    I won the million on Who wants to be a millionaire....












    ...board game


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    Won €2k a few months back thanks to boards :)

    €554k though, that would be a perfect amount. I said I'd never go on winning streak but that's a f*ckin stupid thing to say when you think about it. I want loadsa money

    Won 500 big ones today, most I've ever won.

    Willem II Tilburg against Heerenveen, they were 100 to 1 on to win the game at half time being 0-2 down. I stick on 5 quid purely for the odds and they end up winning 4-3, happy days! :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,680 ✭✭✭Tellox


    Won something like €200 in a talent show years ago for playing guitar. Although one of the judges didnt know I was using a backing track, so eh..might be a bit of a biased win come to think of it. I still don't understand this, there were drums like.

    Anyway, while that's not too impressive, a mate of mine, all in the same day;

    Won an in-college sweepstake for €800
    Received his college grant which he was told he would not be getting - around €3000 give or take
    Won a work raffle for €1600
    and...found a fiver while walking home.

    Lucky cnut.

    I just got an email from the Nigerian National Lottery, apparently I have won it! :) Didn't even know I was entered, I am picking up my cheque for $126,352,315.14 next week! :) I'll give 20 million to charity though, I'm not greedy. :)

    I won 60 quid in the lotto the first ever time I did it. I thought I was onto a winner, that I was guaranteed to win something every week. Foolish me.

    I also won best a$$ in school three consecutive years, in a survey conducted by our male counterparts. That title alone is enough of a prize. I miss those days ...........................

    Won E16000 playing online poker couple of years ago and being young and foolish spent it over the course about 6 months partying hard. I didn't care at the time because it only cost me about E10 investment to win. Fcuk i could really do with some of it now though!!!!:(

    $3,500 on a hand of poker

    About the same but I won euros.:cool: Weirdest hand I've ever seen. Three of us, all playing jack-ten off suit. Flop comes Q-9-8 with two clubs. We're all trapping until the serious money starts going in and then we're all trying not to give the bloke with A-Q clubs a free card. Every shekel goes in as we all have the nuts. Turn comes a club, river comes a club and I'm sitting there with the jack of clubs.:D

    On the other side, my biggest loss ever was also in the Fitz. I had aces against kings. All goes in pre-flop and the bastard hits a third king on the river.:(:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 558 ✭✭✭Metallitroll


    he blindfolded me; led me to a room around the back n said put yer hand out. i heard a drawer opening he said one, pick one. i put me hand in the drawer i felt lots of paper all around. i shirked the fleshy thing protruding from a hole in the bottom and pulled out a twenty, he said there was bigger. but he was not a reputable bookie
