What would you spend £88m on?



Barrel of Fun

Abort, retry, fail
Euromillions fever seems to have gripped Sussex with newsagents, post offices and Supermarkets inundated with punters determined to claim the whopper jackpot.

What would you do with £88m?

Buy Zef the workshop of his dreams, so he can really get his projects organized and done.
Buy a house in Australia, so we could do 6 months here and 6 months there and be able to fly business class all the time.
Invest a signficant amout of it to live off the interest, with a significant amout put away to cover the tax.
Pay off the mortgage.
Convert our loft to a BIG master bedroom and ensuite. (we wouldn't move as we like it here)
Finish all the DIY jobs in the house and buy a flat screen tv!
Help my little sister buy a house or flat.
Put some in a fund for Arthur.

and the list goes on...

Can you see I have thought about this :lol:

"Quick pack your bags! I've just won £88m!"

"Where are we going?"

"I don't give a f*** where you're going, just get out of my f***ing house woman!"

I can't do first class as when I flew it before it was all single seats and I need to have Zef next to me. Just so I can dig my nails in his arm when I get frightened which is usually about 23 of the 24 hour journey home :lol: He loves me lots he does :lol:

Put it in the bank. In a normal bank account for one week that £88m would earn you £176000 on its own. Within a year you would be doing very well I reckon.

In all honesty, I'd give up my job, put £20m aside and then get involved in charity work. It would a nice feeling getting to cherry pick where your personal fortune could be spent so well.

Mr problem would be when I see some friends of ours who struggle with money through no fault of their own. Wouldn't it be patronising to just give them a load of money? Which is what I'd want to do...

£88 is a serious amount of money. After all the usual house, holiday, car, see the family alright, charidee stuff, there would still be loads left over, and I would definately invest in/buy The Albion

Chairman Pasty - I quite like that.

I can assure you from the heart of my bottom, I would not feel patronised - nor would Mrs P for that matter. :lol:

Put £50 million in the bank, live off the Interest,

Spend £10 million on a house/cars/crap

Give £18 million to friends & family
Give £10 million to BHAFC for the Wanderer Stand at Falmer
 




I've often thought that the really FUN thing to do with a sum like £88 million would be to give it all away - in some bizarre, arbitrary way that will leave no-one thinking that you are being particularly generous to people who deserve a break. Dealing with MOANERS would be my top priority.

Something like this ...

£88 million will buy something like 4,400,000 tickets to watch the Albion. That's the home end full at Withdean for 550 games (or 22 years). At the very least, it would be FUN to do a deal with the Club that guaranteed FREE ADMISSION to Albion supporters for every season between now and, say, three years after we start playing at Falmer.

That would at least shut up most of the moaners. And fill the ground.

With the money left over, I'd provide free bus travel for everyone throughout Sussex for a year. More moaners dealt with.

And Harvey's bitter would be FREE in pubs that I like.

And I reckon I'd still have cash left to blow on myself and the family.

Terms and conditions apply.
