    How long do you think i could live on McDonalds Euro Saver menu with my winnings?

    I like the idea of a chinese, i could buy a couple of scrawny ones and faten them up when they get here.

    Change it into 1600 1 cent coins. Go to O Connell street. Wait for a chugger with a bucket to jump on you, and then proceed to place the money in the chugger bucket. One.....cent......at......a......time...........You'll be doing a great service to all the other people you stop them jumping on.

    Use the money to buy more lotto tickets! It's the only logical thing to do when you're on a clear winning streak like this.

    Wait till next week and buy an Easter Egg. After Sunday, they're gonna be really cheap, and you'll be able to buy a really good one.

    I like that idea, though instead of giving it to a chugger, go into a shop and spend €16 exactly. Try to get it spot on. Then when it comes to paying count out the pennies .. "One .. Two .. three" -- losing count on purpose a few times.

    What a demented and dangerous idea. What is a coin hit the poor beast in the eye? Cruelty to useful animals is wrong.

    I say useful animals because its rather amusing to a chase duck billed platypus to hear them make that strange gurgling noise. Come one we have all done it at somestage.

    Thats very unfair, the platypus has many uses. (well, one anyway) Have those new Pringles ad's taught you nothing?

    And yes, we HAVE all done it at some stage, but I'm not proud of it. guuurgle.
