The biggest amount won after that in Ireland is €197, 16 winners.

It's a different one. His was for 22nd December, while the unclaimed was 23rd September.

Should be enough for a few months rent in Dublin or to clear the credit card bill after Christmas. Sound.

Nah your wan delores in Limerick won the 100mill and told the whole pub that night

The first thing that comes to my mind when I dream of winning the lotto is that time when a gang broke into a house, punched the wife around looking for money, made the 16 y.o daughter walk on broken glass so she wouldn’t run away. I’d stay under the radar.

The second is - feck yous all I’m off to the Pacific.

I hope it’s a syndicate.

I never play the lotto. Just think the chances of winning are not worth it. But then when I hear this I wish I did!

One ticket in Ireland got 38 million in tonight's draw. Sixteen tickets in Ireland got €197 each in tonight's draw. Nothing in between.

Apologies I read your post arseways!!! Thought you were saying it was the biggest win bar 16 people who shared 197m. Sorry

:o

I hope whoever won it deserves it. I recall a rapist who won a huge sum of money years ago. Lord why? If I won that kind of money, I would never keep it. I would keep just enough to live out my life comfortably. I watch documentaries a lot. I watch a lot of stuff about people who grew up like me. I would hire someone to find a lot of those people and give them money to help them. I hate to see good people struggling.

the suspect is in Laois according to the Leinster Express

ygolometsipe · 30-12-2017 3:21pm

It's a real pity they don't have a lotto where the top prize is smaller but there's more off them.

I.e. the 38 mill could be 10 prizes of 3.8 mil each.

The 100 mill would give 3 mill to almost 30 people.

3 mill is a grand number.

Anyway congrats to the winner. Can ya give me a mill or 2

Bet they feel like such idiots for wasting their money on lottery products. Fools and their money.........

I wish they'd cap winnings at like 5 mill. Nobody needs 38 mill, and you could set 7-38 people up for life with that. If I won a million, I'd buy a house. Right there, biggest expenditure of my life cleared. I'd have to keep working, but I'd be loaded forever off what I earned - it would make life so much easier.
