Pay off all debts

Buy a nice house with land overlooking the sea in my favourite area of Cornwall.

On the land - decent garage, and a small caravan site (5CL?) to get some income.

Buy all the things I want which I cannot afford

If it was a big enough lottery win then I would buy a disused airfield.

Imaginethe possibilities.  Big hangers for OOF Cambelt meets.  Fully equiped workshops, ramps and pits etc.  Plenty of camping space.  Just imagine the ammount of motor events you could create.

Mig Drag Racing
Mig Slalom
Mig Circuit race etc

Could even have a "Other Vx Day" and Other car events.  4x4, quad racing, go karting.

Live music events.  Create a rally circuit like the place Michelle Mouton own where 2 rally cars race against each other.

The list is endless

Even a hairdressers day for MX5 owners.  ;D ;D

MX5's aren't hairdressers or girlie cars just a real laugh to drive, cheap & reliable. (Not all Migs can claim the last two)!!
   Anyway when i win the lottery (tonight) i'll buy a modest size barn conversion with galleried landings, en suite bathrooms, proffesional kitchen (oh yes) & loads of land, storage, workshops, in & outdoor pools. etc. No need personally to fly off abroad though i'm sure i'd do some travelling, America/India but no resorts for me.

   Saving the best til last i'd have a tarmac oval race circuit built & open my own Banger Racing track like i used to race on @ Angmering W Sx. (Oval race club) to be run as a hobby/income & for OOF days i'd have a few MX5's all caged up & track prepped for you lot to do 8 lap races in & see how much fun they are!!!! :y

Travelling to America is a must.  Fill a few containers up with V8 engines and gearboxes and then go hunt doen some muscle cars to buy and send home.

I would allocate up to 50% to family and the rest to my projects in Africa. Put money into building project (orphanage) in Ghana in 2006 and it was finished and opened in April this year. Working on a bigger one now in another West African country. I make sure we proivide the bricks and mortar and that the maintenance is ongoing and sustainable.

You just need enough for yourself and your family to be comfortable - I think the excesses achievable with a lottery win are not good for anyone (but it depends on the size of win and the health etc of your family as to what you set aside) but I do understand why we are all conditioned to go for it and sod everyone else.

I agree that MX-5 are great cars. But they are really a car for the ladies in my opinion.
I have two friends that own ,or have owned one. Both women. :-* :-* :-* :-*

If I hit the jackpot .......
I'd go on long-term sick leave, and let the beggers pay me off under the severance scheme. Then I'd donate the pay-off to a good cause!

Assuming it was a milion or two..

It'd be a huge worskhop with a nice house attached but wouldn't give up work - probably go contract or just arrange to work half the time.

Need something to keep me occupied when cars drive me up the wall every now and then!  Added to that - can't live off the interest at the moment...

Big holiday session as wifey likes sunnier parts of the world - and she'd get a shopping spree at Tiffany.

Would also treat my folks to the best holiday of their lives..

Ooh thanks for the offer Pete I'm tempted. I have actually been in and driven a couple of MX5 of my friends, and that is why I know they are great little cars.
