Nice one, fella!! I reckon that's Karma for helping out your mum!

Clear debts
Holiday
Posh meal for family
Stick 5k in an ISA
Buy a little something REALLY frivalous you've always wanted but couldn't justify
Buy all your mates a beer
Give £50 to your favourite charity

And keep grinning!

Thanks for the nice messages, made a very good day even better.

Thanks all. Absolutely chuffed now it's sunk in. The debt incidentally was due to life changing surgery overseas for my mum so wasn't being frivolous or careless with money.

After paying it off I'm going to treat the wife and I to a holiday. Haven't had one in 3 years. Ticket has to be verified and then you are sent a cheque for 20 thousand pounds.

Awesome. Karma works sometimes.

don't tell the wife you've won £20k.
tell her you've won £12k or something. Pay off the debts, buy her something nice, go on holiday, whatever.
Keepy a stash for a 'rainy day'*

*new bike

I won in 98. 87 quid. Bought everyone drinks to celebrate!!!

Enjoy it OP.

I would stick the lot in the bank and pay off your debts steadily. The nest egg will help you relax, transform your stress levels proportionally more than blowing it etc. 🙂

Good for you. My advice is that you do whatever the heck you want with it. I really like it when good stuff happens to people. 🙂

Congrats to the OP - good to know some winning scratchcards actually exist with the amount I buy 😳

Be wise with it, especially in these hard times, a guy I know won one million a while ago, moved to a new house and blew the rest.

Ive heard hes just got done for benefit fraud !!!

Nice one. I have only won a few things in the past. The most memorable a colour tv.

My mate (you know who you are!) was trying to sell me raffle tickets and I was never going to buy one as I never win anything. So a few days later he asks for a loan of £1 or possibly £2,can't remember back to 1990-ish. I give it to him and he starts grinning like a cheshire cat.. telling me that it was for a raffle ticket. Wasn't too impressed at the time (yeah,a £1!) but to win the tv after all that happening was priceless.

Last thing I won was a six pack of toblerone! I love toblerone. Good look mate, nothing better than being able to clear a bit of debt. Takes the pressure off for a bit.
