I was always of the thought to buy homes or holiday but I've decided to go the yacht route now so I don't get bored of the view π Look up the fuel consumption. You may be shocked. The problem with boats of this size in the Med is mooring them. Most of the nice places other than the poser French Riviera and Sardinia canβt take boats of that size. You need to anchor off, and it can at times get roly. You would get far more enjoyment out of a 45/50 footer and sail it yourself. βοΈπ I thought 40mtrs was ok for most ports nowadays if not then I'd have to go to the Caribbean or SE Asia its all down to my skipper Ray thats why he/she is paid the big bucks π

Big ticket purchase like a boat is a bit pointless, you'd be better off just chartering one whenver you want, all over the world, fly there, cruise about a month or 2, fly home, pick next destination. Wouldnt really want to spend weeks at sea sailing to somewhere hot... But a charter for 2 months could cost about 2million on a top yacht might aswell buy your own and charter it out when your on land π

One single ticket the winner of it all. Ticket sold in Michigan. Would think after recent events you could buy Michigan for a billion dollars. Its been won? Holy shit thats incredible don't the US lotteries offer you a deal though where its spread over a few years or a taxed lump sum. Sweden are said to have to highest taxes in the world!! But one thing we no longer have any taxes on at all is wealth. And the other only tax free thing is the lotteries. No taxes on them whatsoever. Strange country. π

Id buy a vw van and go around the country to find somewhere to live. Once i find a big plot of land i would built a home, nothing ridiculously sized but have all the creature comforts. Would also build some stables and rescue animals. I would also have half dozen cavvie spaniels. Lastly i would build a railway line around the plot so i can have a miniature railway to take in the views.

I'd develop an incredible cocaine addiction and be found dead on the floor of a pub toilet after three months.

If I won it I would pay to fill in the remaining two corners at the 365 so that I donβt have to sit in that bloody freezing wind. π§π£π₯ΆβοΈ
