    As me granny sez, that sort of money won't bring you happiness but it can bring you the kind of sadness you can live with.

    Honestly you would be stupid if you would share your personal details with whole world after winning. Just lay low, don't overspend and you will be fine.

    easier said than done I'd imagine how anyone could hide something like that and carry on as normal...I know i'd struggle to and sure you have to look after family so somebodys gonna let it slip there anyway
    You'd be sitting at work and folks would wonder why you are so happy...miss a few days...buy a nice car...wouldnt take much for people to cop on
    I certainly wouldn't be returning to my job though so there'd be no hope for me

    It's 'only' €29,185 of annual income to get into the top one per cent.....not as high as you would imagine, lots of us already there without realising

    But the problem is that global price indices aren't the same.

    Imagine a spare €29k would buy you a lavish mansion over in the hills of Nepal, or a nice beach residence upon the shores of Papua New Guinea. Even perhaps a good few years of luxury living, with dancing samba ladies to greet you every morning down on the copa, the copa-Copacabana.

    The 8 chaps that own 1/2 of the earths financial wealth between them are the ones that need to lighten up.

    6%! You looper.

    That'd be over 5 mill.

    Garage gets less than .03% of this lump

    You only have to sit tight until someone wins 2/3m on the Irish lotto and doesn't go public then let it be known on the grapevine that it was you. Life of Reilly.

    You'd just as likely to be targeted for winning 5 million as 88 million.

    Nah. Buy a nice house and some other stuff and an ARF and people will know you have very little left. Not enough for any parasite / bloodsucker / gold digger / "republican" :rolleyes: terrorist to bother with you...

    You can pay to stay anonymous though. Obviously would after winning that amount.

    **** that, I would flaunt it everywhere. I would travel around in a convoy of Cadillac Escalades to go the shops. €88m is one problem I would love to have.

    They'll need all the luck they can get. Personally I wouldn't want to win anything like 88 million. You need armed security (risk of kidnap), you're an instant celebrity, people will start digging in your personal life, skeletons will come out of the closet, you'll get begging letters, nightmare! 5 million or so would be more than plenty for me. Buy a nice house, pay off a few mortgages for family, buy a few nice cars and then modest financial independence for life.

    Absolutely agree. If you offered me €88m right now, I'd tell you to fcuk right off. *












    *Not even a little bit true.

    The bitter bastards could dig all they want but I'll still be the one with €88m.

    Nah, they'll come looking for the money, when you can't find it cause you put it in an a retirement fund (the lord wept) they'll kill ya

    You might as well take the 88 million and spend it, as your a dead man walking going by your logic

    People have been abducted and murdered over the money on their ATM card

    People here have been killed over €100 or a mobile phone. And the guilty will only spend a few years inside for manslaughter.

    There's lots of Irish people worth way more than €88m wandering around.


    88c a litre means you save less than 50c a litre, topping up with 25 litres would save you €12.50 , less fuel costs getting there and idling in the queue. I'm guessing that a lot of people in that queue were on less than minimum wage.

    Pay who, the lotto crowd? Not to make it publicly know who won?

    That doesn't sound right.

    Ah that has a ring of something I've heard before, that you forfeit something by not going public as they lose out on the publicity.

    Anyway how you could hide the fact you have that much money is another story, Ireland is a small country and sure once you tell family thats the cat out of the bag almost certainly.

    Yeh but there's a big difference in family and friends knowing and being plastered across all the newspapers and internet.

    You're correct. It's not right. Winners choose to go public or stay anonymous when they are getting their payout. Simple as that. Whether it gets out after deciding anonymity or not is another deal altogether.

    Plenty of people who 88m would be pocket change to walk around everyday with not a care in the world. You don't need security if you win 88m unless you are connected to crime and are stupid enough to announce it to the world. It's a very over the top claim, I wouldnt worry at all.

    Don't go public and live a very nice extravagant life for yourself and your family. I'd love to win that sort of money, yeah 5m makes you very wealthy but 88m makes you a different world of wealthy and that would be something I would very much like to experience.

    €5m makes you rich. €88m makes you wealthy.
