Hypothesis or conditional


If I had the money, I would buy a new car.

The above is a conditional sentence.

If I won 20 million dollars, I would buy an airplane.

The above is a hypothetical statement, as far as I understand.

However, it borders a conditional sentence too.

Is it a conditional sentence or hypothetical sentence?

It seems you forgot the question mark at the end.

Had I won 20 million dollars 10 years ago, I would have bought an airplane.

I think it should be the following:

Had I won 20 million dollars 10 years ago, I would have bought an airplane?

No, that's for when you have a question in the 2nd part:

Had I won 20 million dollars 10 years ago, would I have bought an airplane?
