    Quit my work and have my dream harp build. i'd buy a motor, 200 guinea pigs and a lovely house somewhere in the country side and be happy.

    We just did our syndicate at work... I've read the secret - I AM going to win! :) I would pay off my debts and drive off into the sunset throwing bills out the window as I drive to all the peasants out there...

    Sigh....

    Probably just continue doing what I'm doing now, I guess...

    Move to France. Buy Johnny Depp, live happily ever after. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭smileysurfer


    Id probably faint first!! :eek:

    Then.... quit my job, book a long holiday, buy myself a few houses, open my own luxury spa hotel, open my own record label, buy a couple of apartments around the place so whenever I decide to visit somewhere I have somewhere nice to stay, pick a number of worthy charities and show a few million their way, open a surf school, go on a shopping spree in New York and a few other shopping spots, think that will do my for the moment! (clearly I day dream about this a lot!! ) :p


    Oh and buy Robbert Pattinson of course! ;)

    Wait a week or two before slipping in alone to collect the cheque for starters so as not to draw attention and keep my privacy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    New house for my parents.
    New house for my sister.
    New house for my other sister.
    New house for my brother.
    New house for me.
    New car for everyone mentioned.
    Money in an account for my nephew for when he hits 18 (in 12 years, ha).
    BIG party for all my friends.
    BIG presents for my close friends (about 3 people, I'd say).

    And then I'd take a niiiiiiiiiiiiiice, long holiday. :)

    Buy a boat.
    Buy a small dock on a nice island in the azores somewhere.
    Buy a nice little house with a nice garden, a well stocked library and a satellite dish, just off the dock I've just bought in the Azores.
    Inform wife that she is moving to the Azores......

    I'd spend the rest of my life in university, studying everything I've ever wanted.

    A really nice library of books

    That's made me realise that I've never bought a lottery ticket in my life!

    Pay off parents and in-laws mortgages.
    Buy a nice house and get it professionally interior decorated.

    First thing I would do would be to hire a solicitor and accountant though, I did it today, but I think if I won I'd be so stressed out, especially after the treatment Galway's recent big Lotto winners.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I'd buy River Island and make up my very own rules! :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    I would like to make my parents and brothers millionaires (before I bail out of this country :D) but I think there are laws saying I can't do that? :confused:

    No law saying you can't- they would be liable for tax though- so it may take several millions- to net them 1 million........ Might be handier to think up some way of creatively giving them the money- than simply handing over cash.....

    I would prefer mainland Portual my dear! Would want to make sure that daddy was looked after so would hope that he would move into the grounds of our new house that would have a separate place for him and mum and get mum 24 hour care. Would hopefully have lots of kids...oh, and do lots of Masters in all the subjects I love by distance learning over time...get a great telescope and administer the Charity that I had stared which would give 10% to charity over time...hey, I can dream big...would also help a few of my close friends and cousins...I love my brother but he is his own man so I do not think that he would want anything but if he did I would help him.

    Oh, and see the whales off the Azores, oh and finally have my honeymoon in Italy.

    I think I would hate to win that amount money.

    But I like the buying Johnny Depp idea!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32 goldilocks77


    House in France, an apartment in New York... and a big cheque to the local SPCA to save more kitties!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 644 ✭✭✭Mackleton


    Well, finish college and go to Paris to do my masters, but do it in style, obviously.

    Then, once qualified, book a round the world trip and stay travelling for the rest of my life, but comfortably, staying maybe 6 months here, 6 months there, really experience the different cultures.

    I would buy a pied-a-terre in Paris and one in London
    Possibly a nice farmhouse in Provence with a horse out the back and never do a days work.

    Done!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 30,731 ✭✭✭✭princess-lala

    They were indiscreet, the Sun printed photos of them, their house and car. So basically to avoid a tiger kidnapping they had to go into hiding. It was quite horrible the way the Sun got the photo of the woman, scanned in from an old staff ID that some unscrupulous ex colleague sold to them. Still in hiding and haven't been able to come home. It's a shame, they're lovely folks.

    Keep 3 mill and give the rest to lightofmassai.org who do great work out in keyna. imagine the pride of knowing that you gave water and healthcare to hundreds of thousands in Keyna, who, but for you, would probably die.

    What would you do if you won the euromillions jackpot of 100m tonight?

    I think the question should be. What wouldn't your do! I think I would live off the interest and build houses for mellon foundation in South Africa.
