    I don't know what I would buy first but as soon as those millions of pounds would be in my account I'd quit my job. In a polite way and I'd work my two week notice.

    I'd would tel everyone that I have got another job somewhere else because I'd make sure that my lottery-win would remain a secret.

    A nice detached house, nothing excessive, and then an Aston Martin DB9.

    Yeah I think I'd do the same, I'd also set up an investment account for the main bulk of the win that 'pays' a wage into my normal account on a monthly or weekly basis and tell people I had a new job but was working from home.

    Strangely I wouldn't want the 'millionaire' lifestyle.

    Personally I'd get a bespoke suit made, then go on the ultimate indulgent spending spree. It would be good. :D

    Only one..!?

    To be honest I don't think you'd actually have to buy one. Women can smell money at a thousand paces. :D

    I agree they'd come running with their t*ts hanging out the minute they knew you'd won a large amount on the lottery.

    I'd talk for ages with b/f about how best to invest or deal with the money

    I'd pay for my parents to have a luxury holiday and I'd pay out for mum to re-decorate the the house as she wanted.

    I'd set up several schemes whereby interest (i'd be lucky these days!) off the lump-sum would be ploughed straight into the 6 charities I support.

    Substantial annual donations also to the National Eisteddfod of Wales, Society for Welsh Education in Patagonia, and Plaid Cymru.

    Me and b/f would also buy a house obviously - one exactly as we wanted with a nice garden - both herbaceous and vegetable.

    I wouldn't quit my job - I love it.

    Perhaps they mean a blow-up woman, but they didn't like to say. Maybe they'll go so far as to get one for every day of the week. :D

    I'd find the best breast surgeon in the world and have my boobs reduced. I'd then have a bit of lipo on my baby belly to get rid of the remaining flubber.

    Then after I'd paid off my children's university debts it would be holiday time!
