You've gotta be in it to win it

To say Nigel Page and Justine Laycocks' bank manager is happier this week than last would be an understatement: the couple scooped £56,008,113.20 in the EuroMillions jackpot lottery. And Mr Page thought his luck was in when he won £55.00 in the National Lottery the previous day.

So, apart from getting married (which the couple announced today), how might the money be spent? Here are twenty ideas:
