Just Won £1 Million on a Scratchcard

I wish!! What would you do with the winnings? Top 3 things x

I would buy both sons a house (obviously let them choose) and pay off my mortgage. Put enough aside to supplement my pension so I could live comfortably and then divvy the rest among other family members.

1. Hästens Vividus bed - sleep 10 hours a day

2. First class ticket to Tokyo

3. A 4.5kg Toblerone

1 look after my dad. 2, buy my jeep I've all ways wanted. 3 do up the house put on some extra rooms and make the kitchen bigger. That my 3 things I would. Wit the money I won

I would pay off the mortgage, give my mother in law some money so she could pay off her mortgage and give her some financial stability, the rest I would save for when I needed something, like a new car or redecorating the house.

I've been asking myself this question since I was 19 years old It changes every few months but right now I would buy a small, wooden house in the mountains. Just to have a little place to escape. The rest I would probably give to my mum and to my mother in law. They gave their lives to others so at least I could treat them this way... So.. where is the nearest scratch card point?!

My first objective would be to use half of the funds (in this case £500,000) and invest it in such a way to generate at least £5000 a month. 

Refinancing investments is a preferred option, although sometimes there are deals with fantastic cash flow, which require cash deposits to be left in them for the long-term. I am happy to do this as long as there is a great return on the invested funds of at least 20%. 

Purchasing HMO (House in multiple occupation) type of property (which should generate £500-£700 net profits per month property) could give me an extra cash flow of  £2,500 to £4000 profit per month.  I don’t really need that extra cash flow so I would use this extra income to build up a bigger cash reserve for the future.

Talking about cash reserves, I would want to keep £150,000 in reserve for those occasional fantastic investment opportunities that come up which require a very quick cash purchase. If you are looking for them, the “deal of a decade” comes up about once a month.

The final £100,000 I would use as a long-term hedge against future potential high interest rates. My personal preference is to invest this money into physical silver and gold. Both of these precious metal commodities have dramatically increased in value over the last few years and some people believe they have reached the top of the market. However I have consulted with some of the best commodity experts in the world who really know what they are talking about, and I now believe that these commodities could significantly increase in value over the next 10 years.

To summarise: 50% of this money invested to generate sufficient cash flow. 20% invest into long-term projects to generate cash flow. 15% I would keep ready to use for rapid cash purchases. 5% to buy options. The remaining 10% to diversify into commodities as a long term hedge.
