    Nope, I think most of my money would be going to Switzerland, possibly buy some Swiss gold and wait for the dollar and euro to collapse and deffo wouldn't tell anyone that I won it (Euromillions that is) :D

    Please

    Okay, because you asked nicely:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭Solnskaya


    looked at the server set-up and aint too sure if Boards are that flush! It would need to be waay more commercialised to be interesting.
    .
    .
    .
    .McDonalds make the best Burgers.
    LG are Greeat TV's
    Shop Bodyshopdirect.

    (Thats my contribution to commercialising it):D

    just after checking my ticket... I WON THE EUROMILLIONS!!!!



    well, got 3 numbers on the plus, 20 quid, not so bad


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 874 ✭✭✭cesc77


    Facekicker......you are now head mod....

    I trust your judgement.Any action you take may it be swift and righteous.

    boards.ie/ :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭✭later12


    How rich and intelligent are the owners?

    If they're intelligent and not so rich, probably not.
    If they're poor and not so intelligent, probably yes.

    Pretty sure that it's made public whoever wins the Euromillions, unlike the lotto here where you can choose to remain anonymous when collecting the money.

    Nope there are anonymous winners. If I won it would also go into some bank in Switzerland. Keep maybe 1 million spending money here, in 500e notes. Tell nobody except maybe the family if they're lucky

    Sorry, one of my old teachers misinformed me so.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,217 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    Yep and leave it pretty much as it is, just remove all ads forever and all need for ads and PR and all the other guff that can impinge on how it may be perceived and buy the best legal firm in Europe to defend it from twats and ambulance chasers.

    Oh and I'd have an island, with an underground lair and lots of scientists in lab coats and lots and lots of orange jumpsuited minions. Building rocket powered bioweapons and such. A mix of Germans and Chinese I reckon. They've got previous. And a few Ferarri california spiders and floosies, lots of floosies.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    my whole family would be getting cash, you cant take it with you. Its pointless hiding it away in a vault. Who'd spend it for you if you went down in a plane or got the cancer curse.... lives too short.

    Yep. Change it to adsbro.ie. Forum upon forum filled with ads.

    Make millions.

    Alternatively, change it to sadbro.ie. The depression site for bros.

    Make comparatively less, but still a rather large amount of, millions.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone


    No, Id have cash to do fun things and wouldn't have to waste my time on this pile of sh!te

    I think you forgot Hired Goons, essential for a criminal mastermind bent on world domination.

    And I think its "floozies" BTW.

    We already have an elite team of mercenary hand-to-hand fighters modding AH.

    They can be redeployed if necessary.

    Did they have to be brought in after The_Citizen disappeared?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    Why do you think he disappeared in the first place?

    Just as well I don't smoke or read the paper then.

    I bought a burger off some beour in Dungarvan there a while back with a 100e note, she asked if I had anything smaller and I said no. Completely missed my opportunity to say something witty to her

    Her ma took the 100e off her and gave me change. I suppose after a certain size the ma takes over


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    I'd buy it and change the name to broads.ie

    just because - no particular reason.

    No, I would spend the money on clothes, travel, and a lifetime supply of milkybars. Yum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


    I couldn't see myself buying boards with the euromillions money.

    I think I'd invest it in Anglo Irish bank shares - now that's a company going places....

    AH mods are just volunteers, you really need proper Hired Goons for the court case later. You know plausible deniability and all that. Ask any mob boss. He'll tell ya. Or he might get his Hired Goons to do it for him.

    Ya need good henchmen too. You see all evil villains underestimate how important it is to properly train these and get good quality ones. Instead they go for the cheapo ones and that Bond fecker makes light work of them

    I'd try to purchase Distilled Media


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    No I would use the money to buy a Premier League football team and wind it down, selling off the crucial assets.

    I'd buy channel 4 and wind it down. Sure its only worth about 10 cents now that every reality show on there has had its day
