On 14 August 2010 the streets around Salisbury in Wiltshire will reverberate to the sound of more than one hundred supercars. These examples of automotive engineering will be making their way to Wilton House at the invitation of the Earl of Pembroke to attend the second Supercar Day arranged by Jay Broom (aka Jaykaybi) in aid of a local children’s charity.
The members of the public who will see the arrival of the cars and will then inspect them on the lawns of the house are bound to be fantasising about owning a similar vehicle themselves. No doubt they will be largely relying on a lottery win to do so. But what do lottery winners really spend their money on?
Nigel Page and Justine Laycock won a record £56 million on the European lottery recently. Their main purchase has been a four million house in the country and they have passed their previous four-bedroom house to their cleaner, Denise Kelso. They also bought her a new car to say thank you for her previous hard work. Mrs Kelso now also looks after the couples new home too.
A winner of £8 million in the British National Lottery was Jennifer Southall of Newport, Gwent. Her initial response was muted. “When I went to have my ticket checked, Camelot gave me a bottle of champagne to help me celebrate, but I just went home and ordered a pizza.” She is however thinking she will enjoy the experience.
The first thing Ms Southall did was to take her mother shopping: they spent £1500 in one day. She has already quit her job as a cinema supervisor and is about to buy a large luxury house with a swimming pool to replace her council house. Next on the list are driving lessons followed by the purchase of a “pretty red car,” paying off her daughter’s student loan, buying a second home abroad, and exotic holidays with the family. The experience has not changed her completely: “I still haven’t opened the champagne – I have never tasted real champagne in my life,” Ms Southall noted.
When Anthony Castro of Boise, Idaho won $250 000 on the state lottery, he was more restrained. This may have something to do with his background. Originally from New York, Mr Castro was shot in the head at the age of nineteen and left the city after the September 11 attacks. In Boise, he lived in a homeless shelter for a time before getting a job, getting married, having children and getting divorced. After winning the lottery he donated some of the money to his church, put a sum into a trust fund for his daughter and invested the remainder. He remarked, “After so much turmoil in my life, and loss of my mother a year ago, this is truly a blessing for me. My dreams, everyone’s dreams, are coming true.”
Most winners of the UK lottery draw tend to have at least one extravagance they want to satisfy despite the advice they now receive to be more sensible. The British National Lottery gives you the opportunity to think about what you would buy. If you can get to Wilton House on August 14, perhaps you can buy yourself an ice cream and allow yourself to dream. Who knows if your dream might come true?
