    So heres how I'll divvy up my 170 million after I win it tomorrow night.....
    Parents: 5,000,000

    Wifes Parents: 5,000,000

    Mate who I'm in a syndicate with for the ordinary lotto but not Euromillions: 5,000,000.

    Siblings (8 of em!): 3,000,000 each x 8 = 24,000,000

    Wifes Siblings (only 3!) : 3,000,000 x 3 = 9,000,000

    Mates who I've promised a digout if I win: 3,000,000 x 7 = 21,000,000

    Local soccer club (long story): 3,000,000

    Total Giveaway: 72,000,000.

    Balance Remaining: 98,000,000
    Pocket Money: 8,000,000, (Cars, Houses, Piss ups etc)

    Invest the remaining 90,000,000 in govt savings scheme at 3% pa.
    Less P.R.S.I. @ 4% and D.I.R.T. @30% on the earnings
    Total Net earnings would be 1,782,000 per annum
    Net per month earnings: 148,500. (with the 90,000,000 still in the bank!)

    What would ye do with 170,000,000 ?

    I would set up a foundation to help with homelessness and giving children from deprived areas a chance of university education.
    These are close to my heart as I have experienced both.

    Loads of people keep saying that they wouldnt tell anyone. Its a condition of Euromillions that you go public so that idea is off the cards!

    There was going to be 3,000,000 to the local soccer club which is a charity, and naturally when I'd be making 148,500 a month I'd be donating plenty to other charities aswell. They'd be carefully selected though I can tell you. A lot of charities are paying people hundreds of thousands to work for them and when asked for the salaries of their chief executives say eff off. So, I'd be picky about who I'd donate to.

    Its all the one now, some cnut in france won it :( ah well theres always next time I suppose.

    Thats false.

    Euromillions and the National Lottery can be claimed anonymously.

    All cash prizes won in National Lottery games are paid out as tax-free lump sums. All prizes in Monday Million, Lotto, All or Nothing, and EuroMillions games must be claimed within 90 days of the applicable drawing dates.

    Completely agree. You'd literally be plagued by everyone and their mother who thinks they know you. And by complete strangers aswell!

    I'd go as far as a gagging order on any family members who you've given money to also.

    The woman from Limerick who won big and announced it publicly had numerous planned kidnappings on her family.

    You'd also leave yourself open to all sorts of claims by ex-girlfriends and former friends who want a little piece of the action. They could threaten to go to the papers and say "He liked me to wear a fur coat and make bear noises while we made love in the woods." Or "he used to cheat in maths tests at school".

    Pretty sickened to discover that I didn't win the Euromillions last night. Instead, some French w@nker woke up €170million richer this morning. First they cheat their way to the World Cup and now this. Would the French just leave me alone and stop ruining my buzz every now and again.

    I heard this on the telly before as a quote...

    'The only thing more powerful than death is the hope, the hope that you might survive to live another day'.

    Same thing, we buy into the not in you can't win. There will be plenty more 170 millions in the Euromillions and we have the hope that we might win just one of them.
