Anyone buying a ticket of the Euromillions draw? £125 million on offer!

If so, what would you do with the money?

I'd give most of it away. What the hell could you do with any more than 2 or 3 million?

You could expect the SSP have lots more staff and facilities, Netherthird to have a new youth centre, Cumnock to have an astroturf pitch and a theatre. I'd give a few quid to Interpal, MSF and Action Aid instead of the measly couple of quid a month I mormally give. I'd spend on providing cheap rented accommodation in Scotland, support for students.

And,of course, I would indulge myself and spend less time in Cumnock and more in NY and Barcelona.

I'm with you Rinty. I'd buy a pad in NY, Dublin and Copenhagen as these are my 3 favourite cities in the world. I'd leave £5million in my account and give the rest away.

Kilmarnock Football Club would be bought (for a £1!) and have their debts paid off and the club would be given to the Trust to be community owned and run to the benefit of the people in North and East Ayrshire.

I would also give some money to the Independence Convention in order to advance the cause. I'd set up a Trust to promote youth enterprise by giving out grants and soft loans to young Scottish entrepeneurs.
