    You could build a wall around your house so high nobody would ever bother you, arrive and leave by chopper.

    That's a very defeatist attitude to be fair. One ticket in this country is worth €175 million so why can't it be your syndicate ?

    Not really defeatist. The odds are quite clearly against us.

    Unless you play the lotto in seasons in thurles they sold both a 7 million and 17 million winners in the space of 6 months

    But the odds have been cut drastically, you were competing against the rest of Europe, now you know you're only competing against the few people in Ireland who bought a ticket.

    Apparently it was someone who I think doesn't deserve it.

    140,000,000/1 - seriously, how lucky is that person/those people. Fantastic win altogether. Biggest winner of the euromillions in Ireland ever. 14th time Ireland has won it in as many years since it's inception. Oh for a teeny weeny slice of that pie. :rolleyes:

    You could help others. Funnily when I imagine winning, I think of all the people I can help, not what I can buy.

    If you did it online/via app, you would have received an email by now.

    Ha , I do too !
    Half a million is a manageable number to me . Enough to help a lot of people in different ways .
    Life changing amounts of money don't always have to have a gazillion zeroes in them :)

    Well folks,in the words of that great song writer Shaggy,it wasn't me,but whoever it is good health to u


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,777 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    Saw poster in shop today for it and didn't have the money to buy a ticket. Seems like I am too poor to get rich. FML.

    I'd buy Bono and donate him to the Brits.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,534 ✭✭✭Stacksofwacks


    Thats a mind boggling amount of money. If it was me I'd torch my own house for a laugh just to annoy the neighbours

    This, I would become a complete racist. I am already 65% there.

    So you look at the numbers and realise you have won that kind of money...what do you do with the ticket until you can get it to the National Lottery, or wherever you take it? Put it on your bedside table, but what if the house caught fire and you didn't have time to grab it, or the lights were all gone and it fell on the floor, or one of the kids came in and decided to scribble on it. Would you just sit and mind it all night. Then you leave it down while you go and get tidied up to go to Dublin and...well anything could happen. It doesn't bear thinking about, not worth it really. Safer not to win.

    Buy online. Total anonymity and no fear of losing your ticket either. ;)

    What do you do if you're on the way to Abbey Street (Lotto HQ) with the ticket in your wallet and a couple of scrotes pull a knife on you, demanding your wallet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,323 ✭✭✭JustAThought


    I'd buy the country a lowlife and scumbag assisination taskforce. Do Dublin & the surrounding countries a favour and have half the scumbags just taken out. Free up a few hundred million in legal aid annually and let the OAPs sleep safely in their houses at night.

    Sadly I didnt buy a ticket do its not going to happen anytime soon.

    You don't need the lotto, you have my vote. A few counties will do, just as south as Kerry.

    Surrounding countries, money won’t go too far
