Well if it was the Euro-millions I would put it into putting together parallel computers. Setting up free courses on teaching parallel computing methods. Getting a bunch of biological chemists and programmers, computer hardware engineers to create simulations of human chemistry. The purpose is to promote parallel computing methods. Simulate human chemistry to see what the effect of drugs have on the body. Promote understanding and solutions to medical problems of the human. - Maybe the Euromillions is not enough.!

We'd buy a small house somewhere pretty but accessible by public transport - there are some gorgeous villages on the bus route from Brum to Coventry and we'd love to be there. We'd still work but only part-time and we'd own a narrow-boat so we could just set off and wander along the canals for our holidays.
No lavish life-style, just a more comfortable version of the life we have now, and big donations to a few charities.

I've just read through all the posts on this thread and I've noticed again what thoughtful people Ais's fans are.  |

Oh if i would win the lottery i think i would be utterly selfish in one way and spend it on myself depending what i won lol I would pay my last and ever debt which everytime i pay at a bit more interest gets added on lol, i would get 2 flats ie a place where i live and a holiday home in London why not. I would pay my parents home for them and do up whats needed to be done, and give them money too Give money to a couple of charities to do with cancer and animals. Both mean a lot to me Set up my own company as well - |

 Weird just saw this after I posted same question on questions, questions, questions thread ;D If I won the lottery....like a BIG HUGE amount, firstly I'd pick myself up off the floor, have a strong sweet mug of tea...good for shock, then book a weeks holiday in Tenby to think carefully about what to do next, but I'd probably pay off all my debts...if there was any left  I'd give some to my family and my partners family, get a car( a little car) and take my test until I passed ;D Then buy new house, not big or flashy just a local house , give some money to Marie Curie Hospice , George Thomas and UK Brain Tumour Society, then I'd book cruise to Alaska and visit British Columbia, then I'd go Shopping ;D how weird is it that we have a thread/question on same subject?? great minds CS...great minds...
