Unusual...

Heyes

Okay lets say you win the lotto, yes most would buy houses, business, give money to family and friends, holidays etc and the likes..

but is there anything really unusual and unique in your opinion that you would do with some of the money ?

If I won the euromillions, Buy out the toll bridge. (and lower the fee to, lets say, €1.00) I'd make even more millions! Like 100,000 cars per week day isnt it?

Atrocity

I've talked in detail about this before, not sure if it was this forum.
If I won euromillions:
Me and a friend would take 2 million of the money and go down into the city. We'd hand out bundles of 20,000 to any hobo we saw, then invite ten hobos to play who wants to be a millionaire. 2 chairs would be setup in the middle of the street, after asking the ten hobos a question, the first to answer would join me for the game. I'd ask them questions, easy questions so they can win. They would have ask the audience and 50:50.. I'd make sure the hobo got the million. But before I gave him that I would offer him the chance to trade it all for what's in the box. A cardboard box with a question mark painted on it. There would be a chicken McNugget in that box, but the hobo wouldn't know.

Either way, he's a winner!

circa 800 million to buy out the toll bridge, hence the daily profitability...

PlayGirl

i would build a massive indoor go~kart track, buy some top quality go~karts and then build the worlds biggest and best amusements park!! and if there was any money left id go shopping!!

xzanti

Id open an adult shop... Huge gap in the Irish market if you ask me

BlueSpiral

Official buy out my school and rename it "Oompa Loompa land". It's already full of them.

I'd buy a huge piece of the Atlantic and then build a small island there, in the shape of a smiley face. I'd transport "Oompa Loompa land" there by helichopper and set the Orange things tests.

Squirrel

I'd buy some land, and set up a workshop where I could build my own cars

junkyard

I'd build up my classic car collection, build my own race car circuit, buy a helicopter, buy a Sunseeker motor boat, an island in the Caribbean and I'd set up an animal sanctuary especially for dogs. I'd be slow to give any money to registered charities tbh I think the waste a lot of money I'd sooner give it to more deserving causes.

DEmeant0r

I'd buy the rights to LOST and change the storyline to my liking

N90user

Id erm spend it! And put and put a atomic bomb in the UK and maybe India ( got i hate those people) NOt being racist most of them in India re crooks and i was brought up hating the briltish!

R0ot

Buy the company that made Space Above & Beyond and force them to make more of it. I mean ffs killing off most of the cast in episode 23 and killing the story. WTF!

tman

find out whether Jana Cova would be willing to do a straight sex scene if the price was right....

blu_sonic

Buy Shamrock Rovers, how cool would it be to own your own club

biko

I would use some money to make sure the Firefly series gets back on air. With me as mystery guest star

Wolf

Mr.T's Jewelry!

Sleepy

Give my family credit cards so they could buy whatever they liked to whatever monthly limit I wanted to set them.

Buy a collection of classic cars.

MorningStar

Full page ad in all papers saying that I now have the power to get revenge on all thoses who wronged me and I am coming for them unless they mend there ways. After that probably use some propeganda stories of how people had terrible things happen due to their meaness. Hopefully it would have the net effect of making people nicer to each other.

Pighead

Pighead would pay for Suede to reform(original line up) and play Dog Man Star in its entirety followed by a greatest hits set in my front room. every night for 6 weeks.

MorningStar

Not quite getting the concept of unusal are we. Basically you would give money to your family and buy nice stuff. Pretty much what is in the OP.

eljono

I'd love to buy up loads of adjoining land and fill it with trees

Sleepy

It was the method I would use to give money to my family that I thought was unusual rather than the act of giving them money tbh.

Though how about an interesting and unusual way of spending some of the money:

I'd offer MorningStar €1 million if he could spend a day posting on boards without getting in a row with someone

MorningStar

Believe it or not one of the georgian squares in Dublin was sold in plots a one wealthy person bought two plots and let one go wild as anture reserve in the city. Can't remember which square heard on the radio.

Maybe we could do a little business. Looks like you'll need something to burn in your smoke factory, I might have some trees that would suit
