    If you won 1 million on the lottery, what would you spend it on?

    I believe there is a euromilions jackpot of £95 million tonight that must be won?

    I am going to look through the "fascination of maths" thread for tips on picking the winning numbers.

      with an expected return of only £500,000? I think you need to ask sasguru...

      anyway, the euromillions is £1.50 so you must be thinking of the uk lottery?

        You got me. I don't play lotteries and only know about £1 UK lottery by chance. Personally I'd say I'd be gutted to win a million because I would not have made it fair and square, so I am not playing lotteries - it would be a big spoiler if I won

          My wife sometimes enjoys this fantasy. Then she invites me to sit and dream with her and list objects or events that we would spend money on.

          This was fun for a while. But I thought it got boring as we never play the lottery .

          SO last time she asked me to enjoy this game with her I just told her that if I won the lottery for a good size prize I would simply vanish from her life. She would never see me again. This has disappointed her to the level that she has not asked me to this game since. Mission accomplished.

            But if you won you could spend it on marketing SKA, a publicist etc etc.

              Travel, altruism and trinkets.

              In that order.

                    But then everyone would say - he won it because he won the lottery, which helped big time, not because of hard work, good foresight etc.

                    Of course if I knew I would win for sure then I'd probably play, but I had A grade for probabilities (and games theory) course in my Uni, so I ain't playing - I noticed Business students in this country do not get similar courses
