£82m EuroMillions jackpot this Friday - what would you do...
Discussion
...if you bought the lucky winning ticket?!
£82m is a ridiculous amount and I frankly don't know where I would start....
Flying myself, the wife and many of her fit friends on holiday to escape the publicity would be a start.
While planning the purchase of a large hangar to store the impending car collection.

s
t on the boss' desk for a start.
After that, the obvious fleet of cars, as well as houses in the alps, Colorado, and various other locations around the world. Then live a life of leisure skiing in the winter, biking in the summer, and ripping round tracks in the cars.
Maybe some charitable work on the side to keep me busy.

I'd build an animal care home and have a full time career involved in all aspects of that. Kind of like Steve Irwin, but without the risk of death.
I'd have a reasonable sized house, although the garage would likely out-do the house as it would be all manner of facilities built into one. In fact, I would just have a garage with a house integrated into it.
Can imagine nothing better than a full workshop complete with numerous ramps/lifts and having my bedroom and kitchen on the side. Waking up to a GT500 on the ramp in front of me first thing in the morning would be a god send.

You'd have to buy a car, in order just to drive around to dealerships in, to choose what cars to buy!
Really though I cannot begin to fathom what I would do with £82m. I would quite possibly st, piss and feint at the same time if I found that out.
You'd have to get some seriously good financial advice - possibly even a little more than just asking on here (thats a lot of coke and hookers).
But if you had the right mindset (I'd like to hope I would) you could obviously sort yourself out but could help so many people/organistions out and make it really worthwhile.
Can someone answer me - if one won the £82mil and deposited it into a single account of the type that accepts those amounts (Not a Yorkshire building society young saver then) - what would the interest be?

I'd buy a DBS Volante and go on holiday with my mates for a bit and would be a bit naughty.
Probably pay off their mortgages.
Start on the Mini collection properly.
Other than that, initially at least I'd stay in the same house and do much the same things.
At least until the interest had earned back the cost of the inital flutter.
When a house came up that really grabbed me I'd buy that, possibly a ski lodge in Canada.
Generally speaking I'd be quite reserved as it's enough money, if treated correctly, to ensure that my daughter, her children when she has them, their children etc never have to do a single day's work and that's a lot more attractive to me than a big garage containing a load of depreciating assets bought on the basis of the fact I fancied one in passing.
I do fancy a helicopter though, so maybe one of them.

Assume in the current climate you could make 3% interest - that works out at £2.5m gross interest.
Assume (for simplicity) 50% tax rapeage on that, leaves you with an interest salary of £1.25m.
But given inflation is higher than your 3% you would be better off not keeping the whole £82m in cash!
Properties / cars / fun stuff / slush fund / pay off parental mortgages / kiddie trusts - £15m?
Investments with income bias - £50m (aim for a 5-10% dividend yield)
Charitable giving - £5m
Christ, what else?! Still got £12m unused!

Properties with all the latest gadgets in the Bahamas, Manhattan, Lake Como, Monaco, Crete, Portofino, Scottish Highlands, Venice and anywhere else I fancied. Vast car collection - 599, Murcielago SV, Aston's, list goes on.. Maybe a boat and being single I'd ship in the world's most beautiful women and some of the finest columbian white whilst sipping on ridiculously expensive champers - most nights.
Until then I will spend all day Saturday sitting around waiting on a phone call from Camelot.

5 bedroom house in country built to my own specs.
Court yard with 25 garages and a workshop.

Pug 250 T16
Zcars mini with sc vtec rwd conversion
Aston Martin V8 vantage
Skyline GTR
Bugatti EB110
Porche 911 GT3
Ferrari California
Lambo lp640
A monster truck
The rest of the garage would fill up as new cars come out.
Other cool st I'd own:
Personal submarine
A large sail boat
Plane
Helicopter
Misc property:
Luxury apartments in NYC, London, Paris with a select few supercars for each apartment.
The rest of the money would be invested in the safest way I could think of. No buying a football club or anything retarded like that.

Tick the no publicity box first, don't want people that normally can't even be civil to me start remembering that they are related to me.
Clear up all my debts and other half's debts.
Nice new big house, with all new furniture, carpets, working appliences etc.
New cars, holidays, stuff like that.
Quit work, as I am sick of working for a pittance, and having to deal with the strangness that is our customers. But other half is still going to work each day, not having him get under my feet!
Get married, huge wedding, posh dress, big party, all that crap.
Open a craft shop somewhere.
