    Depending on how much I won the first thing I would do is come on board the production of Satoshi Kon unfinished film The Dreaming Machine and invest 8 million in it allowing the animators to finish the film.

    Cheer. Then go and collect it.

    Kill a man. I'm rich, I can afford it now.

    Check to see that I was sharing with another 100,000,000 winners.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,354 ✭✭✭cjmcork


    the minute I'd realised I'd won it - I guess I'd book a flight to Dublin then to collect it? Can you charter a private plane in Ireland and get the Lottery to open on a Sunday, assuming I'd won it at the w/e!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,009 ✭✭✭OldmanMondeo


    Depending on where I was, if at home, lock the kids in their room and shag the wife, if in a shop let a huge fart and piss on the floor.

    Go out for a meal, either to Cafe Paradiso or to another lovely place, and discuss with my husband how we're going to go about setting up the animal charity, and depending on the size of the win, the vegetarian restaurant and possibly the bookshop as well :)

    I'd celebrate somehow. Then collect it and hire some security team and an accountant.

    absolutely nothing different from what I'd always done for at least a year.

    aaah that sounds lovely!....really lovely

    playing devils advocate here but wouldn't you rather

    off the husband in some fiendishly clever way where everyone feels sorry for you and you dont have to share.......get some gorgeous but none too bright toy boy for sexy time when a safe period of time has elapsed........then go to the most expensive decadent restaurant around to discuss your upcoming off the books safari to shoot the last of the endangered jaguar whose hide will adorn the entrance to your rare and endangered species culinary experience and upperclass s&m sex bookshop fusion private members club type thing?

    just a thought!

    Bank it. Then take out 10 grand and go on a big f*ck off holiday to vegas. Hire a couple of high class hookers.One to fellate me and the other to go atm.

    Enough time to consider how best to spend the money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 593 ✭✭✭AnamGlas


    Put the numbers away for safekeeping, then probably forget where i put them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,008 ✭✭✭✭Zebra3


    Hope t'f**k no-one else had the same numbers so I didn't have to split it!! :pac:

    Quite a lot of fun, only unlike many morons who win the lottery I really wouldn't want to advertise the fact that I had come into money by flaunting it down the pub and buying round after round for people. Nothing worse I imagine than having people coming to you looking for money as they tell you their sad story.

    the way things are going for you, you'll probably only end up getting a text off Síle...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    I'd quietly cash the ticket, slowly buy new items over a number of weeks without telling anyone about the win and see how long it takes for people to notice.

    I'd help myself which covers all of the above. :D

    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.

    prob be terribly stereotypical and cry, scream, jump around, check the numbers over and over for an hour-have ecstatic s3x with hubby, then go to 24hr tesco (cos nothin else would be open) and go on a MAHOOSIVE shopping spree for all the decent foodstuffs we can never afford :( no more pasta and beans........bliss!!:D
