10 things we’d do for our loved ones if we won the Lotto

Just imagine it…

Winning the Lotto is the ultimate dream. It’s hard not to fantasise about what you would do with all that moolah. We would definitely buy ourselves an exotic holiday and maybe a brand new car too.

But of course, if we won we would have to treat the people nearest and dearest to us too. After all, they’re the people who have been there since the beginning and look out for us no matter what.

Here are the 10 things we would do for our loved ones if we just so happened to win the Lotto.

Hey, it’s the thought that counts right?

1. Treat our mum to the perfect spa getaway

Somewhere really special like Monart or maybe even a five-star resort abroad. Our mums work hard so it’s only right that we would treat them to the ultimate pamper session. Who knows we might even get invited along too.

2. Buy our dad his dream car

Has your dad been obsessed with Landrovers since he was little? Or maybe he is more of a Lamgourgini man? Just imagine how amazing it would be to pull up in his dream car and hand him the keys. The look on his face alone would be priceless.

3. Take our friends on the best girls’ holiday ever

Our friends have been there through thick and thin so it’s only right that we would treat them with some of our new-found riches. We would love nothing more than to whisk them away on an all-expenses paid trip to Bali. Sun, sea and the whole crew having fun, it doesn’t get much better than that.

4. Pay our little bros college fees

College can be expensive, especially if you’re doing a four-year course. Imagine being able to pay for your younger siblings college tuition just like that. Your parents would be delighted too.

5. Buy a big family holiday home

Somewhere along the coast and have a huge annual family holiday there every year with your whole extended family. We’re thinking an indoor pool and built-in BBQ is an absolute must.  Just think of the parties.

6. Throw a concert in our hometown

And invite all our neighbours, relatives, family friends and locals to attend. We would rent out a massive field and create our very own festival with amusements, stages and lots of different areas. It would be the perfect way to celebrate our win.

7. Give our sister’s home the ultimate makeover

Our sisters deserve the very best. We would love nothing more than to give her whole home a massive revamp. We would bring in an interior designer and completely deck the place out.

8. Give our bestie some money to play with

We would definitely give our best friend some money that she could spend in whatever way she likes. Maybe on a designer handbag or a weekend trip, she can make up her own mind.

9. Book a romantic trip away for your significant other

After all the craziness of winning, we would have to treat our SO to a romantic getaway somewhere like Bora Bora or Barbados for a once in a lifetime trip. It would be the perfect opportunity to just switch off and enjoy the winnings. Pure bliss!

10. Start a family business

Do you have a family full of budding entrepreneurs? If we won the Lotto we would start up an amazing family business that everyone could get involved in.

They say it’s impossible to look after others until you’ve looked after yourself first, so we might just have to buy ourselves that Gucci bag we’ve been eyeing up after all …
