How did u spend your itv winnings?

We all talk about what we'd do if we ever won the lottery, but winning a cash prize with itv may be more realistic going by the winners thread here.

Those who were lucky enough to win, what did you do with your money?

And those who are yet to win, what are your plans? I know the answer may depend on the amount so let's say 2k, 5k & 10k+.

I've not won (yet) but assuming I will win in next 6 months it'll all go towards a deposit for a first home. As I plan on being a homeowner in the next 12 months without a win, any winnings will go towards a new car (if I don't need renovation work).

    In my dreams (!) I'd win about £15000 and would spend it on a new roof, windows and a holiday!

    For any prize up to at least £20,000 you have a better chance of winning on the lottery than ITV although not for free.

    Not won, but if we did - we would move to be closer to family. :)
    Wishing you all good luck!

    If I won I'd put some of it aside towards a house deposit and spend the rest either on travelling or on a Masters degree. I keep dreaming!
  • When I win the first thing I'd buy is some vented soffits.

    Not very rock n roll I know :)

    Gin and chocolate and then I'll just blow the rest...
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
  • Race Bikes, supertwin/ supersport so maybe a Kawasaki ER6 F & a ninja OR suzuki SV650 and a GSXR600. Not that expensive but more than I can afford at the moment. That said if anyone wins huge dough and would like to sponsor me...

    I just want to go fast.

    Oooo, I dream of ITV! I fully intend to win one day!

    I'd erect a gorgeous wooden chalet in the garden for a pair of bunnies - the perfect compromise of whether to have house rabbits or not.

    I'd pay for a family holiday, somewhere warm and sunny.

    Then I'd put the rest towards a new car, because it would be lush not to have to drive in wellies (thanks to the leak and the resultant puddle!)

    If there was any change left over, I'd spend it on a pair of wellies, because my current ones have massive holes in so they're completely ineffectual.
