So, you log in to the national Lottery online and you have won that 50.4 million quid.

What would you do with it ?

Walk into Ferrari with my joggers and football top on and buy a car. Would love to see how serious they would take you!

I've always wondered if you get exactly the same message if you win big? "We have very good news about your ticket" perhaps.

Would work for a month or so before putting my months notice in, would want to limit the number of people who know how much I actually won, can't really do that if I just don't turn in for work tomorrow, it's too obvious.

I'd go "off-grid" for a month and have a good think about what I wanted to do with it all and then start making a fking gigantic bucket list!

Share it with the other three people in my mini syndicate. Tell my boss to shove his job up his ass.

Get drunk, hit buy on everything in my Amazon wish list. Start looking for a big house with lots of room for cars.

I own my own business, but if I won that much I would walk out the door, I wouldn't look back, leave it to whoever,at my age I would be gone,I would not give a rats arse about work,round up the family, dole out mega cheques,and then really spend.

I remember watching a documentary a few years ago on Camelot; they were following a couple of big winners and showing what happened immediately after a substantial win.

One guy; when he had it confirmed that he had won X million, went outside and threw up.

I'd probably still work but then I enjoy my job. I wouldn't dress any differently. It's not like I can't afford to look smarter. I would buy a bigger house and a couple of fun cars, though.

I wonder if your Amazon wish list would suddenly change if you won £50m. What's on your list that you desperately want but can't afford right now?

I need some new shoes and I'd like a new jumper, so I'd probably get them first.
Then I would design my own house and a big garage with loads of equipment in it so I could tinker with the cars I''ve got on my dream car list.
I'd ensure my family and friends were sorted out for life and then get some investments etc sorted out.

From what I hear the email header is the same, but instead of the prompt to login to your account you get one telling you to give them a call.

Keep it quiet, dwell on it for a while and let it sink in.

Hand my clients over to my business partner, wish him all the best and give him a small lump sum to take the pressure off.

Stick £40m in the bank, £5m each for me and MrsAbitlike to help family and friends as we each see fit.

Get the house done up to the highest standard.

A Ferrari 288GTO, Testarossa and Integrale Evo 2 would do me just fine. Not to drive; just to look at all day.

Buy a brand new car any car and crash it on the forecourt.
