Just how would you spend it
It would be a nightmare I think
Why can't it be split into 53winners

Why can't it be split into 53winners

I couldn't agree with you more, saundra, I've always thought that about these big lottery payouts .....

As for what to do with the money, I'm minded about that couple in Dundee or somewhere who spent a considerable sum funding the Scottish Nationalist Party over the referendum - and arguably by doing so, they will have left a permanent mark on the affairs of this country. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, I'll leave to others to decide ....

If it were me, I think I'd give a sizeable chunk away to charities, smaller ones where I knew the money would "make a difference" .....

It would be a full-time job!
I'd quite enjoy it - I'd give a lot to established charities, though not the best-known ones, and for medical research. Some people I know are looking to start up a charity so that would get a chunk to get them going.

And I wouldn't own much - I'd rent a nice house here (but not toooo big), and rent abroad wherever and whenever I fancied.
It wouldn't buy my health though Also - I'd need to first buy a ticket

You're right there Di.

I would buy new printers for my local clinic, sort out their electrics and computers - they were without anything for 10 days not so long ago

I'd also help out some of the really poor bods in our village and make sure that those people who have to use the communal cold water wash - I'll see if I can find a link somewhere - have hot water to wash their clothes in.

You wouldn't think, in this day and age, that there are some people in this country, without running water. They have to use these wash-rooms - remember the old wash-boards? My grandparents had one, but until we moved here, hadn't seen one for years.

And yes, I'd try and help asthma, cancer and bods in my position.

I wouldn't give to the big charities simply because I object to the huge
Sums of money they wast on top management and huge office complexes
I would however give to small charities and like ton said help individuals
Most people just need peace of mind a decent house and some cash in a crisis
And to sleep without worrying in the middle of the night

Wise words Saundra xx

I think the responsibility of that amount of money would be huge but image the good you could do with it

I think it would cause a lot of problems though in your family life unless it was all rock solid! One or two million would be a lot more manageable

Forgot to say what I would do lol

I would make sure my children were financially secure but not to the extent that it would take away their independence and I would spend a lot of time abroad maybe even emigrate but certainly travel Mick could retire

My wonderful friends Jan and Carlos who run Dogs in Brazil would never have to worry about money again

I'd love to have that amount of cash at my disposal. One could certainly do a lot of good.

Also, with 53 million pounds I would gladly spend a few million on taking out legal
proceedings on Tony Blair for the offences he committed when PM.

What would I do about begging letters? I'd still keep sending them.

I heartily agree Aggers. Just looking at the repulsive creature when he promoting Miliband made me physically nauseous.
