Thats it, 100 UK tickets are going to win £1,000,000 and theres a £105,000,000 jackpot, just wondering, what would everyone do with the money?
For the million, I would renovate my current house and move the in-laws in rent free, renovate my mums house, buy the house round the corner from me for £230k, new car or 3 and put some in trust funds for the kids, and go back to uni and learn something useful and start a business with the rest. Aswell as a new wardrobe from savile row and a holiday and membership at Royal Birkdale and Everton season ticket.
For the £105m, probably £4-6m on a house, spend maybe £10-15m on other property to rent out, holiday home in Florida (or just buy a hotel room) and maybe a boat. Obviously go with the classic car collection, give £10m to Alder Hey and Help for Heroes and some to a working dogs charity. Buy some shares in Everton FC and purchase Pienaar or Landon Donovan, spend a silly amount on 1950's guitars, go back to uni and then start a business when I graduate, maybe invest in a F1 team, definitely start a racing team and compete in some 24h races, plus most of the stuff above and gifts for friends and family but not spoil them so they rely on me for everything, buy a few small shops, give my kids the best education possible, sorry for waffling a bit but theres a lot you could do with that sort of money.

If I won £105m, I'd blow £1m on lucky dip lottery tickets for the next rollover.

If you won £105m would you really bother with renting out a property? You could probably make more money from interest.

personally for the million i think you'd run out of money by the time you've gone through uni...
we were discussing this in work and i came to the conclusion i'd upgrade nearly everything i own, house, car, clothes, TV, to the level i wish i could buy without being extravagant, a 4 bedroom detached house with nice garden, hot tub, driveway and garages etc
a few nice cars, a holiday home, that klind of thing
and avoid going donw the route of a show of millionaire with 10+bedroom mansion with heli-pad and olympic sized swimming pool, 16 cars i never get time to drive and a large collection of anything fancy just because it sounds good!

seriously £105m, dont think you would run out.
i often think of this, i would buy a farm with lots of land and no neighbours for miles, build a state of the art tasteful home with around 8 bedrooms, then i would have a batcave style garage with room for 100 cars with lots of space for moving around and working on them, id have a couple of guys working there keeping them in order and all my good friends would be on my insurance policy with fuel cards so they can drive any car whenever they want.
I wouldnt buy any other properties or boats, i would just rent them, no need for extra hasstle.

Was talking about this earlier with the mrs, for the million I'd buy a house for around 400k including sale of current house.
A few nice cars, set up a business for the mrs that we would both run. Definitely keep minimum 100k away for rainy day fund.
Give the family a choice of envelopes with different amounts written inside so theres no squabling over he or she got more than me.
Edited for clarification
