    Would pay of the second mortgage,mine and the wife's other debts and have about £15,000 left,a holiday to Australia and a newish car should take care of that.
    Then i would still have the mortgage and monthly bills to pay but it wouldn't be such a struggle,i would still carry on comping and i don't think the wife would moan about me spending so much time on the pc anymore :)

    I'd fritter it away on holidays, a nice car and a lot of partying! I'm only 20, might as well live while I'm young and worry about mortgages etc when I'm too old to party so hard! :)

    I would help out my two DS and then try to get back on the property ladder, (fell off about 8 years ago!) I would still keep comping tho, it's a great hobby, safer than drugs or alcohol, and I get great pleasure from a win, even if it is a bag of crisps!!! :rotfl:

  • I'd pay my mortgage off and have just enough left over for a holiday.I would carry on comping although I could throttle my postman who doesn't appear until 3-5pm.When its my days off the tension is unbearable watching him come up my avenue.

    Pay off my parents mortgage, pay for holidays for them and for me, pay off student loan, get a nice desktop computer with a nice monitor :)
  • I'd give 40 to family and keep 20. Would definitely keep comping...well...not really sure I count as a comper as I haven't won anything before.
