    I'd build a house, travel the world and live comfortably for the rest of my life. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    Depends on the size of the win.

    There is a large difference in 6 mil and 60 mil


    Eitherway there would be bo coke and hookers.

    I would invest, and as the second poster said -property would be the biggest area of investment

    I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

    Ring 24 hour banking to ask for my balance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭Gaudizeit


    Quit my job, leave the country, and enjoy life until it runs out. Come back, get another job I hate and wait patiently for the cycle to start again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,006 ✭✭✭MistyCheese


    Be very surprised as I don't do the Lotto.

    what would i do beside two chicks at the same time?..

    I would relax, and sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    I would buy a pub, set up a little brewery in it and have my own brewpub. Assuming I won enough to not have to care about making a profit, It would be my own hobby and if I could actually make a proper business out of it then that would be a bonus :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    I'd buy Ireland, and then sell it on to China at a huge profit.

    Launching pad for expansion into Europe, hello???

    Id buy a fur coat, get a wad of 100 euro notes from the atm, and then skip merrily along beside a dole queue handing out the cash, while singing "Always look on the bright side of life"

    Give half to the Childrens hospital in crumlin. :)

    I'd spend some of it on women, drink, drugs and fast cars. . . I'd squander the rest.

    If it were a big win I would first buy/build my dream home. Then I'd give each of my family members some money, donate a wad to charity, leave my job and get one I like more, and stick the rest in the bank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,807 ✭✭✭Poly


    send off my bank details to the government officials in Nigeria so they could transfer it in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭reverenddave


    i'd buy 10-15 acres in west cork or kerry
    build a straw bale house,
    buy a new hilux,
    section off 2 acres for keeping pigs
    and sheeps :D for meat
    dig a big pond for chickens and ducks and geese for eggs
    and a huge veggie garden
    and live happily ever after :D

    ...Or give a large amount to a special bank account where they could consistently gain the interest of it for ever.

    Give 20% of the winnings to my folks.

    Pay a group of 150 people to vigorously clap & cheer as i break dance on the street every single day until the money runs out.

    or

    Fullfill my dream of setting up a breakdancing school specifically for overweight people. I would call it Yo Chubby got Moves.

    How original.

    Id buy a multinational company and make myself ceo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    I think a holiday of at least a month would be required with maybe a couple of grand spending cash. The winnings would have to be put in a place where they cant be touched for the duration of the holiday so plenty of thought could be given to how it would be spent or invested


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,778 ✭✭✭Pauleta


    Booze and sluts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Film a gang of at least 20 female porn stars jerking off into a swimming pool.

    Well now how much is the lottery, because if it is less than 100 Million forget about it if you want to live the life per example:

    Dublin Penthouse: 2 Million.
    Weekend Cottage: 1/2 Million.
    New York Loft: 5 Million
    Hamptons Summer Home: 8 Million
    Aspen Ski home: 5 Million
    Vegas Pad: 2 Million
    Yacht: 5 Million
    3 cars: 1/2 Million

    And then you have to maintain all these homes plus have to pay staff and it doesn't long be adding up to 2 million per year just to maintain the lifestlye, im telling ye its not all easy once you win big money.

    It would be easier if you didn't spend ridiculous money on houses around the world. What would be the point in that? Maybe get a holiday home somewhere in the sun, but hotels would do when visiting other places

    I'd hire 2 Private Investigators and get them to follow each other around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭LizT


    I'd buy my mum a ski chalet somewhere so she would stop giving out about never getting to go on holidays anywhere.

    I'd have a massive party somewhere and pay for all my friends to arrive by helicopter, limos etc. :D

    I'd go to Vegas and rent a suite in Caeser's or the Bellagio just to live the high life for a couple of days.

    I'd buy myself a car and get driving lessons (finally). Actually I'd buy two cars, a nice one for going into town in and another one for Sunday driving.

    Then I'd buy/build myself a house somewhere. I would probably finish out my degree and work for a few years so that if it did all go belly up, as least I would actually be qualified to work.

    And not forgetting a massive shopping spree in Chanel, Mulberry, Marc Jacobs... the list goes on. And if any shop assistants gave me any snotty looks, I would pay to have them removed from the shop.

    I'm going mad with power already...

    I'd buy a nice house in some forest in the US.

    I'd buy a massive over-powered classic muscle car that does 6mpg.

    I'd have an extension built onto the above house filled with classic and rare guitars and amps.

    Give some to family and charity then invest the rest, and retire at the age of 20.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭desertcircus


    Buy a small distillery in Scotland, a small brewery in Belgium and an Indian restaurant in Dublin, and hire a Vietnamese tailor full-time. That way even if the money disappears I'll still have whisky, beer, good food and bespoke clothes.

    And hand every women's shelter in the country a copy of the Argos catalogue for the kids' Christmas presents and take care of the bill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭tinofapples


    I'd move outta Ireland !!

    I love when people give 'donate to charity' as an answer.

    Such obv bullsh1t.

    Throwing the whole handfull of pocket change into the bucket rather than filtering out the copper is about as close to 'donating to charity' as they'll get.
