicians don't keep insisting I am an ignorant paddy.

    I need sunshine, a couple of gorgeous blondes, a sundeck and a bottle of good Irish whiskey, and I will waste my days away in blissful happiness. "The working class can kiss my ass, I've won the feckin' prize at last!":rolleyes:

    Maybe some hookers and blow too.
