Personally, if I had such a slice of dosh fall in my lap, I would (after paying off my debts, having one hell of a party and getting started on that orbital death ray) give back to society by investing the money in my business so I could make many times over that £113 million in profit, employ loads of people, and provide the general public with goods and services that would enrich their lives–at least, until the orbital death ray is up and running.
But that seems a bit too capitalistic for Auntie.

I want an orbital death ray, and sharks with frickin' laser beams in their heads to protect my island base/launch site.
After all, the sharks are smarter than the average minion with a submachine gun, as anyone who has ever seen a 007 movie already knows.

Definitely the island base. I'll take a piranha tank in mine, with a trap door in the floor over it. And lots of minions in overalls and face-concealing helmets. Or maybe they'll be robots. And a couple'a bikini babe-type minions. I think I'll go with the giant squids for perimeter defense rather than the sharks---more arms. And in some prominent place, a large, red, candy-like self destruct button.
Just rattling things off off-hand, I've already come up with better uses for the loot than the Beeb.
The biggest obstacle I have to winning a vast sum in the lottery is that I won't buy a ticket.
But in the theoretical world, I'd do much of what has been suggested; pay off everything, flying zap guns, etc.
But the main thing I would be is very hard to find.
My goal would be to have people remember me with; "Hey, you remember the fellow that.." "No"
Sergej-
All my actual minions would be curvaceous ladies in form-fitting outfits. They can operate all the machinery, they are probably better shots (they mostly don't have preconceived notions on the subject), and their voices cut through background noise better than guys' voices do. As a bonus, in space ops they can take higher Gs, use less life support, require less propellant as payload due to lower mass, and don't get spacesick as easily.
And oh yes, I'm a heterosexual male, too.
