    Pay off all the family's mortgages, put a 40 or 50 grand away for each of the kids. buy a Audi Q7 a nice house and go on holiday for a year, just coming back for a few days here and there to check in.

    What would you do?

    Buy a computer and a car. Put the rest away, get on with my life. I'd like it to be a fallback, not my entire life.

    250k to each sibling = 1 million
    100k for each nephew/niece = 400k
    The most for my ma for looking after me:D = 600k

    = 2 million

    Buy a house and car and put the rest in the bank, live off the interest.

    buy a warehouse, buy 3millions worth of sweets [penny sweet kind] empty them into half the warehouse. Get a punter or many [one at a time], and get them to count the sweets as they bring them to the empty side.

    In the middle though there will be many podiums/windows of screaming hot women and general stuff which would make you think wtf if you passed by it.

    give 1m to the person who guesses the right answer, he earned it!
    if he gets it wrong even by one sweet he leaves with nothing

    no women allowed to enter!
    sexist competition is sexist

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    I'd pay a few hundred people to clap & cheer as i breakdance in the street. Every single day for a few years. Yeah EVERY SINGLE DAY.:mad:

    Also i'd pay a private detective to follow another private detective around. Private detective 2 would be following the other one. An unending game of cat & mouse. Utterly pointless but its my money.

    I'd build a robotic unicorn to be the ultimate cop. A cop that never eats or sleeps & never gets tired & has 4 legs. UNICOP 309.

    What has you paying money into that sh*thole?


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


    I'd hire a high class hooker to fellate me.

    I'd lodge the money. Take out about €10k and have a big holiday to consider how the money should be spent

    That's something quite similar as to what the banks and investors were thinking as they were building them.

    Buy everyone who thanked a post of mine a pint (or a ginger ale if they're teetotalers).

    I'd buy one of those steam mops on the infomercial :):)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,903 ✭✭✭Napper Hawkins


    I'd burn it.

    It's not about the money, it's about sending a message.:cool:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 810 ✭✭✭augustus gloop


    TBH and shallow....
    i would buy some big ass ball of cocaine, and spend alot of time in the company of high class call girls....
    after a surprisingly short space of time the drugs would create depression and the hookers fake love would cause self loathing and upon reaching a crossroads in my life, i would carry out aid work in africa.

    everyone thinks the lotto would enhance your life... 90% of the time it is a bad thing long term

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    If i won 7 million i wouldnt tell anyone how i didnt have to give them money. I'd buy my own gaff and tell people im selling drugs to feed my lavish lifestyle of fast cars, fast women and fast food. Im not close to my family so they wouldnt have a clue and I'd probably get new friends as well.

    The lotto is tax free (here in Ireland)

    I'd head off to dublin with a bag of 50euro notes and burn them one by one in front of Roma beggars around the city centre. I'd give all the irish beggars €150 to get mad drunk on whiskey and beer!

    I would buy a yacht, park it up in Monte Carlo, and host really private poker games, invitation only. Then when it got really popular among all the jetsetters, i would invite all the guys who play James Bond to attent, and tell them to wear their best tucks. How cool is that?

    Oh, buy some fast cars, hire a personal trainer, eat fruit all day, think of things to buy then buy them, buy fast cars, never ever cook again, hire personal chef to cook me steak everyday. Build a kick ass computer and play battlefield.

    Spend 6 million of it to develop a time machine, travel back to 1995 and buy one million postman pats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 511 ✭✭✭Alan b.


    send my folks off to galway to wherever they want to retire, buy the two houses and surrounding courtyard and barns that are up the road from me, and the land with the castle ruins on it that over look the court yard and then do the place up, as one big house and raised gardens. buy some luxury cars, kit out a workshop, buy some military vehicles,
    buy a business that'll never stop making profit, and just enjoy myself learning skills i will never need as i have enough money to pay somebody else to do stuff for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    €1m for the parents.
    €200k for an apartment in Munich, Prague, Melbourne, Uppsala and Girona (€1m total).
    €200k for cars ('01 XKR, '05 M5, '02 Phaeton W12, '05 Ariel Atom)
    €2m spread among 10 people

    That's €4.2m gone, €2.8m left.
    €2.8m invested @ 6% outside the country = €168k per year. Luxury.

    That's it.
