What's the first thing ya should do? Write yer name on it or what? What do ya do after that?

-Edit- This really shouldn't be in AH, d'oh!

Give me your address and I can call round with a few friends and they will tell you what to do with it

IRockUrSocks

You send it to me for further investigation. Then I will return it so you can write your name on it.

ScumLord

Pee on it, there's no faking pee.

CrazyRabbit

Cash it, then buy everyone on the AH forum a pint.

prob scream for an hour, then get drunk, then plan the holiday of a lifetime and think about what to do with the rest of it while there.

I'm not asking "What would YOU do if you won the Lotto", I asked "If you had a winning Lotto ticket, what's the procedure"

When you say winning ?are you talking about Jackpot winning or 3 numbers and the bonus winning?

Write your name on it, go and collect winnings and then give me half of your winnings

Winning ticket? I'd buy a big bag of coffee, sit, wait and not take my eyes off the ticket until Monday morning when I can claim the b*stard! I wouldn't believe it until then!

Not that I've ever done the lottery! :rolleyes:

How much did ye win?

Well having nearly won the lottery, getting five instead of six. I have an idea of what to do. Win the big one or any big one and ring the national lottery and tell them. I look forward to the day when that happens. It could be tonight as I haven't checked mine yet.

When I won €1558 on a match five, I wasn't sure and asked at the local PO. Most of them and shops will only pay up to about €200 or so. They said go to the nearest GPO. That I did and they handed me a bunch of fifties. They told me they pay out up the €15 grand, anything above that and a trip to Dublin is in order. I fancy renting a helicopter for that particular trip.:cool:

50% of his winnings to the admin who will give me the OP's IP address so I can find him before he figures out how to claim it

Photocopy the winning ticket and keep the original at hand every single minute of the day and night until you collect the winnings.

Thanks for the info

You sign the ticket, go to post office or lotto hq depending on the amount won.
You'll need photo id, go to claims department at lotto hq and they'll guide you through the rest.
You are given a cheque as the payment.

Yes but it's probably one of those impractical large cardboard cheques.

So you did win then?

And you're not out soliciting hookers even six hours later?

I call shenanigans

EGriff

Well Mr. John Cleary I'm pretty sure you live next door to me so the first thing you should do is lock all your windows and doors.

Atavan-Halen

He probably won 2 euro. Still though, I'm sure you could get some almost female hookers for that.

Well, lets hope it doesn't snow too hard, or you'll have no way of getting from Galway to Dublin.

And hope the photocopier doesnt have a fail moment and burn your ticket to nothing.
