    If you Won the lottery tomorrow?


    For me it is a big ass bathroom with a big ass T.V and a great sound system in it. Then I could just relax in a nice warm jacuzzi bath while watching T.V and getting pampered :)


    It was supposed to be one thing people one thing.


    Anyone seen as some people have added more than here is my more than one if I was a billionaire I would have my own race track.

    Yes I would have a swimming pool and some one too look after it for me.

    I would have a room for modelling in and no its not the sort or modelling you are thinking about. Its for making and displaying models in.

    I would have a big room full of all my books and magazines and newspapers that I have collected over the years.

    I would have a room full of lego of every type to make lego in.

    I would have a huge walk in closet for all my shoes and clothes.

    I would have two ovens in the kitchen and a chef to cook for me when I did not feel like cooking.


    I would have two rooms just especially for my dogs and they would be able to go in and out of the house without me having to get off my arse and would have anything they want.

    I would have the biggest cinema screen it is possible to get in my own home cinema with a mega sound system and lastly I would have my own gym right beside the swimming pool.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Is this the kind of of toilet seat you’d need in a “big ass bathroom”?




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,198 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    if it would just be one.. a Jacuzzi.

    but if money was no object..id also have…

    a mini arcade, bowling alley, pool table ( I’m working on that )

    An escalator to get up the stairs and a slide to get down

    A jacuzzi would be really nice. I'd also have my own little bar with a good stock of World beers and an excellent selection of expensive whiskeys.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,408 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    I'm gonna go a step beyond jacuzzi and say a full spa. Hot tub, sauna and steam room, the full package

    Other than that, a games room with a pool table and big TV for console gaming and some recliner armchairs. Plus a fridge to store the drinks 😁

    Oh, and the fully equipped workshop with woodworking tools. I can't do any woodworking and would probably never finish any project I start, but still gotta have a workshop 😂

    A steam room.

    And someone to harvest and deliver seaweed and seawater for a seaweed bath at least twice a week.

    I am convinced that the combination of those two things is the cure for nearly all, if not all, ills in this world.

    A big botanical gardens style greenhouse with a load of tropical rainforest plants and a walkway at canopy level where I could chill and have my morning coffee (flanked by another greenhouse where I could experiment with hybrids of chilli varieties and grow all of my veg and…other things)

    a room that you can only enter via fireman pole in the centre and when you slide in the entire room is just an enormous bed, with an equally enormous duvet that you can tunnel around in

    hundreds of hectares of native Irish broadleaf forest

    a vineyard

    a water slide (and yes I’ve had this daydream years before the Lotto ads stole it)

    a very large and dangerously deep ball bit

    a temperature and humidity controlled room with an adjoining smoker for my own cured meats and charcuterie

    a wood panelled library with a big fireplace and armchairs with many leather bound books and rich mahogany

    a freshwater pond

    an aquarium room for my collection of tropical fish, plants and amphibians

    an astronomy tower 🔭

    a life sized scalextrics track (doubles as a normal racetrack)

    an aga

    I'd love a big craft room/outhouse with a potters wheel and furnace and space for every other type of craft.

    A big greenhouse where I can massacre plants.

    A pool/steamroom/spa set up.

    A library snug with big comfy chairs.

    Whoever mentioned the full spa fitout - sauna, steam room, gym etc - i'm with you on this. And the personal trainer to put me through my paces in the gym each day. Move over Victoria Beckham! 👊

    Too small a surface area, you need something for that initial onslaught, Plus who wants to piss on tippy toes.

    A holodeck.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,138 ✭✭✭Gregor Samsa


    I'd install a panic room.

    Not a secure room to hide in during a home invasion. A room for my wife to go to and panic in peace when she can't find her glasses (they're on her head), can't find the car keys ("Did you check the fridge?"), or is calling me on her phone demanding "I need you to help me find my phone!!!".

    If adding an extra room counts it would have to be Jay Leno's garage.

    Some people have very pedestrian ideas about what constitutes "unusual".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,513 ✭✭✭Ray Palmer


    It is funny people saying a jacuzzi and steam room stuff. I know people who have and got these things. The don't use them within a year generally. They aren't a selling feature on your house and actually devalue the property. If you really want one you can pick up a second hand one much cheaper.

    I would love a swimming pool but they are so much hassle I really don't want one. Lived in the USA for a bit and lived in a house with one. Even with a pool boy to maintain them they are hassle.

    There are a few things I always wanted in my home such as a hidden book case door, spiral stairs, basement, murphy bed etc... I am slowly doing it but I doubt I will have a basement in my home but do own a property with a basement.

    A studio room with full sound treatment, set up for Dolby Atmos 7.2.4 playback. Maybe get set up to do recording and mixing in that format too.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Not crazy unusual, but one of these baths would be really nice

    I can't decide whether I'd go for the normal shape or the circular one, they start from 30k so I'd need a lottery win to justify it.

    A soundproofed basement room as a music/game room. I haven't listened to metal at a proper volume in years. Headphones are just not the same experience as powerful large speakers.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,408 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    That'll be a fun one for the guests 😂
