Thats why I'd get a day to day hack, An RS6 Estate but debadged. Already live out the way and its not out the ordinary to see ferrari's/lambo's etc on a day to day basis so wouldn't stick out that much.

Most people would probably see is a new suit and watch

Zero publicity!!

Although the 86M euromillions would be hard to hide & theres no way I could live where I do just now with people around here knowing I had that sort of kitty. You'd get taken hostage on a weekly basis out of jealousy!!

I think i'd move abroad for a while, just to reflect on what I want to do in lfe, as money opens a lot of doors.

If it was a smaller amount 1-2M then I recon I could sit on my hands so to speak a fair bit & not be seen as a lotto winner. As said the Galardo in the garage would be a bit of a givaway though!!

If its a massive jackpot id go public. Like its been said above money opens doors but it doesnt if people dont know you have it. Ye you would get harassed for a little while but it would go away and you would be left with magazine/photo shoot offers if you wanted it to go that way. You could either buy a business and live a quiet and refined life or you could go out and blow it living the playboy lifestyle at which point some celebrity decides she wants you and then you can live off magazine offers for your wedding/child birth/divorce/affairs etc.

In all seriousness though the first thing id do is help my mum and dad out. Pay their house off, clear debts, buy them new cars and send them on a holiday. Id buy my sister a horse so she could compete in horse trials again. Then id treat myself to a nice house with nice gardens and a nice garage. Nothing mega though ive never seen the point in having 14 bedrooms when its just you and your other half. A few nice cars, a couple of toys (motorbikes, powerboats, quads, microlites, etc), a small business and then living off the interest would suit me just fine

I would probably go public. Would like to just go all over the world.

1st thing i would do it to rent out Necker Island for a month £50,000. And just bring the whole family over And decide what to do with my life!

Infact, scrap that. For exclusive use its $36,000 a night. So that would be $1million.

Maybe just a few weeks then could still afford it either way though!
