Would you retire if won a really big prize on the Euromillions?

I would. I'm 49 soon and I still would. Why? Because i believe one of the biggest things a win that would enable me to live comfortably without neither my wife nor I having to work, is time. We cannot beat the clock, but it would help feel like it had slowed time down a little. Those that say " you'd have to do some sort of job." My response is always "No, you'd have to get some sort of job. I'd be fine getting healthier and fitter." Seeing the sunshine, every time my kids are on their school hols. My small contribution would be to buy 10 or so houses. Kit all out with all necessary kitchen utensils, all the bedrooms fully furnished with secure doors and locks. Hire a management team to get some genuine homeless people off the streets, reassure them that provided they don't bring crime to the property (of any sort) they'll always have a same place to stay and hopefully get back on their feet. Oh and I'd return to street i currently live on, once a month for about 10 years and put an Asda card loaded with £500 through their letterbox. I know that wouldn't feed the households for more than 3 weeks or so a time, but I'd like to think it would help.
