Shoe fanatics could buy 27,500 pairs of designer stiletto’s such as Christian Louboutin or Jimmy Choo, with each pair priced at £200.
For those with a sweet tooth, you could shell out all your winnings on 11,000,000 Mars bars priced at 50p each – certainly a lifetime supply!
Instead of splashing out on a super car you could purchase England’s most popular car the Ford Fiesta – in fact you could buy 550 of them from £10,000 each.

With its luxury Italian kitchen, top-of-the range flat screen television and iPhone controlled heating system, it’s not your average caravan.
But then, at £550,000, it doesn’t come with the average caravan price tag either.
Die-hard bargain hunters could buy 5,500,000 different items from Poundland.
