If I win ill take everyone on the thread for three weeks skiing in a 5 star hotel with hot and cold running chambermaids (and butlers for the ladies or if thats you bag)flown over in a private jet all expenses paid with new skis,and gear helicopter skiing and top guides.
Now shame on anyone elso who wins and isnt so generous.
Disclamer this only applies to a win over the 5 mill mark and not my usual £8.20

better get on the thread pretty quick then...
my sensible head would buy somewhere for my boys so they can afford to leave home before they're 30, do all the house repairs, pay off the mortgage, have a season travelling ski resorts worldwide and buy a piano bar for the husband in our favourite.
I think £1,000,000 would do it, I'm not greedy :mrgreen:
One Swiss Franc actually :D

Am afraid if i win I'll carry on doing what I'm doing just in a bit more luxury.... :shock:
I will however justify that comment by adding that the year ahead involves a ski season in Canada (if I can get there since I'm currently holed up in a hotel in Newark due to flights being canceled yesterday) I'm then home for a month as my bro gets married and then a trip round the world beckons that will include skiing in Chile/Argentina and NZ!!
One difference the money would make is that I wouldn't work next years ski season but spend it playing again before deciding how to make a proper dent in the money!! :lol:

Wow, sounds like we're all in that lottery this Friday. I think that buying a few choice apartments around the world to chase the sun and snow would do me fine. I am a man of simple tastes.

Bon ski!

If I win it all, I'll treat everybody on this thread to a week in St Anton to celebrate. :D

:DI have already bought my ticket and put it in my lucky ski sock...mind you on past luck it might be better to call it my unlucky sock :D
I think the first thing i would do after making sure my family and closest friends were taken care of,would be to buy a 6 - 8 bdroom all ensuite chalet in the Tarentaise...but would have my main home in switzerland (on overlooking lake Geneva) for tax reasons :DOh i would not tell Gordon Brown where i ws going aswell....as no doubt the thieving little commie would try and steal some of it :D

Hi Andy,
On you're question about the cost of a smmall resort, since the fall of the pound and interest rates the commune of Sainte-Foy has banned people from putting for sale boards on their balconies, as if they had not it would look like the whole resort was for sale,50 million or so big ones would buy a lot of chalets.
