The couple, who have a 15-year-old daughter, are set to splash the cash with a Harley trike topping Jon's shopping list, while a hot tub is Lucy's No1 priority.
They also aim to buy a new family home in the area and create a music room in the house.
Jon said: "This will be the perfect place to display the family's guitar collection - and potentially add to it too.
"As a family, we love rock music and now the world really is our oyster - we hope to get the chance to attend gigs up and down the country.

"This win will just enable us all to slow down, enjoy life - and of course hit that road on the sunny days ahead on our new trike."
They do not have passports but are now looking forward to whichever holidays take their fancy.
Reacting to his huge win in the Lotto draw on May 31 Jon said: 'I keep thinking I am going to wake up from a dream.
Jon, who also hopes to go on a Lions rugby trip, added: 'It won't change us but it will change what we can do.'

The American musician, wearing a dark blue suit, walked towards the entrance of Southwark Crown Court in silence past a large group of photographers. The 36-year-old, accused of causing grievous bodily harm to Abraham Diaw in February 2023, will appear alongside a co-defendant, US national Omololu Akinlolu, 38, for a plea and trial preparation hearing. The singer walked past a large group of photographers (Jonathan Brady/PA) The Go Crazy singer, who was able to continue his international tour after he was freed on conditional bail last month, performed in Cardiff on Thursday night. He had to pay a £5 million security fee to the court as part of the bail agreement, which is a financial guarantee to ensure a defendant returns to court and may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions. Brown and Akinlolu have been charged over an incident at the Tape venue in Hanover Square, Mayfair, on February 19 2023. Manchester Magistrates' Court heard last month that Mr Diaw was standing at the bar of the nightclub when he was struck several times with a bottle, and was then pursued to a separate area of the venue where he was punched and kicked repeatedly. Brown was arrested at Manchester's Lowry Hotel at 2am on May 15 this year by detectives from the Metropolitan Police. He is said to have flown into Manchester Airport on a private jet in preparation for the UK tour dates. He was released from HMP Forest Bank in Salford, Greater Manchester, on May 21. Shortly after being released from prison, the musician posted an Instagram story referencing his upcoming tour. It said: 'FROM THE CAGE TO THE STAGE!!! BREEZYBOWL.'
