DH has just checked the lottery and, of course, we haven’t won but it got me thinking what would I do if we had a really bit win (talking many millions)? Of course I would make sure that my family were well catered for but then it would be lovely to set up some sort of charity and make a big difference to some people’s lives.
What would other GNs do?

Pay off the kids mortgages, cars, etc., big once in a lifetime holiday for us all then living the life we want. Really good quality food, days out, theatre, concerts, cinema, etc. wouldn’t move, love where we are. Might buy the flat next door for guests, though 😁
Mum will need residential care in the not too distant future so would help out with that.

Were it many millions, would set up a housing trust and build some truly affordable homes.

Depends on how much was won - lovely to pay off my mortgage, my kids mortgages and book myself into a retreat for six months to concentrate solely on myself and getting my health better then help out those who have been kind to my family recently. But last two lottery wins were for £5 each so not much I could do with that.
