You just won 120 Million

Poor Uncle Tom

So......

What are you going to do with it?

Drugs, drink and prostitutes, are all well and good but what are you going to do with the other 119,999,900......:D

Dakotabigone

I’d give you a few euro so you wouldn’t be poor any more Tom.

Build a time machine.

Go back one month.

Post in the last thread that asked the same question.

Repeat it over and over again.

Buy a modest (as that's all you'd get) yacht and spend some time traveling around the world.

Put it ALL on red. 240 mil now that's REAL money I can work with.

Provide my town with a top of the range swimming pool and leisure centre!

Mint Sauce

Probably something similar to some of the other 120 Million threads I replied to on the same subject.

Buy a house next to the sea of tranquility

With the other 119,999,900, I'd build a spaceship and go up and write "Fcuk Off England" on the moon.

Buy a pickup truck and then spend millions forcing Irish insurance companies up to the supreme Court to insure it privately, yes I'm that petty

Then get one of these and take them for round two.

Just don't get a certain construction company that's building the National Children's Hospital (amongst other over-budget projects ) to do it... They'll be back for more and you'll be broke by the end of February. By the end of March you'll probably owe them money


I wouldn't even tell the wife if I won it - she'd be expecting the same next week FFS...

Move. Far far away from the inlaws.
And then a bit further.

Buy a nice, but modest, house, detached, near a town but isolated enough that I don't have to look at anyone.

Buy a nice, completely impractical jeep (VW Amarok, etc).

Continue my day-to-day life as normal, albeit with less stress from surrounding scumbags, or worries about bills.

Donate some cash to a small charity or two that will actually benefit from it, and then turn my current sh/thole estate into a pet project to try and turn it around by completely bypassing the council and spending money on it myself.

Threads like this piss me off.

Didn’t even know the Euromillions was on today and you go and post that.

I ended up going onto lotto.ie to do two lines. The website then requires a minimum €10 top up so ended up having to do 3 lines for a total of €10.50

And I’ll get nothing in return!

For better value for money, you should do the lotto a few days in advance.


Then your €10.50 gets you a few days of dreaming about the money you'll never see, rather than a few hours.

Well my chances of ever winning the lottery in general are about as good as my getting the ride off Angelina Jolie BUT if by miracle it did happen I'd do the exact opposite of the crowd from the north did. Who the hell was advising them to go public. Btw I have done the Euromillions for tonight.

Invest it all in proper twelve

Did they ever get any grief or hassle after going public, out of curiosity?

I hope they haven't and don't but it really was a poor call IMO.

A huge chunk, about 80% of it would go towards the new children's hospital, as long as they move it to a better site that's easier for people outside Dublin to access.

Secure kids futures.

Look after parents.

Holiday home somewhere in Ireland.

96 million will barely tarmac the car park..

20 million charities, 10 million family, house in Rangely, Maine, Volvo xc90, rover p5b coupe, Norton dommie, GTR1400, high nelly repair/build shop.

I'd have to give an awful lump of it away and do something good with it, that'd be a serious noose around your neck.
For me- nice house, new car, set myself up in a business. Keep enough to just live comfortably. Bit of a blowout, nice extended holiday etc.
I'd do the same for all my family and good friends- clear mortgages, buy cars and get them set up.
The rest would have to go to charities, good causes, raok's etc...

Trip to the solicitor to draw up a contract about division of winnings and then get anyone i wanted to benefit to sign the ticket ....so the bastard government dont try and rob them for my good luck and generosity. Then a couple of wild weeks ...

Your Face

Put out a contract on Ray D'Arcy.

I'd have no problem with a "grandad flat".
Granny on the other hand ....

Patlanta

I'd take care of my family first, give them several millions each to pay off mortgages, fund their kids education and generally have a good and happy life.

I'd give a big chunk to charity but I'd need to choose something worthwhile and productive

I'd travel to exotic locations and stay as long as I wanted, drive a Bugatti Veyron and half a dozen other high performance cars, drink whatever wine or champagne I wanted regardless of the cost and hopefully get to sleep with many beautiful women.

Whatever contract you have in mind could not be enforced on the Lottery. All they are looking for is a single name to put on the cheque. If you want to involve other people that is up to you.

Yeah but if I won on my own and wanted control of the pot, and wanted to help people out as I saw fit, without paying gift tax, a trip to a solicitor would sort it out, before people signed the ticket and had an equal share. Independant financial advice is what the lotto would call it, if I remember correctly . Rather give it to family and friends than people who would spend it on the most expensive hospital in the world.

banana_bear

I'd buy a basic spec Dacia Duster for 15'000. The other 119'985'000 I'd use to make sure it gets a 192 number plate.

Go to a solicitor now to check on that. I think the Revenue would come after all the people who got a few million after the event without contributing to the purchase of the ticket. Or better still, set up your syndicate in advance. Then it would be legal.

First thing I would do would ask all my friends and family for a loan.
The amount of the loan would vary depending on their circumstances.
The people who flat out refuse will get nothing.
All others who offer money, advice, ask why I need it or some other help will be top of my list when I choose to distribute some of my good fortune.
