Firstly, I'd prob cry......... I do that at weddings or any happy occassion.
Then I'd help out a couple of very good friends who are struggling, gifts not loans as I'd want to retain their friendship.
Then I'd book a great holiday somewhere hot, first class and sit back and think.
In the meantime Mr 13th would have come up with a list of "must have" metal and presented it to me after a bottle of fine champers ............. and I'd be back doing the lottery again next week.
It would be a fun week though

Pay off the mortgage, refurnish the house to a high standard, finish building extension, buy a couple of cars, probably a new XC90 for the wife and an 911 for me at the weekends, and a splittie camper because it's teh worst thing I ever did selling the one we had, I'll keep my Bora for work until it dies. I'd bank the rest to put the kids through private school and for my pension.
I'd keep it bloody quiet!
Probably just let on that I'd won enough to buy the new house, nothing huge, and then play it very safe with the rest.
I'm not that old and hopefully have quite a bit of living left to do and it wouldn't last too long if everyone started expecting handouts.
Certain people would deserve a bit of a treat but I'd try to cover it up as much as possible.

Yep. House, cars etc will come but the main thing would be to not work.Which will only be lessened by anything you spend of the principal.
So whilst you won't have to work, you'll probably end up with a lower income than when you did.

Only problem with that is you'll be lucky to get a 50K income off a bar.

I think I would struggle though on 50k Which will only be lessened by anything you spend of the principal.

I'm not going too live forever, if I was in my early 20/30's I would be thinking differently.
Sell my place and spend another 50k on a detached house with plenty of room to make the garage of my dreams, another 50k.
I'd still enjoy my track stuff and maybe travel a bit more. Two things that are expensive and a drain on anyones pockets are big cars and houses.
Luckily for me I have no wish too own either.
