Little unlikely for me since I've never bought a ticket in my entire life, but if I won 10 mill, I'd...

Buy a large house (there's one literally around the corner from mine which would be perfect) and have all my posse move in. I'd charge them a tiny bit of rent (cheaper than anywhere else they could go) just for their food and to help pay the bills (hey, I ain't running a charity here)

I'd have the house rigged to solar panels and stuff (I'm very concerned about the environment) and use solar to charge an electric car I'd buy

Then I'd take us all to America for two weeks

Oh, and buy a few top of the range PCs for me and my posse to play each other on, as well as a PS2, Cube, X-Box etc

Then after that initial splash, I'd stick the majority of the rest in the bank (keep some cash incase of a crash in the market or summat)

I'd sort out my family for life, and live a full and rich life, living off the interest and investing my money carefully

How about you lot?

I might use it to start developing a Quantum Leap accelerator that I could then, at a later date, leap into and vanish.......

I'd buy a couple of judges, the Serious Crimes Squad and my own island.
With monkey henchman.

And topless models to sate my every desire.
And a really big laser to point from my mountain hideout and threaten lesser people than I.

I'd buy a novelty pool table that makes gulping sounds when you pot a ball and burps when you sink the black.

Hmmm.... I'd probably get a lot of change from my £10 000 000 note. I guess I'd bank that, then go travelling. I'd be like the littlest hobo, going from place to place around the world helping people with their lives in small ways - never letting anyone know my name and never resorting to just handing out cash to help people out. Money is rubbish and people need to be kept away from it.

Chuck £4M in a bank to live off the interest. Another £1M in a swiss bank. (All rich people seem to do it :))

Buy a house for about £1M. Buy about 5 nice cars. Think one for every day of the week. Dont wont anything too flash. Maybe a Audi TT for Monday. Vauxhall VX 220 for Tuesday. Porsche Carrera for Wednesday. BMW somthin or an other for Thursday. Somesort of huge 4X4 for Thursday. I'll think of one for Friday when I get there...

If anything left just invest it in the stock market. Give a little to charity as well...

If there is anything left after that I will just invest the rest

Easy - A flat in Tokyo, a house near Silverstone, 4 cars (Mitsubishi Lancer Evoution VII GSR, TVR Speed 6, Corvette C5R and a Mitsubishi 3000GT), a server box with a GeForce 4 Ti4600 and a 100ghz chip that has recently been announced (for games, naturaally) and a T1 pipe. Then, I'd live off the interest from the rest!

Pay a scientist 5 mil to develop REALLY potent strain of ganja that is good not bad for you and that increases memory capacity, cures cancer, makes you bright and intelliget, makes you stoned AND is easy to grow/care for.

Also i get amazing pc, get a better car ( my nissan micra is a bit clapped out!) ,house.

Plus I play the guitar, so, I would get a PRS dragon 3 (someone here is bound to know how DAMN nice those guitars are) and a mesa stack.

Trick is not to go mad, keep 4 mil and you will never have to work again.
You could live of the intrest alone nicely.
