If you won the Euromillions......

tallaghtmick

All the time I hear "if I win the euromillions ill give you half"

Would you go ahead with the promise if you won the 65 million tonight?

Sonics2k

Id buy loads of Atari jaguars

F*ck no.

I need that money for my functional Iron Man outfit!!!

Samich

Another one.

DanTheMan91

I would look after certain people.

NothingMan

Id buy loads of Atari jaguars

My family would all be pretty wealthy. My close friends would be well looked after and some charities I believe in would get very generous donations. But the over whelming majority would be spent on living a fucking awesome life!

Lady Chuckles

Give some, save some, spend some... It's only money so why the hay not? :pac:

... After I've bought loads of Atari Jaguars, of course.

WinstonOno

doesn't matter, she'd get half when i divorce her

gregers85

Def not half lol
Iv a friend and for yrs weve being sayin if I win il buy him a Merc and if he wind he'll buy me a porsche haha I'd keep to that alright haha

parc

Nah unless I went halfers on a ticket with someone

Otherwise I'd just look after people. Would be crazy to give away half, with the amount of interest you'd get on 65 million. I'd look after them on a regular basis

tallaghtmick

No

I meant about how we promise 1 person half your winnings if you win trying to be less scabby in the vain hope that faith looks down on you and goes awww what a nice person,So would you pay up or do a legger:pac:

cr17

I think 15 mil would go towards looking after family & Friends etc. Rest for me. Girlfriend only gets pocket money each week, but its quite a decent amount.

CardBordWindow

This thread is pointless, as I am going to win the Lotto tonight.:D
You people are living on false hope!

Hells no, i would look after my family but the rest is mine, MINE I TELLS YOU!!

My name is URL

No

I voted yes, but don't do the lotto so am unlikely to be giving any of it away. Though, if I did win 65 million I reckon I would give around half of it away.

I'd give a lot of it to people I care about and to charity, but not half.

So essentially you would keep your girlfriend on a leash? Nice of you :P

It's kind of funny how whenever this topic comes up I day dream of all the things I would do with the money and my life, yet never dream of actually buying a lotto ticket...

redfacedbear

I'll be giving away 7/9ths of it

Sooopie

I'd look after my family and my friends, give some to charity, but nope, I wouldn't be giving away half of it.

niallers1

No

I would keep 5 million for myself, pay off the debts and mortgages of friends and family and give away the rest to charities chosen by me or maybe even set up my own charity to keep me busy.

TPD

I'd give half of whatever was left when I died, to charity. There probably wouldn't be much though :P

zyxwvu

20 million to family

9 million for lifetime spending on big purchases through the years, kids educations, house, holiday house, new car every 2 years.. etc

35 million earning interest to draw a 'salary' of about 200,000 a year, just for "walking-around money", rising in nominal value as the years go on in line with inflation/accumulated interest. Give principal to kids when dead.

1 million for charity throughout the years

Bipolar Joe

My Pop says he'd buy me a house, which would be pretty awesome. I'm a selfish bastard, though, I'd take the money and run.

CathyMoran

No

That kind of money is too much so yes I would give away a lot of it if I won it but I would also get more actively involved in the charities that I support.

RichieC

Id buy loads of Atari jaguars

I'd probably just laugh until I dropped dead if i won it.

Plazaman

Go easy with it or you'll end up like THIS poor sod.

longshanks

I'd give my family 5 million each, keep about 10 million for myself and then give the rest away in 1 million euro slices, making friends and some cousins lucky/happy/jammy millionaires.

pff, no such thing :pac:

you could essentially give away half and live off the interest of the remainder, and live well. I'd pay off my sisters mortage, give her enough to support herself and my nephew until he's an adult, give my parents a loads, and close friends would clear any debts they had, then head off on a trip around the world for a few years. how amazing would it be to know you can arrive at an airport and go literally anywhere you want no matter what the cost.

Can't go giving massive chunks away to people or the taxman will get big slices. Gift tax is 25% once you go over the thresholds!!

There is a way round it though. Ye can PM me if ye win and I'll explain. For a very reasonable fee

Just say everyone was part of a syndicate

65 millions are not too much money
the house Id buy and where I would live would cost around 3/4 millions already+ money invested, other assets etc and a few bits and pieces and they are gone

TheInquisitor

I would buy boards and make sure no one could open up another one of these threads.

Just to put a damper on the thread, think of all the Capital Acquisitions Tax (Gift tax) the family (depending on relationship) and, especially, friends, would have to pay on the divvy from your winnings. 25% tax after the threshold (exempt amount). :eek: Tax free amounts are: To son or daughter (or grandchild where son or daughter has died) €332,084, to mother or father, grandchild, brother or sister, niece or nephew €33,208, and to anyone else (neighbour, friend, cousin) €16.604.

You could give half to your spouse without any tax implications.

LaVail

No

I'd give away half and go stone mad with the rest.

Mongarra

TO PIGEONBUTLER AND LONGSHANKS:

Sorry, I started a post and was interrupted - imagine an inconsiderate client ringing for information on a Friday afternoon! - so finished it later and you had both posted about the tax implications.

MetalDog

No

I'd pay off the parent's debts, put the rest of my siblings through college, have a few people killed, you know, the normal stuff everyone would do. Don't know about half though.

tallaghtmick

No

I often thought about this...

Could you say keep the full amount in your own account and say you had two brothers. Open a joint account for eachone and say put 3 grand a week in there and let them use that. Would you still be liable for CAP TAX?

of course it would.

the only feesable way to give them a shít load of money is declare it as a syndiacate ticket, split it between your parents and sisters/brothers/kids.

have 3 brothers and my parents. if i win it, they get an equal share.

myself and 4 very close mates also wont be seen nor heard from for a year or 2.

if i were to take my 1/5 share, and try spend every penny in 20 years, i would need to spend 12,500 a week! not including interest either..
i struggle to spend my €188 dole a week

x_Ellie_x

I wouldn't give away half of it. I'd give away some... I'd look after family and friends, then use the rest to move out of the country and relocate to the USA, Canada or maybe Australia.

They would become liable to CAT when all the €3,000 per week added up to the €33,208 (after only 11 weeks or so).
