    I would create a computer program that randomly generates a number every 10 seconds and then I'd pay someone minimum wage to enter these numbers in to some form of spread sheet for 8 hours a day and they would have to make pretty charts and things out of them and stuff. I would try and catch them making mistakes and then fire them with out warning and get someone new to replace them.

    I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered. George Best

    Buy a load of televisions and a shotgun. Every time someone appeared on the telly that annoyed me (Westlife, Ryan Tubridy, Jessica Lansbury etc), I'd shoot the screen out with my gun, and simply replace the TV with my stash of spare TV's.

    I'd also spend a large proportion of my winnings on champagne and cocaine.


    :D

    I would start a commercial venture farming pork pies - organic and free range.

    With the rest I would seek investment advice from Jack O'Connor and David Begg.

    If it was the Euro millions, I would create a life size replica of Mary Harney out of five cent coins.

    I think you should go international and set up a work camp or nightmare industrial complex in a non minimum wage zone. Their pay for their tenuously held jobs is based on Results. There would be outside teams digging and filling in trenches and one group digging to the earths core.
    Your number crunchers would face digging work if and when they make a mistake in the obscenely complex calculations you set them. Your application matches their answers against its automatically generated answers. Their efforts made more difficult because you have nothing better to do than go around all day putting them off
