You've won the £184m jackpot..now what?

[JustGREENI]

What would you buy first?

How many people would you help and how?

What would you look to do in the future...

[Charlie1986]

Stay anonymous then back to work for a month letting it sink in and take advice would be my plan

[BckFlash]

Coke and hookers - the rest I'd waste.

Am I doing it right?

[Tankrizzo]

I've often wondered how long it takes to actually sink in, and how many people just go to work for a couple of weeks afterwards in a bit of a daze.

Do they actually transfer £184m to your little Natwest current account or do they open a special account up for you somewhere?

Absolutely right, for a month or so anyway. Then to Rehab

Arriving late every day, extended lunch breaks etc. I'd probably see how much it takes to eventually get suspended on full pay. Then just before being sacked I'd say "The boss touched me...'

[Chris Type R]

I'd invest it in the stock market and make a small fortune.

fk going to work, on the first plane somewhere hot then plan from there

[Spare tyre]

Get the dent on my 20 year old Peugeot sorted

New carpet in hall

Treat wife to a decent cordless vacuum

Save the rest

This. And travel the world.

All whilst having a positive impact on those you meet along the way (apart from the hookers)

Go to Nusr-et and complain its too expensive.

[Radec]

Buy my work office building, then walk in and kick everyone out.

They offer financial advisors as part of winning big. But you can ignore them.

[louiebaby]

Boringly, some kind of annuity for myself, and one for the wife. Something like £10k each a month for 50 years, adjusting for inflation.

At least then we'd be sorted whatever happened with the rest. Probably drop a £1m each into pensions for the kids too before I went any further.

[55palfers]

It's a completely insane amount of money. Even for the average denizen of PH with a Rolex and a smart Audi.

They'd do more good making 184 people into a millionaire.

Unless the process has changed you end up with a ‘Camelot account’ which I think is set up and managed by a team at either HSBC or NatWest.

You immediately get classed as a vulnerable customer too

Steady on there, you don't want to set a dangerous precedent...

[Lagom]

Tell everyone close to me that I'd only won £1m, that would stop a load of the begging letters and people begrudging. Always going to get haters no matter how much you win.

[fiatpower]

In theory. Go to work for a month or so, hand in notice and quietly leave claiming I had a new job.

In reality. Go to work for a few days. Explode at the first sign of aggro and walk out there and then.

Buy a nice large house, do up to my taste and move in.

I'd look to travel a lot and help family and those less fortunate out. I enjoy running and cycling so i'd spend a good chunk of time being a "professional" amateur athlete travelling the world doing all the various bucket list races and events.
