Did a stint at a supermarket when I first left school and the was a guy there a bit on the odd side you used to carry a little black notebook around with him. Anyone that pissed him off went in the book. Reckoned if he ever got cancer or anything like that he could then go and kill everyone off that was in his book. It was quite funny to be threated with going in the book. You do that again and I will put you in the book!
I wouldn't give to charity.... they just waste it paying someone ?6 an hour ringing people bothering them while they're eating tea. I would however invest in industry within the commonwealth providing jobs for 1000's including my family members. I would also buy a castle and stock it with everything a gentleman would want and plenty of rooms to stay.. I would offer everyone here and their other halves pampered weekends away whenever they needed one, just because I could.

I'm with you, I'd absolutely try and fix the unemployment issue and invest in an industry (non profit, because why would I need it) to create jobs that paid a decent wage and actively educated people. I would try and bridge the gap of being on benefits for the sake of it and able to get a better income by working. That would also have the added benefit of increasing the funds for those who absolutely deserve and need it.
I would however take time out to enjoy myself, ensure my family was taken care of.
I would travel the world, not in luxury but to experience the culture and for places, buy land and design and build my own house with a cellar to hold various bottles of wine and spirits, some even by the barrel [emoji2] and of course a walk in humi, sack that, I'll just buy JH fox!
Pay off mum and sister' mortgages. Buy myself a house, including a wonderful walk in humidor and wine/whisky cellar (then stock them).
Thereafter, I have no idea, charity will figure somewhere but I don't know how.

On the assumption that the alert email has gone into my spam folder, and I am shortly required to pop to Lottery Towers to pick up the cash...
First move? make nearest n dearest financially secure.
Second move? investment project - find a money pit of a country estate. Then engage a team of 'artisan' craft businesses to do the restoration/ remake work.
Support these trades and skills in making something with a legacy. Of course... walk in humi & smoking salon, extensive wine & spirits cellar with tasting room, gun room, etc etc etc... find the skills and invest. potential to leave a legacy. Its all a bit modern victorian - philanthropy and exploration to create and leave a legacy- but it would keep me out of trouble.
So would I still smoke the same? yep. Just a few more of them more often. Cant say I would simply flip to buying only the most expensive (Behikes I suppose? or mega-aged?). I might look into having my own custom smokes made up. Perhaps to have as a 'house special' in the new UKCF Clubhouse... of course they would get their own walk in hum*i, as would each major cuban producer, and a smaller room to bring together the smaller lines, and another for NC's of note.
What it is to dream.....
* worth saying the Bolivar walk in would have a tricky lock on it to stop the floors being worn out due to the 'free to vend for members' rules...

I'd live a comfortable life with many luxuries to hand. Family, friends, would be sorted.
And then I'd aim to spend the rest of my life helping those around the world (directly in person) who need it the most.
