    Wasn't me anyway. We'll see if the irish winner goes public.

    Just went to check the results and say there was an Irish winner. I did it online so doubt it's me. Sure would you tell us if you had ?

    Yeah I would. Not like I know anyone from here

    Oh yeah fair point. I did it online so I'll wait and see if I won anthing at all. I doubt it very much though. Jesus €175 million though. You'd want to be awfully stupid to lose all that.

  • Registered Users Posts: 933 ✭✭✭El_Bee


    they email you if you win anything so I don't know why people are checking the website.

    Yeah that's if you did it online but you can still check the numbers on the site without using it to play using the site.

    I won €4.

    It was announced that it was bought in a retail store so not an online winner.

    Yeah, I only know people who have won small amounts, less than €50 on both the euro and Irish lottery. Then again, I dont know anyone who has announced winning more than 2k in general so my pool is limited!

    Some of the rumours about the winners are referring to a family syndicate.

    I'd be SICK if my numbers came up, but I had to give most of it away, to share with the losers who picked the wrong numbers.

    My family are currently in a serious dispute over where we're going to spend Easter. If we won that kind of money, it would make the Hutch /KInehan feud look like a game of marbles.

    I couldn't fathom NOT sharing it evenly with my family, even if it was only the 15mil jackpot

    Hide it all under the mattress ....:D

    Seriously though, I would buy a few properties throughout the country and abroad. I would also give a sizeable chunk towards my family members and I would give something towards a deserving charity. I would also retire from working and live like a rich idle itinerant :)

    Oh, I'd definitely share it with family. Pay off their mortgages, pay for their kids' college fees - that kind of thing.

    But dividing it up equally? Sorry now, lads. Blood is blood, but money is money, and it's all mine miNE MINE. (I'd be an awful Lottery winner, in fairness)

    That all depends on how well you get on with your family. :D:D

    ......recite one hundred and seventy five million euro!!!!

    Some film he was in and he kept saying six million dollars over and over again, changing the rhythm and cadence and emphasis on each repetition of that joyous phrase. Think what he would make of €175,000,000.

    Jesus, that amount of money would make me into a psychopath.

    No one would know.

    I would fear for any children I may have.

    Peoples names would have to change.

    I would dump half of it to maintain life's most precious gift, anonymity and privacy.

    I am extremely fortunate that I do not have any hate figures or people in authority who can cause me unease or fear although I used to have these people, bosses and supervisors and the like. €175,000,000 would turn me into a vicious monster if I did have enemies.

    ....saying €175,000,000. And putting his pinky up to his mouth.

    Was that Michael or Kevin Myers? I find them hard to tell apart.

    Share it out with family. Buy a property in my home town and hand it over to be used for local health services to be used by volunteers. To many suicides in ireland. Young men in particular dont seem to have an outlet for their feelings to be heard. I would buy also land to be used as parkland for the local town.
