    Alas, not me. But its good to see the National Lottery has an advice booklet on what to do if you win.

    I didn't see any numbers in there for coke & hookers though...

    I hope its someone vaguely related to a Limerick crime family, just for the laugh.

    Or a banker, the duetchsland uber alles guy winning it would cause a hilarious meltdown.

    Or Bryan Dobson

    Hope someone deserving won, like some poor OAPs or sick people without insurance.

    Realistically, what would OAPs do with €94 million?

    I'd love to see a young enough family winning it, someone who struggle to work, pay bills, taxes, creches etc. and could be guaranteed a nice future with it.

    The oldies would be sharing it out i'm sure. A lot of older parents are currently supporting their adult kids who are in difficulty - with finance and accommodation and college fees, bills etc so I wouldn't care what age a person was who won it. :D

    Dont check your ticket! switch your phone off+dont check the internet, that way you wont find out where it was done, just dream about spending all your money all night, then check it in the morning, its the most your gona get out of it!!

    I think for family it's around €30,000. For anyone else €3,000.

    Although I'm not sure but it may be possible to claim it was a syndicate and give people certain amounts based on that

    It's not a whole lot. Think about 300k for close family. Changes then for other family members. Could be totally wrong but that's what it was a few years ago when i was in college.

    You would generally pretend that you bought the ticket on behalf of your friends and family in whatever percentage you want to share it out.

    My big lotto winners do not immediately come forward as they take tax planning advice first.

    I'd be hugely surprised if any significant CAT was paid out of Lotto winnings.

    Get them to sign the back with a % beside the signature, would be tax free that way.

    None.

    Heard about putting all the names of people that you want to gift money to on the back of the winning ticket to avoid tax, but I'm not sure if that's still legal now.

    You can expect millions of pissed of family members either way.
    But then again you can buy some new friends and family to replace them.

    Even worse (better?). So the winner thought they got €188m, but end up only getting 94. Granted, 94 is a lot, but how sicked would you be to believe that you're worth €188 million, only to find out that it's half that.
    I think I could live with it

    My boyfriend does the Lotto and Euromillions every week, without fail, even if we're down to our last few cent, he'll raid the savings box to buy a ticket.
    He did the Euromillions tonight but he's in bed now and hasn't checked his ticket...................................................
    ...................................and I don't know how to check Lotto tickets :o:o:o

    PS: If he's gone in the morning and his passport's not in the wardrobe, then I'll know he's won and fecked off to the Maldives with some plastic boobed bimbo with a waist like a Coke bottle............HAHA who am I kidding, nobody would put up with him, €94 million or no €94 million.

    "Well, I've always wanted to have a holiday in Kinsale. We'll be able to travel in style too after the win. Denis my husband will be able to buy that 2001 Mercedes he always had is eye on down at Walshes garage....."

    Did anyone else input the winning numbers into the "check numbers" bit on lotto.ie just to hear the fireworks and see the "your winnings" section? Y'know, just to pretend for a few seconds?

    Btw this could also work as a good trick if somebody asks you to check their ticket numbers for them. hehe:P
