1 billion and 5 pounds stirling. How about Tree Fiddy? do I look like a 50 foot tall green lizard from the jurassic era of Scotland? I may be half scottish, photographed on rare occasions, have a blood feud with bigfoot (he said some mean things about me on his last visit.), a terrible swimmer and keep annoying a select family for shits and giggles.... but I'm not a Burnley Football club fan. what was the question again?

“Hey Capcom, here’s $100 million US to get started plus a bonus for extra features. Darkstalkers 4 please. Thanks.” Two chicks at the same time, man. Two bad bitches at the same damn time? At the same damn time.

The first thing I would do is wipe out my mortgage. Like others, I would travel somewhere. I’m not sure where, but that would definitely be at the top of my list.
Other than that, I would just put the winnings in my savings and investing accounts. I’m content with what I have, which makes me a tough person to buy for on birthdays and holidays. So I may as well put the money where it can make more money.

Buy a new house in my home town, buy a couple condos. Probably Florida and Toronto, buy a new truck, and go on the greatest world golfing tour ever. And probably be one of those dudes who follows AEW around and goes to most of the shows
EDIT: If I had a billion dollars I could play Augusta National, which is a completely unattainable goal as it stands

To elaborate on my earlier post.
First pay off my house where I am now. I would then let my brother in law live here to take care of it and we would use it when visiting.
Buy a house where we want to live for the foreseeable future. Replace our vehicles as well. Nothing fancy at all, dont need a hassle at this point.
Figure out how much we need for regular upkeep of our properties and lives. Place enough money in an account solely to generate interest for this. This money will also be our kids trust fund for after we go.
The rest of the money is split between an emergency fund (so we dont become broke lottery losers), a fun and travel fund, and a charity fund (the earlier mentioned womens travel).

What is the first extravagant thing you'd do. Yes I know put it away, pay bills and make sure family and friends are helped and a party but what is the first selfish and fun thing you'd do even if its smaller then most. Me? After the party I am going on a year long world tour. Seeing places I don't want to cause of cost of travel and time like Australia and Japan. Also I want to buy a copy of Captain America's first comic appearance. One goto Alaska so I have been to all 50 states. Then book a huge indie wrestling show near by.Main event is Hardcore Holly vs Funaki vs Steve Blackman in an iron man steel cage match.

Take care of financial obligations, connect with smart people to help manage my money and facilitate a move out of state a few years early.
Still work but be able to spend time with my family and have a little fun

If they win by climbing out, do they then have to climb back in if there's time left on the clock?

There's a few things. On the personal side, I'd pay off what's left of my mom's mortgage. I just bought a place that I'm moving into in a month so I'd probably pay that off and furnish it. Then maybe leave my job and have visitors for a while (paying for their travel). Then maybe travel myself. A big portion of the money would likely go to helping others because there's no way I need even a quarter of a billion. Maybe give everyone I know 5 grand just because. Oh maybe I'd see if I could buy a cameo on a Marvel film. That might be fun.

Also might since we will have a cage do Pro Wrestling EGO's owner's idea. For a Royal RUmble in a cage. Where you gotta throw people over the top of the cage to eliminate them. Same dude had a tables chairs and sippie cups match.

I will book a match at the next available WWE PPV. Chris Rock challenging Will Smith and calling it “Rock Gets Revenge”. Huge hype. On match night, Will Smith comes out first (to resounding boos). Chris Rock walks down to ringside, waves his finger to say ‘no’, and gestures to the back. Dwayne Johnson comes running down to the ring and beats down Will Smith to the cheers of the fans.
I bet they would do it if I paid them ten million dollars apiece.

Copy Warren Buffet's portfolio - i.e. invest all of it in companies he has and live off dividends.
$50 million a year income for the rest of my life that can be spent helping people in need, living a rich life for myself and my family.
Well, I can dream can't I

Probably put back a good few million to comfortably live on for the rest of my life while being able to afford any random thing I'd want, without any huge purchases first since I already have a house I'm perfectly content with, and donate the rest of it.

As for sensible things, a nice house for myself and my Mom and Dad, and since they are not in the best of health, give them great care. And thankfully my father is also an accountant so he would be the one to help me figure out a smart way to invest in something. Pay off debts i or my immediate family might have.
Of course my big extravagance would to be to build an a massive entertainment library and restart a retro video game collection and start a record collection. I don’t know if I would care too much about rare stuff, but with an almost unlimited bankroll, that could lead to becoming addicted to stuff like that. But that would be pretty fun to me anyway.
Plus a big pool in the backyard. That would be like my big childish expense is to have an elaborate pool set up.
But other than that, I don’t see anything that I would need to go overboard with.

I'd buy a PS5 and not fly cheap when I take wrestling trips. I'm a simple man, lol.

I would spend all my money finding everyone on the planet who doesn't think Die Hard is a Christmas movie and making sure they are never heard from again.
