    Family and OH and 2 best friends and that's it I think.
    I think I would still work as you'd need to have a lot more than a few million to keep you for life.
    If it came out anyway, well, I could always try lying :pac:

    Think I'd keep it quiet till I finish my degree, then throw a big party, announce my winnings to everyone, and feck off for a few years.

    Irish lotto, you have the choice
    20,000 euro extra if you go public with the Irish lotto

    Afaik with the Euromillions they force you to go public

    Nowhere makes you publicly declare you've won anymore since this- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Thorne_kidnapping -happened.

    Really? :confused:
    Interest alone would keep one person reasonably content, I'd have thought...

    I would put my family on the ticket and spread it out. I could spend a million or two without it showing. No interest in cars, might add another bike, but nothing too obvious.

    Would keep it quiet, but would probably move out of the country.
