Frank Mackin (69) from Strathaven said: ”I would give half of the money to my wife and then put the rest in the bank. I would save up and do something special with it, perhaps a trip to China or somewhere like that.”

John Taylor (75) from Hillhouse said: “I don’t think that amount of money would really make that much of a difference but I would probably use it to go on a holiday to Spain for two weeks.”

It’s just a small place where he lives, but there are so many great shops that I could happily spend time in.”

Paul Thomas Daily (16) from Hamilton said: “I would put all the money into buying shares in my local football team, Hamilton Accies, in the hope that they could use it to buy some decent players
