Lottery Win

For the first time in my life, I bought a lottery ticket today. Statistically, playing the lottery is about the worst thing you can do with your money. The expected win is always going to be much lower than your investment. But I guess that's not how people see it, and the human mind tends to be bad at (directly) dealing with probabilities anyways.

My lucky numbers are 08 15 34 35 42 - 02 03, and 04 27 33 36 37 - 07 08. The jackpot is around 85 Million Sterling.

What would you do with 120 Million Euros? I guess I would buy one of these for us and then get back to work (for some time).
