    Probably still in bed as we speak.


    I won the money, and I'm gonna open a pub that only sells Bulmers and we'll have no toilets, BUT a huge screen and every night we're open we all watch a film.

    Define "waste" and define "good cause" though...

    If I won the Lotto I'd keep quiet about it. I wouldn't even tell my wife about it to begin with. I'd invest it all and just live off the proceeds and tell her the full story when the fuss had long died down, like two years later.

    I'd also send anonymous donations to my friends, so that they could all pay off the mortgage - on the condition they say they inherited. Nobody else would know, because otherwise you'd have every fcuker and his wife with a sob story looking for a few bob, and you'd be plagued by charity cold-callers.

    My aunt in England won the pools back in the 70's which would be the equivalent of winning the lotto now and they told us aside from the security it was one of the worst things to happen to them. Friends turned on them overnight and they'd get literally 100 calls a week from charities and sob stories. They had to move in the end to be with other minted people.

    So I would definitely never tell anyone unless it was the euromillions cause to be fair you'd never hide that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,101 ✭✭✭MitchKoobski


    I always told me that if I won I wouldn't say a word. I'd live my life as I normally do, but I'd just have no want for money. I could enjoy meself without having to think "Ah I can't afford to go out this weekend" or whatever.

    The jig would probably be up when I book that trip to Vegas though.

    Why? Loads of people go to Vegas, doesn't mean you've won the lotto.

    years ago my sister won a house but took the money instead. She got a load of letters from "friends" in need of money. Wouldnt mind but it wasnt an awful lot of money, well not by todays standards anyhow.

    Heard it was a couple from county Waterford myself, who had been visiting, or in Ardkeen hospital and went to Tesco too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    I heard it was a young lesbian couple from Norway.

    Load of crap.
    Probably best to close this thread as its going absolutely no where and the family have asked that they not have their names given out, but more than likely some gossiping moron might actually say who it was just so the can look like a superstar on boards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


    I heard Seanybiker won it and he's been drinking cans of Dutch on Ballybricken for the last few days.
    In September he plans on doing a night course.

    And where exactly did you expect this thread to go? People view this thread because they want to find out who it was who won not to congratulate some person they dont know on winning it. :rolleyes:
