Now, just imagine checking your EuroMillions numbers and realising you’ve won a £200M jackpot. You might not necessarily go around shouting about your new financial status, but there would definitely be signs…
We asked the LADbible audience for the subtle (and absolutely not subtle) ways you would drop the hint that you’d hit the big one. From the genius to the totally bizarre, here are some of the funniest things you say you’d do if you won.
A lifestyle glow-up
Winning a big chunk of cash is basically a free pass to do something a little bit outrageous. Like one follower who suggested painting their entire house gold. We’re not just talking a gold door handle or a nice trim, but a full-blown, 24-carat exterior. Someone else suggested replacing the entire living room with a giant ball pit, and another wants a waterslide that goes from their bedroom window directly into a heated pool. Because why the hell not?
Wake up in style
The sound of your morning alarm is enough to leave most of us feeling triggered. But if you had a EuroMillions win behind you, one follower suggested swapping that digital screech for a full, five-piece live band stationed at the foot of the bed to play you into the day. And, since nothing beats that hotel feeling, another reader would hire a professional bed-maker. Imagine diving into fresh, crisp, hospital-cornered sheets every single night without having to lift a finger. Dreamy.
The never-ending round
There’s no greater feeling than walking into your local pub and hearing the words "it’s all taken care of." One genius suggestion from the audience was putting a massive chunk of change behind the bar so that you (and maybe a few lucky regulars) never have to pay for a round again. It is the ultimate “I’ve made it” flex that supports your local too. Everyone’s a winner.
Next-level pet upgrades
If you’re winning, the dog’s winning too. You guys suggested a complete lifestyle overhaul for your four-legged mates, including hiring a gourmet chef just for them. Wagyu beef, sir? But don’t stop there. What about a personal doggy trainer and a live-in butler to handle the ball-throwing duties? Your pet wouldn't just be a good boy; they’d be the most pampered pooch in the postcode.
Food flexes
Nothing screams EuroMillions win quite like… kebabs. Okay but seriously, the 2am kebab craving is a universal human experience, right? One reader suggested taking it to the next level by installing an industrial-grade kebab rotisserie right in their kitchen, complete with a professional ‘bossman’ on standby to shave off a fresh wrap whenever the craving hits. Honestly, it’s a genius move and we’re here for it.
What would you spend it on?
So, if you won a life-changing amount of money, what would your signs be? Whether it is a gold encrusted house or a lifetime supply of kebabs, it all starts with the dream.
That dream could be closer than you think - it could be you!
