It's so important that you stay grounded. Keep chasing the yelllow stickers in supermarkets!

If you're planning on going on benefits ask for the £87m in cash and hide it under the mattress.

With that sort of money put your feet up and relax you maybe able to pull a really fit blonde bird too

I have a close friend in Nigeria with an excellent investment opportunity for you. Guaranteed to at least treble your money. Simply transfer your £87M into my account and I will pass it on to him.

Should I seek professional financial advice, or should I rely on you good people here to help me decide.
I have already maxed out my ISA's for this year.

Start a big bonfire for all the begging letters you're going to get from people that invested in icelandic banks?

Do you own any News Corporation shares? You know the company who used to own News of the World.

Please be very careful climbing the ladder to get onto your bed with all the money under the matress, it sounds dangerous to me.

I will look after it for you, I have very high ceilings.

Keep your money safe by not putting more than the £85K FSCS compensation limit in any one bank.

You'll need a minimum of 1,024 accounts with different institutions. A few more if you want to keep the interest safe too.

Or just 512 accounts with £170K protection shared between you and a spouse in joint accounts. But if you are recently married, how about a post-nup agreement before taking the sale proceeds?

Make sure you open plenty of savings accounts with different institutions so that you are covered by the Financial Services Compansation Scheme.

I once knew of a self styled 'money saving expert' that used to recommend that every time he appeared on TV, he also had quite a successful website which he sold to a large publicly traded company.

His same escapes me just at the moment
