If you suddenly won £2.5m on the lotto....How exactly would your life change? What would be different?

Probably very little.2.5 mill is an income of 125k a year at 5%.
I'd probably be boring and live off the interest, saving it up to buy things. It's unlikely I'd touch the capital. I've had too little for too long to risk blowing an opportunity like that.

The trouble with 5% is that the only way you'd get that sort of rate is in a 5-year bond that doesn't pay out 'till the maturity.But you could happily take 500-750k of that, buy whatever property within reason you want, have enough operating cash to last until the maturity, and then replenish the 500-750k at the end of 5 years; repeat ad-nausium.

I haven't looked into it too deeply, to be honest.I'd be wanting to never work again, so I wouldn't be taking any risks with the money. I'd be happy to sit back on the interest and loaf around fixing up cars.

I would hire N-Dubz to do a private concert for me and my friends and it would be awesome. I'd go on a trip around the world, but by cycling, and I'd bring a person or two, but I don't know who I'd bring, probably Broadsword.

£2.5mwouldn't change your life THAT much. i mean, it would be nice to buy a bigger flat etc, but you need about £25m to give up work forever.
god how i'd love to give up work today, i am about to have a slanging match with someone over £2k. i do not get out of bed for £2k.

£2.5m would mean I could give up work foreverOnce you've got a house and car, with no mortgage or debts then your monthly outgoings are severely reduced. From investing the rest of the money (say 1.5-2 mil after setting yourself up and having a holiday or two) you can live easily off of the returns.

How'd you come to that particular number?Surely it entirely depends on how you manage it and how you live?

That's kind of what I was getting at.I could live quite comfortably on the interest from 1 million, let alone 2.5.

So would I and with 1 million they'd have to wait until I'd built up some spare,but if we're talking about the practicalities of living, 1 million would be enough.

I would pay a secret agentto surreptitiously daub a big, black line over the top of Heston Blumenthal's gleaming, bald pate, to make it look like his head was a crudely-drawn willy.

SimpleEveryone I care about would have their house paid for and given a couple of years worth of wages deposited into their bank account to leave their job and go have fun and find a new job without worrying too muich about it.
Also, I would set up a fund for people I care about who have the want to get through Uni.
And, I would start a charity to help out of work Trannies.
