Head over to BuyLottoTicket to find out more and to take part. 

So, you’ve entered your draws, and now all that’s left to do is imagine what on earth you’ll be spending your big winnings on. Picture yourself in that Porsche? Why not! Here, we take a look at some of the exciting ways you could spend a mega lottery jackpot win.  

The holiday of a lifetime

You may wish to treat family members or friends and bring them with you on the adventure, or perhaps this one is just for you.

Most people, when you ask them what they would spend a big cash win on, would answer by saying a luxury holiday. A chance to get away in the short term and decide on what to do with the rest of your winnings, a dream getaway is a great option. You may wish to treat family members or friends and bring them with you on the adventure, or perhaps this one is just for you. Whether you head off on a lavish cruise, book that ever-longed-for trip to Bora Bora or decide it’s time to take the adventure of a lifetime travelling across China, South America, New Zealand or Canada, there are plenty of ways in which you can enjoy the experience before returning to your new reality. 

Giving back

Now that you have found yourself in a position where you are more fortunate than most, you may wish to take the opportunity to help those who need it. Whether you leave your job and devote a chunk of your spare time to charity work or you support an existing charity financially or even work towards setting up a charity for a cause close to your heart, there are plenty of ways in which your big win can make a difference to others in the world.

Gifting to friends and family

Gifts
A jackpot win would certainly give you the opportunity to put a smile on the faces of those you hold dear

There’s no greater feeling than gifting others, especially your loved ones, and a jackpot win would certainly give you the opportunity to put a smile on the faces of those you hold dear. Do you want to buy your mother a house? Your sister and her family a dream holiday? Your closest friend a new car? Well, now you can!

Car of dreams

Of course, you most probably won’t be looking to give all of your winnings away, and you will likely wish to treat yourself a little along the way. And by a little, we mean a lot. Aside from property, the biggest expense will possibly be a brand-new luxury car to go with your new-found status. Rolls-Royce, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Lexus, Bentley – the list of luxury car brands goes on and the range of models there are to choose from seem practically endless. Don’t forget to fully customise your car, too, for the ultimate opulent buy and enjoy the process, you’ve no doubt been waiting a while for an opportunity like this!    

A dream home

With a big jackpot win you could certainly afford to purchase your own palatial home to live in

There’s no doubt that you already live in a lovely home, but a mega jackpot win means that you can go all out on a place that you will really love. Ask yourself if you wish to stay in your locale or will you take the opportunity to move elsewhere? Have you always fancied living in a castle? With a big jackpot win you could certainly afford to purchase your own palatial home to live like a king or queen in. Once you’re in you can make all the renovations you require and add all the additions you desire – a wine cellar, swimming pool, cinema room, the services of a chef, housekeeper, driver – whatever you want, you can now have it.
