If you won the Euro lottery what's the First thing you'd buy?

First book a world cruise and on the cruise decide but i think it would go a bit like this ( depends how much i won mind you) A BIG house with LOTS and LOTS of land and a nice stable block and a big outdoor school, big indoor school and a small arena for lunging, a horse walker and a horse swiming pool thing. A nice big fancy lorry, a new car or two, more horses obv! and lots and lots of junk that i want but dont really need!!!

Oh and i cant forget, i'd have to give everyone in my family and close friends some money and give some to a good charity
 
I give my horse away. Then my houses.

I'd tell work I'm off on holiday... PERMANENTLY!!! :D:D:D:D:D

If I felt like riding, I'll pop to a resort and ride a haute ecole trained lusitano and one tempi my way off into the sunset...........

Have breakfast in NY. Lunch in London. Tea in Paris and Dinner in Italy.... everyday. Just cos I can.
 
I would give every penny to the lovely couple where i keep my horse ,to help stop the HS2 cutting straight through there farmland,and them losing there valuable grazing .

Book my driving test/theory, and buy myself a brand new Focus RS in orange ;) yumm! Give half the money to my mum and her partner. Buy myself a small 2/3 horse lorry with all the jazz! Buy my mum whatever horse she wanted. Buy her partner some new boats for his business. Buy some land and build myself a huge olympic size indoor school, and a gallop track. Too many ideas! :(
 
You don't need to tell the boss, you will be Headline News (it was a local couple who just won £161M)
I would like a nice estate in the Cotswolds but might go for one in Brittany, or maybe both.
I might have a little trip around Europe with friends, staying in nice little hotels and travelling on the Orient express.
Set up a small stud, New Forest probably, so I'd need an estate in the NF, obviously.
I'd like to go to Poland for some reason, and St Petersburgh at Christmas.
Not sure what I'd do after that, give a few distant relatives a little parcel of money.
I'd have several houses, all cleaned by ladies who like hoovering and making sure the log fires were well looked after.
 
I dont' think I'd tell anyone becasue you hear so many stories about how $$ destroys lives. But I'm not sure how I'd explain the sudden spending if I didn't... :)

1) A house with lots of land. I know exactly which property I want to buy!
2) By mum place of her dreams do up their current place for my dad.
3) A plane ticket to the UK to come and meet all the nutters I've 'met' on HHO! And do a winters hunting ;)
4) Suppose I'd better give my sister some :(
5) Rest on 'good works'
 
Buy a property with indoor outdoor schools x-country course and gallops.
Some new horses for me to ride and a fabulous new lorry. I'd also buy a top clas SJ, eventer and dressage horse or ten for our top riders to ride so I can travel the world and be an owner, give some money to family, charity, especially horse welfare charities (not RSPCA). Have a holiday or two, get some top class instruction for myself, rescue a few neglected horses, buy loans of pairs of Louboutins but never wear them and get myself a chef to cook me gorgeous healthy food!
 
house with land, stables, indoor / outdoor schools, start plotting an xc course etc :p either with a cottage on site or something for my mother (or a wing of the house :p)

then a highland x sports horse type :D and some sheeps!

And naturally, my mum can stop working, so she'd be happy. Then she could get herself a retired grey hound / start rescuing cats and rabbits (one or the other, I don't think greyhounds and cats / rabbits would be the best combination!) whatever she desires...

Maybe some nice matchy matchy and a dressage saddle for the middle highland too... I could keep going like this forever!
 
I would not sell rather than buy. The 2 young eventers I have co-bred, rather than selling them (I absolutely adore them, they are such sweet girls) I'd put them in training at decent eventing yards.
 
I would buy lots of land and build stables to suit my difficult to manage copd cob! He would of course need another horse as a companion ;)

I'd buy a ski chalet and we would go often:)

I would employ a groom, a cook, a house keeper and a cleaner

I would have lots more dogs and so much land they could run around all day to their hearts content.

But most importantly my husband could give his shares from his company to his partner and GIVE UP WORK! That would just be the best thing of all. :D

I'd also give my family huge cheques to do as they wish!
