Wow, I forgot I had even posted this poll - and can't believe it is 5 years since we last visited Florida!! Visited in January 2005 but never got round to posting trip report. where does the time go?
I voted buy a villa. I might also invest in a business with a manager so I could stay as long as I liked[msnwink]. However I have done the lottery every Saturday since it began and so far we have won 3 times unfortunatly it was only £10 a time[msnscared]

We would buy another villa as so cheap at the moment and can look for a place we would use ourselves .

Hopefully would win more than 1 million and then I could really go to town.
Buy another villa, bigger than ours and stay longer in Florida and fly 1st Class
Buy a home in Austria which is a country we love - no problems about visa there either
Go on a round the world cruise
Pay off our kids mortgages and make sure they were comfortabley off.
Put money in trust for our grandchildren
Put enough money aside to make sure that their school fees were paid until they had finished their education
Give a sum to Erskine Hospital who looked after my Dad and look after any ex-servicemen and women
Give a sum to Christian Aid
after all that just enjoy ourselves for the rest of our lives.
Oh and put a sum into a Private Medical Insurance so that I don;t have to rely on the NHS for any future illnesses.
You can but dream. Mind you a colleague and I several years ago tried to see how we could spend £14 milliam, I think at that time someone had just won a sum like that, but we found it difficult to get much past 7 million and that was thinking of really daft and over indulgent things.
Oh I am off to bed to dream of winning the lottery, mind you I forgot to put on the Euro Lottery tonight so just hope my usual numbers don't come up!!!

My SIL won just over 2 million in the first lottery of this year!![msnoo]She was actually part of a syndicate and ended up with just short of a 100,000....... not to be sniffed at!
My point is that until that happened I thought lottery wins happened to other people, in my case they do as I rarely by a ticket

If I won a serious amount of money my first priority would be my family. I wish you could by good health as well, at the moment we are both in reasonable health for our age but all the money in the world is no good unless you have the good health to enjoy it
[msnsad]
I think the best thing about a big win would be not to have to think too much about the cost of things we want to do. Sure, a lot of the pleasures in life are free but a heck of a lot cost money! We would love a nice boat and once we had sorted out our ideal home and cars, which are the obvious things, that would be next on the list.
You are so right Liz. Good health is the one thing you can't buy or put a price on. Good health is in itself a bit of a lottery! I was lucky enough to take advantage of an early retirement package a couple of years ago and my partner is also semi-retired. After a couple of health problems in the past few months it really made us focus on the importance of good health....
I'd probably go on a round the world holiday, buy a villa in Florida, share some with family, give some to charity, and set up my own business.
