    I'd buy a tiny little bolt-hole somewhere in Chelsea or Kensington on a shortish lease (30 years or less). Then another one in Deal, and nice house or villa either on the Greek mainland. possibly the Pelopponese or in southern Crete. I might even spend the occasional winter in a rented property in Goa somewhere.

    I must buy a lottery ticket some time....

    Indeed.. This is almost more of a "what would you do if you won the lottery?" thread.

    All I know is that I'd need more than the £2.50 I won last time out :P

    well to be honest with that sort of money i would start off making sure mine and fiancee's families had somewhere nice and mortgage free, not o.t.t just normal but without money worries. i like porthmadog in wales but i think my accent might make me unwelcome, i would probably just spend more time there in summer for example. not a fan of london at all
