My brother won something around £100k on the lottery a few years ago, and it was totally life-changing for him. He paid off a good lump of mortgage and bought a nice car, but that wasn't the life changing stuff (both of them went when he split up with his partner). What changed things was being able to take time off work and go to university to get a qualification in social work. He now spends his time working with young people who suffer from multiple deprivation and substance abuse issues. In a lot of ways, he's my hero.
(Going to university also meant meeting a new partner, and having beautiful twin daughters with her, so I guess you could include that in the life-changing stakes)
