I`m not a gambler, but I do the national lottery each week with a modest amount, and only done the euromillion`s five times. I`ve never bothered with it. Anyway, the massive jackpot this coming Friday is £112 million pounds! As an outright winner, I`d have no problems with that amount to spend, I`d have a massive new hospital up at Whitfield, and another British space probe on it`s way to Mars for starter`s. What about the rest of you on here?

Colin - that amount would hardly touch the surface of what you want to spend it on.

Maybe a deposit for the hospital then Barry, as I`m not sure of the price, but it should be a huge incentive to get it going? Regarding the probe, the last one for us was Beagle 2, the brain`s behind it being Professor John Pillinger and an Open University team. A modest £24 million pounds, so should have some change from that. Anyway Barry, what are your plans mate?

My plans: their own property for all the family including a student pad for my son in Durham and a pair of semi-detached houses for the Old Man and me (a long-held dream, but he won't play) ; my own animal sanctuary; a tiny restaurant which I would call "Pieces" (I'm taking you to Pieces, etc etc); mega donations to Amnesty and Medicins sans Frontiers; a Harley; a cuddly toy...............

£112 million smackeroonies, one can only dream of what you would do with it, we all wish and dream of what one would do, IF it did happen then how much would change?
My dream would be to have the River Dour looking fantastic and looked after, Bring in experts that know what they are talking about and have long term employment looking after it.
It's only a dream.........I suppose we'll have to put up with the crap we already have.

Sadly Ross the money can not buy health but it can make illness a lot more comfortable and take away the financial worries that plague so many ill people.
On a lighter note I would have no trouble getting rid of such a vast sum of money. All family members and very close friends would be taken care of and my favourite charities would receive very large donations on condition it was spent the way I dictate
. I would then give to any other cause that took my fancy for as long as I lived.

Apparently, the winner of the unclaimed prize is losing £45,000 per week in interest. Currently, Camelot are getting the interest which is forwarded on to good causes.
