Obviously the right thing to do is to give it all away, right?

It's funny I've played this scenario through my head so many times. First of all I'd ensure the money was physically in my account first. Then I'd go to work as normal and play "see how long it takes me to get a disciplinary" by starting off turning up late every day then sitting there doing nothing etc as well as being rude to people.
When I get the disciplinary I'd turn up with a photocopy of my bank balance then whack £1k on the table and say "go get the team some donuts but don't choke" then turn around and wave goodbye.
I've thought about this too much

The first thing would be to make sure my nearest and dearest are financially secure for the rest of their lives. Thereafter it would be to try to do some good with it. Specifically for children of various ages the try to encourage them into sport. All whilst trying to remain anonymous so that I can maintain my current lifestyle with a few little extras. Not a lot of chance of winning but if you’re not in the raffle you can’t win a prize.

One of the rather pointless games us ex-pats would play in moments of waiting for the locals to catch up was working out what would happen to a sum such as this if somebody not born into money won it.
We used a street sweeper in rural China as an example but any non-silver-spooned person will do.
The consensus was that the whole lot would be pissed away within 3 generations, no matter what was done by the winner to best invest and protect it.

Buy a football club. Not ours, but one much more deserving. And have a stand named after me. Buy a windmill somewhere near the Norfolk coast, and go and live in it. And change my phone number.

Sounds like a plan, have at least one stand named after a famous wheelchair user and and end named after Jamie Bell.

At least he isn’t going to waste the money!
That’s too much money, it’s a big responsibility £5m £8m is my number - buy a nice house mortgage free and some investment properties, to give a nice monthly income. £10k a month would be more than enough.
If I won that sort of money I wouldn’t know where to start - I wouldn’t mind seeing what it felt like to be absolutely cako’d though and doing some good with it.

Never been into cars or expensive shit, so reckon with that I could pretty much sort out all of my mates for life with enough for me to piss about drinking around the world and watching cricket for my remaining 20 odd years.

buy mansions galore, live the high life, have a chauffeur, personal butler and chef etc, buy an island and then send a screenshot of my bank balance to my current bosses so they can feel like they're sharing in the win and get joy from it too

I’d travel the world in style, watching all of the major sporting events, playing golf on all the best courses and eating food at the nicest restaurants.
I’d also make sure that family and friends were all looked after.
Finally, I’d find the cunt who decided that it was a good idea to discontinue ‘Orange Viscounts’ and have him/her assassinated. Then start the factory lines up again and, out of spite, stop producing the shitty mint ones.

Then wake up the next day having somehow spent £184m in there.
