Study reveals big time lottery winners enjoy a caravan holiday just as much as everyone else
Could you imagine winning the big jackpot in the EuroMillions lottery? What would you even spend all that money on?
With the current jackpot at £72m it seems that the options on what to do with all that money are limitless. Now, in a research study on the purchasing habits of 3,000 National Lottery jackpot winners there were some interesting reveals.
The most surprising, well actually maybe not so surprising to us caravan owners, was the finding that winners have generated £7.4m of caravan sales in the UK alone.
Taking a holiday seemed to be popular amongst winners; even though they could afford to go away and stay in a five star hotel they much better preferred the quaintness of a caravan. It probably wasn’t your average caravan holiday, but our imagination can only lead us to picture how nice it must have been to have a holiday with possibly no budget restrictions in place.
Could you imagine the kind of holiday you could take with £72m in your back pocket?
Other popular destinations for winners’ holidays were America, Stateside, the Caribbean, the Canary Islands and Dubai. We’re not saying these destinations would have been ideal as far as taking the caravan along would be concerned, but with that much money at your disposal, anything is possible.
The study revealed other favourite ways to spend, which included: property (with the average around £900,000 on new homes), staff (with the winners employing cleaners and gardeners), and early retirement (with some no longer working or just taking up unpaid voluntary work).
On that note, it’s another rollover tomorrow, so we’re off to get a ticket. Let us know how you would spend the winnings if you won.
