What would you do if you won a million pounds? Not sure? Then allow us to lend a hand.
We've picked out 10 of the most extravagantly luxurious gadgets around which, if you were to buy them all, would set you back the best part of a cool million.
Some of the items on the list are hugely desirable, others you would only want if you'd spent some of your fortune on a surgically implanted taste bypass. We'll leave you to decide which is which.
Either way, if you win the lottery this weekend, you'll have a ready-made shopping list.
Gold MP3 player
This is the i.Beat organix Gold, a unique MP3 player created exclusively for Russian-Canadian billionaire Alex Shnaider. Dubbed "the most expensive MP3 player in the world", it has an 18 carat gold casing, studded with 63 diamonds.
However, it has only 2GB storage space, which doesn't seem much given the stellar price tag.
Cost: $20,000 (£13,250)
Diamond-studded TV
If you want to buy a gadget that just screams "BLING!" at anyone who enters your living room, there's only one choice.
The name of the Yalos Diamonds LCD television is a bit of a giveaway, its frame is studded with 160 of those sparklies. Diamonds not your bag? Yalos also does a version with 155 rubies.
Cost: $130,000 (£86,000)
Moon-dust watch
The Moon Rider watch might not look all that flash, but it has a secret. It's made from moon dust. Real, proper moon dust, from the actual Moon.
That goes into making the face of the watch, while the casing is created using metal from the Apollo XI and Soyuz spacecrafts. Just for good measure, the strap is made using fibres from old spacesuits. While prices start at 15,000 Swiss francs, a unique version will set you back 500,000 Swiss francs.
Its maker, Swiss jewellery firm Romain Jerome, is well known for creating unusual watches. It previously made a range of timepieces from metal recovered from the Titanic
Cost: 500,000 Swiss francs (£275,000)
Golden USB stick
Memory costs are dropping through the floor, which means any old Tom, Dick or Harry can wander around with 16GB of solid storage in their back pocket.
If you want your USB stick to stand out from the crowd, you're going to have to be a little more creative. That's where this tasteful little number comes in.
Its case is made of 14 carat gold and is studded with five polished diamonds. You can get a cheaper version without the gems, but when you're spending this kind of money on a memory stick why cut corners?
Cost: £2,950
Top-end speakers
With property prices collapsing around our ears, why not put your money in something more rewarding? This pair of Kharma Grand Exquisite speakers will cost about the same as a four-bedroom semi in Watford, but have the added bonus of making your music sound just peachy.
Cost: £266,500
Diamond-studded phone
Less of an iPhone more of a me!me!me!Phone, the Vertu Signature is the kind of mobile that would make footballers jealous of your wealth.
The gemstone encrusted phone is available in three different casings. Budget conscious shoppers will opt for the stainless steel model at €9,500 (£8,000), but those with a bit more cash to splash can go for the white gold version at €29,000 (£22,000).
Each has a "sea of sapphire" face that can only be cut or scratched with a diamond. So don't leave the phone in the same pocket as your golden USB stick.
Cost: €29,000 (£22,000)
Diamond-encrusted laptop
Ego laptops are exclusive pieces of kit - the standard Tulip model goes for $5,000 (£3,250).
But if you want to really stand out, you'll be after the Ego Diamond. It's decorated with white gold, and embossed with 470 diamonds (including those in the tulip motif on the outside of the case).
Cost: $350,000 (£232,000)
High-end turntable
There are plenty of music lovers who still consider vinyl to be the peak of sound reproduction. For those, the Continuum Caliburn turntable is the stuff of dreams.
It's a heavy item, with the record sitting on a judder-free platter that weighs 80 lbs. However, you won't have to move it yourself. The purchase price includes the Continuum installation team flying out to wherever you live in the world (they're based in Australia) to help you set up.
Cost: $90,000 (£60,000)
