Enjoy the Perfect Christmas Thanks to EuroMillions

Updated: Monday 23rd July 2018

There are just four weeks to go until Christmas, and the start of the traditional countdown will begin later this week, when the first Advent Calendar windows will be opened. Television commercials have already started selling us on the idea of having ‘the perfect Christmas’, but with EuroMillions this Tuesday 28 November offering a jackpot of around £71 million, that idea is one which really could be achieved by anyone lucky enough to match all seven of their numbers.

For many people, Christmas this year will mean business as usual as far as the festivities go, with a turkey dinner, the Queen’s speech and probable overindulgence all on the schedule. For anyone who manages to land the EuroMillions jackpot this Tuesday, however, the holidays could be far more interesting, so let’s look at just a few of the ways in which a £71 million fortune might enhance your celebrations…

Get Yourself a Winter Tan…

First, you wouldn’t have to put up with the traditional British Christmas weather for a day longer than you wanted to. Instead, you could use some of your winnings to take yourself – as well as your family and friends, if you fancied the idea – to sunnier climes. How would you like to spend Christmas in Australia. for example? The average temperature in December is around 26°, so you could get yourself a nice winter tan and, if you’re a cricket fan, treat yourself to VIP tickets for the Ashes.

… Or Guarantee Yourself a White Christmas

Maybe you would prefer a seriously white Christmas instead of grey slush, and spend a few weeks in Lapland? You could stay in a snow hotel, or perhaps a glass igloo, which would allow you to enjoy the sight of the Aurora Borealis from the warm and cosy comfort of your bed. Mix in a few sleigh rides, as well as some ice fishing and a snowmobile safari, and you’d see enough of the white stuff to last you a lifetime.

Splash Out on Gifts

Even if you choose to spend the festive season itself right here in the UK, having an extra £71 million in the bank would allow you to splash out in style. Why not do some pre-Christmas shopping – as well as plenty of fine dining and sight-seeing – in New York, Paris or Rome? You could then return home, order Harrods Hampers and Apple devices to be sent to anyone you forget to buy for, and either book Christmas lunch at a five-star restaurant or hire a chef to come and cook for you in your own kitchen.

End the Year with a Bang

When you have enjoyed your luxury Christmas, you could end the year with a bang by treating yourself to a seriously memorable New Year’s Eve. Why not go to Times Square in New York and watch the ball drop, as well as the subsequent firework display? Or, for those of you who would prefer to stay closer to home, head to Edinburgh in Scotland for the traditional Hogmanay celebrations? With £71 million to your name, it would be almost rude not to greet 2018 in style.

Act Today for Your Chance to Win Big!

All of the above ideas cost money, and quite a lot of it, but it would all amount to a relatively tiny sum for anyone who is lucky enough to win the £71 million which is up for grabs in the EuroMillions game this Tuesday. Choose your numbers today to give yourself the chance to make your festive dreams come true, and you just might be planning the perfect Christmas before the first Advent calendar window has been opened. Enjoy the game, and good luck!
