... AND HOW TO BLOW IT ALL!

IF TONIGHT’S jackpot was laid out end-toend in £50 notes it would be 357 miles long, stretching from John O’Groats all the way down to Leeds.

It could buy a house in each of the top ten most expensive streets in the UK, including in London’s Kensington Palace Gardens, where the average house price is nearly £30 million.

Those looking for something a little more exclusive would have more than enough to cover the £117million cost of buying Rangyai Island, the most expensive private island on the market.

Located off the coast of Phuket in Thailand, the 110-acre paradise has fresh water, an electricity generator and mobile phone reception.

It’s a mere 20-minute helicopter hop from Phuket International Airport, which the EuroMillions winner could fly to in a £46million Gulfstream G550 private jet, which can transport up to 19 people, nonstop for more than 12 hours.

If you prefer a fancy hotel, you could afford a lengthy stay in what is believed to be the world’s most expensive hotel room, the Empathy Suite Sky Villa in Las Vegas’ Palms Casino Resort.

Designed by the artist Damien Hirst, the suite includes two master bedrooms, massage tables, a salt relaxation room — lined with mineral-rich Himalayan salt — and a cantilevered Jacuzzi which looks over the famous Vegas strip. Cost? A mere $100,000 a night, or £72,900.

If you can stretch to that, you can also easily pay for a bottle of one of the year’s most expensive champagnes to drink in your suite, an 1820 Juglar Cuvee retailing at £31,711 — or buy many thousands of Krug Brut Vintage 1988 at £914 a bottle.

Sadly, the winner will have missed out on the chance to buy the world’s most expensive diamond, a purple-pink stone set in a platinum ring which sold in Hong Kong this year for £21.2 million.

For a little added perspective, the winner could buy 230million copies of the Daily Mail.
