Is £148 million pounds too much?

I am not sure whether I have more expensive tastes than you, things are more expensive on average over on this side of the pond or you are underestimating the costs of things, but I suspect that you would spend a considerable amount more than one million pounds in order to do everything on your list, especially since a posh house is at least half a million dollars over here (and in most cases it is far more than that). Yes, I realize that your pound is more than our dollar, but I still think that it will cost more than you are estimating. The first thing I would do is to make sure that all the taxes were paid on the winnings, because I would not want to have to deal with tax problems in the future, especially at the rate that they compound interest. After that, I would take my family on a much deserved vacation, pay off all my bills, make sure that my children's education was paid for, and then decided what I was going to do after that.

I based my whole career on a lottery win like that. What I do now is my plan B. All I know is that all my family and eveyone close to me would never want again

I will buy the Taj Mahal and transfer it to the moon or wait... Mars is up and coming... that seems to be a better destination Now why Taj Mahal - it is white marble and that building is deteriorating due to pollution. I hope re-locating it would be best to preserve the monument and wonder of the world... as we are not going to cut down on any pollutions here on earth.

With that kind of money I would make a few choice donations, buy a house in the northern most part of the state of Maine overlooking the ocean, a new car, and then no one would ever hear from me again. Except in mylot of course! I could lay outside, under a tree and mylot all day. And yes, I am kind of a lazy person when you come right down to it. ;-)

yes it is alot of money and someone is gonna be lucky tomorrow. I hope you have played one. I play the Australian lotto. We have that one in FIJI. So now If i get that much money, I go crazy. I want to see the world. I will start companies and factories and help the poor whom I know. Wow it will be something. what a dream, I wish to win one day. thanks for sharing, have a wonderful day.

Actually last week the New York State Powerball lottery was worth over $250 million - the same question could be asked about that. Truth is most lotteries of such a size are won not by individuals but either a group of winners or a syndicate.

i would go crazy being able to have that amount of money! converted to peso it will be toooooooooo much! But then i would probably do a lot of things with it, be able to provide well for my family, better future, secured education.. be able to help the needy.. a million things!

In addition to the usual house, car etc., I would definitely put a couple million into my business and build a huge building so I can not only house my company but also create an organization focusing on the community and environment. I would include a community center for the youth and maybe some transitional housing for college students who graduated recently but are at that difficult crossroad on what to do next. It would include a green house so I can grow safe, affordable food for the community and since I work in the music industry, I would create nightclub, various events, tours around the world and create a studio for my radio show/music/DJ productions. All my goals will also benefit people by creating jobs that are much needed in this current economy.
