    Oh, I'd love a couple of houses with a sea view.

    One near my home town (nothing too big or extravagant - just nice/ small holding type) and a similar one on the Pembrokeshire coast. Say approx £750K - £1M for both

    I'd probably share some of the money with my family to make thier lives comfortable and to live the live they want to lead.

    Not sure about giving much to In Laws as mine said if they won the lottery, they would only give some to us to pay the mortgage off so we would not be 'yuppies' and would have to work. Gee thanks a bunch! LOL £0

    Travel a little bit. £100K
    A couple of sports cars and perhaps a boat £100K

    Get some dogs and cats from rescue homes as pets.
    Have a couple of kids.

    Invest the rest and live off the interest and also develop some nice ideas for charity (Animals /children type ones).

    How dull am I?
  • I have no idea what most of your definitions of a "sports car" are but it all doesn't sound very extravagant, nevertheless exotic!

    100K won't get very far in the real sports car market!

    Something which I wouldn't care too much about if it got wrecked and nothing which would draw too much attention....I guess maybe a Mazda MX5. LOL! I don't think I would want anyone to know if I won!
