You actually can’t invest winnings like that until a minimum of 6mths after winning it, have to be allowed due time to weight up your options, same goes for inheritance money etc
It would be a standard condition of most investment firms

cena

I would build an ice rink.

JohnnyFlash

A big gaff in the south of France and a couple of horses that would have a chance of winning in Cheltenham

sabat

I'd move 95% of it to Switzerland to keep it out of the Irish banking system.

Share it amongst family

I would build a compound in the countryside for family and some friends, so we could live there in our own new town. The town would be owned and run by elected trustees. There would be a small school for the youngsters, and an equal distribution of income from the businesses approved by the Trust.

Other people could be members of the town if they lived there for a year and were approved in a popular vote. You'd have give a minimum number of days work per week to the town, but otherwise could have your own job.

This is basically how Mountmellick started, and that plan was so successful it was called the Manchester of Ireland.

Put it all on red.

I once worked with a person who won a nice sized Lotto win. They moved too quick to spend big and it didn't work out too well for them in the end.

So:

Upgrade the phone, really need a new one, a high end Android with really good camera.

Don't tell anybody for a while (maybe the Mrs).

Delete this post!

Have a few low key treats. Special restaurant, weekend break, that kinda thing while I (we, I probably will tell the Mrs, she has a good head on her) think things through a bit.

Think up a really good reason for handing in notice to the boss that won't get too much notice. Work notice period with a big smile on my face.

Plan a way to give a percentage to charity and family.

Put most away but keep enough for a pleasant life.

Get a proper health check-up for family members to make sure we are all able to enjoy that pleasant life.

Travel (if that is ever possible again), improve health, visit the people I should be in more contact with.

Take 6 months to do above then find a part time job that i would enjoy. Probably invest in a company and work part-time there to have a challenge but a life.

Do planned giving to kids and any grand kids that join us so as to look after them properly but without spoiling their lives.

Do all the stuff that I said I would love to have done. Must try power gliding, learn to scuba dive in Australia, fly a helicopter, take a trip on a sailing boat as crew member (why I need that good camera phone). Do some of the thing the Mrs wants to do!

Plan for a long game without excesses. Review every few months to make we are smiling and laughing more everyday.

Pretty much all of that is achievable without a lottery win.

You need more coke and hookers!

ObserverOFlife

I sometimes daydream about this. And nearly always it would be about what I could do for loved ones & others, yeah sure I'd enjoy it, but the thrill of been able to help others is what I'd love. IMO that's where the true joy of such luck would be..
I'd take care of loved ones first in terms of cars, mortgages & lump sum gifts before treating myself.

No such rule as regards inheritances...

Strumms

I’d buy a house with a nice but not too much bit of land, furnish it, etc...

I’d order me a Mercedes AMG roadster, always had that car in mind.

I’d spend a couple of days doing a list of how much to give friends/family.

I’d spend a couple of days doing a list of what charities to help.

I’d go house hunting for a house or apartment in the south of France.

Once I’d have accomplished all that, I’d get about enjoying life, still doing good where and when I can.

SmartinMartin

I'd do the stations in our house.

Millionaire only not

Nice idea, but asking for trouble

Glenomra

Put together a really good library of Irish interest books and continue on with everything else as normal. I currently have enough income for a modest but interesting lifestyle but not enough to buy the rare books I would like to have.

Randy Archer

Be careful about helping out family as there can be tax implications for them. You to child and wife , CAT issues won’t be there. You to parent and to adult sibling there may be some liability to tax so ya need a smart tax consultant to reduce the tax

Me

Clear out all the debt of the mother. She isn’t materialistic so won’t go mad on getting her a few luxuries thereafter

Siblings, give them a few Bob in instalments that won’t kill them in tax liabilities or get noticed . Set up education funds for their current kids

Then, buy a manor with land , along a lake , invest in guns . Perhaps relocate to a Switzerland and get property there

Waste some on drugs and hookers. No marriages without pre nup being lawfully recognised here. Don’t tell the partner, maybe even end that relationship lol

Tell know one but don’t hid it either - won’t be flash anyway

Work ? Not sure, need to keep doing something .. Don’t go too crazy with expenses and investments .

Onshuh

Retire.

valoren

Invest it and live off the dividends.

The first thing I would do is nothing. After that, probably clear the mortgage.

Strumms

One thing I’d do, I’d tell not a soul apart from my parents and girlfriend .... not my friends, relations or the labradoodle next door how much I’d won, where it was got...

“ look I’ve had a bit of luck with an investment, here you go “ here is xxxxx amount...”

It’s not that you’ll loose the will to do good work but every other week having your phone going off... “ ohhh Strumms, my neighbor Danny was just telling me about xyz charity “...

That’s just going to turn life into a bore fest. And if you’d say ‘no, enough’ at any point, either because the cash pile is dwindling a bit or your just sick of being put upon for cash you’ll be the worst in the world.

Burn it

MaryLouMacari

I'd give away my Dunnes Stores €10 off vouchers.

Build a real life Batmobile.. or have one built for me.

ShatterAlan

Move into a suite in the Westbury for a week and go on a bender, pub crawl around Stephen's Green and the residents bar, room service etc. While I'm nursing my hangover I'd be looking online for apartments in London and Amsterdam. Would quit my job first day. I wouldn't need do to much to hide myself as I've moved from city to city quite often so nobody would suspect anything. My brother, I would tell be he wouldn't tell a soul. I'd have a flash apartment in Dublin, London and Amsterdam and just swan around between the 3 of them.
My diet is currently a bit crap so I would definitely spend a month eating in nice restaurants getting lots of good food to sort me out.


There's a bunch of stuff I'd want to do. Travel 1st Class to New York on an ocean liner and fly back 1st class. Wouldn't spend too long in New York, used to live there and now can't be arsed with the place. It doesn't have much for me except diners and deli's which I really like. Seen all the sights so I'd be taking the QE2 to get a hot pastrami sandwich :pac:.

Id do nothing. I'd put a moratorium of 3 months on it. Just leave it sit and work out what kind of life I want.

I'd work out where I want to live. Then I'd work out what kind of life I want to live. Then I'd work out how to share with a few family and friends ( I wouldn't want people to know I've won the money). I'd set up an education fund for anyone in the extended family who wants to go to uni or do an apprenticeship or retrain.

I'd still be careful with my money no matter howuch I had. Using things and going places and having experiences might make you happy, but spunking money around definitely won't make you happy.

But first of all, I'd do nothing.
