How do you spend £143 Million?
Discussion
I was going to suggest using a load of the money to buy a circuit, but it looks like they cost a lot more that 143m : http://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-and-view...

A fleet of supercars and high performance cars.
Couple of car transporters and luxury mobile homes.
Take all the cars and my car mates to every circuit in the world to play.

If you win can I send you my cv, I fancy the job of transporter driver.
I'd do similar, I'd like a big barn for my cars, with a huge upstairs area for bar, snooker table, poker table, etc!
Me and the mrs also said we'd like to open an animal sanctuary and employ genuine animal lovers to work there and pay them a proper wage to do a job they love.
Homes :-
Main schloss somewhere in the Shropshire countryside
Another in the Scottish highlands
A small villa on Lefkas (near Vassiliki)
Another somewhere in Italy (probably the Abruzzo region)
Cars :-
Any number of classics from the 50's / 60's / 70's
A Zonda F would be a must
Boat :-
Riva Aquarama (probably moored up in the harbour at Vassiliki)
:sctratchchin:
And that lot will only use up less than half the pot
Go on then, we'll charter Alfa Nero for a couple of months and cruise the Greek islands.

Nice long holiday to start with. Need it to get my head around being that rich.
Buy a modest 5/6 bedroom house with a large garage. Cannot find it? Build one instead.
Buy dream cars.
Take a few years off to watch the kiddy growing up. Then start a business.
Donate sizeable sum's to chosen charities.
Pay off chosen friends & family debts.
Money can't buy you happiness? It can when you don't have to set foot in a f
king factory ever again.

50% to my brother.
£71.5m left.
We'd then sort the family out between us.
£61.5m left.
I'd then buy a property in central London - preferably an apartment for security purposes.
£50m left.
Invest £10m - probably with a large bank such as Citi.
£40m left.
Buy a couple of dream cars and a couple of classics.
£38m left.
Put £13m away in an offshore bank account in case st ever hit the fan.
£25m left.
Split £2m between four charities of my choice.
£23m left.
Build myself a lodge in Verbier.
£20m left.
I'd keep £18m split between a few banks (high-street but also the likes of Coutts, Drummonds etc.).
£2m left.
And then the remaining £2m would be kept as a running balance in a current account to be used to live, pay any bills etc. This would be topped up, when needed, from the £18m UK based stash.
ETA: the £31m in cash I'd have would be split between a number of different currencies and the £10m invested would need to be a minimum of 75% blue-chip stock.

I'd start with giving 5m to each of my closest pals, so that's 20m. Another 5 to my sister. Then I'd have to quickly set up a board of sorts with 50m who I'd have to "apply" to access. Then- a holiday. A tour of Aman resorts perhaps, by private plane whilst I thought about what to do next... I'd buy a 918 Spyder pretty sharpish though!
Not enough. After seeing everyone right, it wouldn't even pay for the best house in London, let alone the ones I would also want in New York and the Bahamas, the boat, helicopter, classic Ferraris and the private plane. I'd need at least half a billion to give myself a chance of happiness.

Sorry to be so boring- but giving £28m or whatever to high street banks is utter madness..!50% to my brother.

I think i would rather win a tenth of the amount, the tell everyone i won just a 1/100th. I just imagine getting really paranoid about personal safety and suspicious of everyone's intentions....
....Although the idea of buying a crumbling stately home does appeal and getting back into shape using local trades people and leaving a lasting legacy for people to visit. However i would want the name changed from Snootington Hall to #DELBOYMANNERZ so people cringe every time they drive through the gates.
Oh yes, i would also dress up as a hobo and spend my weekends visiting high end car dealerships.

Split 4 ways between myself, parents and sister. May need to be intelligent with inheritance tax for parents, but hardly worth worrying about in this context.
143/4 = £35,750,000.
Invested at say 5% = £1,780,000 per annum, so around £890,000 after tax etc. That's £74,166 per month.
I'd pay off the mortgage straight off the bat obviously. But that should keep me going for a bit whilst I decide what I actually want to do with the money.
I might start my own brewery business with some of it, I suppose. Give me something to fill my days.
