What are some of the things you would do if you won the lottery?
Would you make big extravagant purchases? Would you buy a big house?
Lets say the amount is £100,000,000

Finish paying off parent’s mortgage; buy a house abroad for parent (doesn’t need to be big). Pay off loans.
Then save the money.

I would definitely do some big renovations on my house, probably wouldn't move so the money would go further, and perhaps pay off the mortgage as well. Go on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday and then invest the remainder

I dont think you would be alive to finish your 1 million beers 😆
£100,000,000 is really unrealistic for the lotto. You're talking around £4,000,000 for the lotto, or £14,000,000 for the Euromillions.
So I'm gonna base it on £14m just to make it more realistic, because your scenario isn't possible.
1) Spend £1m in total, buying my 4 kids a house each
2) Give my parents £500k each, so that's £1m.
3) Buy a place on the outskirts of Paris. Realistically we're talking at least £1m there too.
4) Upgrade the house we've currently got. Let's say about £300k towards that.
5) Give each of my kids £100k in the bank. So that's another £400k
I'm now down to roughly £10m, give or take, what with factoring in solicitors fees and stuff. That I would invest and live off the interest for the rest of my life. Then I'd put it in my will and leave it to my kids after I die.

400,000 for new home, 100,000 for new car, 200,000 for travelling and family. For the remaining money, 20 percent of the remaining money to scholarships for students to complete their degrees, 30 percent to charity organisations, 30 percent as a loan program for individuals to start their business, and 20 percent to make free facilities in the community such as sports grounds etc.

Wow okay I stand corrected.
In that case I'd buy the moon.
In all seriousness my plan would be very similar to what I'd do with £14m, except maybe allocate more to each point that I made.
Ultimately the bulk would get invested and I'd use the interest to a) live off, and b) do good deeds with, like finding people who are dying and desperately in need of money so they can go and get treatment in the states, and funding them so they can do that. Stuff like that.

Donate some, invest some in businesses, and travel, a lot of travel...
Maybe I will open a privet practice and hire some staff. However, I'm sure I would spend a lot of time traveling. My dream is to travel.
