No brainer...same as you and probably all on here! Then I'd try to change laws as to unlicensed breeding of dogs and horses whilst trying to rescue as many animals as possible. I'd want to help the homeless (people)too and lonely eldery people. My one guilty and vain pleasure would be liposuction so I could comfortably get back in my 13.2. Oh and purchase a 14.2 dressage pony, a grey fell and I would quit my job. Would putting in a swimming pool be vulgar or a necessity?

same as above, i would also set up a charity to buy 6-8 month old pups off idiots who buy them with no intention of keeping them, i would then find them deserving, forever homes, sick of reading small ads for the above at the moment

Apart from the usual paying off debts (mortgage and loan we took out to develop and expand business) and helping out friends, family, charity, I am pretty happy with my lot, there is only one thing I can think of that I would really love which would be a complete indulgence and I don't even know how much it would cost - loads though - and that is a swimming pool. Not that we have anywhere to put one, but as I don't actually buy a lottery ticket, it is not likely to be an issue.

I wouldn't tell anyone I had won the money . What I would do is open a shop selling something randomly useless such as novelty toilet roll dispensers or macrame light pulls . I would then , over a period of time , buy a country estate , a few smart cars , luxury horsebox , my dream string of horses , etc etc . Why ? Oh because it would be so worth it just to see people standing outside your s**t shop , fully staffed but devoid of customers , scratching their heads and wondering ' How on earth does she do it ?'

I would re build my barn and put an annexe in so i could have a live in dog sitter. Then i would buy a villa in the sun and go whenever i wanted and not have to worry about the ponies and dogs

Depends on how much you win. Hopefully, I would have enough to spread some of the money/joy. Holiday homes lots of people could use. Ponies for lots of people to ride. Space to be able to look after/entertain lots of people, etc.
