off roader*
on the side I'd start to invest in some property
to outsiders I'd just become extremely successful over the course of a few years doing *insert generic manual labour job here* then I'd publicly start to invest in property and then "employ" a few mates at their current pay rates + a decent payrise to join me on a round the world tour, basically top gear challenges but without the camera crews! "living off the investments" (which just happen to be doing very well!!)

- any posts in the kit car section in a few months time about stripping a bugatti veyron and building an atom chassis around it's engine are purely coincidental and do not mean I won the Euro's!

If you saw the state of my finances you wouldn't say that! I have a tendency to spend like there's no tomorrow, I fear that's what I'd actually do if I won the Euros!! Petrolhead_Rich said:

Loads, but a Holland and Holland Range Rover, and pair of guns.

I've never played the lottery, but if it were me, I'd get the following off the top of my head. (my list would be too long if i thought more then 10sec about it.
a mint rover mini cooper 500 (the 'everyone must own a mini in their life' thing)
evo 3 (my favourite Gran turismo car)
NSX my other fave granturismo car.
ferrari 456
(my first diecast model car was this. and i cherished it like mad)
+ any 80s or 90s ferrai.
(i always loved that rear headlight design, flat and very wide.
my list could go on but cba.

Sod all.
£12m to family n stuff, £100m in the bank. Even at 2% interest that's £2m/yr, or £5500/day, you'd struggle to spend that. I'd travel around the world renting everything. Even if you did somehow manage to spend £5500 every single day you'd still wouldn't lose money.
But you're only protected for £75k of that £100m. So you would need just shy of 2000 banks to be safe. You can bet some significant number of those 2000 would go bankrupt, you would lose 70k each time.£12m to family n stuff, £100m in the bank.

I'm splitting the £12M between my brother, sister and mum and dad.
Is that what you're telling them, then pocketing the other £100m?
t load of money and if someone gave that to me I'd be chuffed to bits. The interest off it could give them a really nice lifestyle without the headache of suddenly being very rich indeed. twoblacklines said:

It would be in various investment bonds, I wouldn't be dropping £100m in a Natwest current account 
I'd get out of England as fast as I could (buy private jet of course) but not sure where in the world I could escape much of what I see, smell & hear that has ruined the land of my birth.
