You win the lotto - First 3 things you would buy?

ando · 08-01-2003 2:35pm #1

I would :

1) Buy a Ford Focus RS !!!! Oh baby yea
2) Buy a Racecar and start racing in mondello at the weekends (and give up my current job !!!!!!!!!!!

)
3) Get a superfast new PC and a 2MB Leased line from eir€om !

Sangre · 08-01-2003 3:13pm

Thats actually the funniest thing I've seen here in a while....

Btw if you want a 2mb line from Eircom, I'd think you'd need more then just one lotto but thats a issue for Ireland off-line

lol it would probably be capped :rolleyes:

besides you can get a 10mbit connection in sweden for like $25 per month..

personally i would buy a place in the carribean, i would sit on the beach bar for the best part of the day drinking pina colada's while being surrounded by scantily clothed women..

"p.s this is humour board, isnt this more suited to the after hours board?"

"pps although i did find getting a 2meg leased line from eircom pretty damn funny :rolleyes:"

Screw that scantily clad nonsence. Nothing like dressing the way we came into the world. BOLLOX NAKED

Shiminay · 08-01-2003 4:26pm

This doesn't really belong on Humour, so off to After Hours with you...

I'd be considering buying a Focus RS too actually...

Big Chief · 08-01-2003 5:01pm

ballooba · 08-01-2003 5:25pm

1) Buy Limerick and turn it into a wildlife reserve (JOKE!).

no seriously.

I'd buy a house in Dublin and probably have enough left over for a bag of peanuts and a pint.

DMC · 08-01-2003 5:27pm

I'd go for Ford Focus RS too! I'd also pay off members of my family's mortages. And then off to Australia and New Zealand for a year. In both places!!

I have a copy of "You can take this job and shove it!" ready and primed on my PC for that fine and fateful day.

Barry Aldwell · 08-01-2003 7:42pm

Well my parents actually won the lotto, and the first unusual (i.e. things we wouldn't normally buy) things we bought (I'm 15, so my hanging on is justified) was a car (Hyundai Terracan) the PC I'm typing this on and we're planning many extensions to our house.

Ryo Hazuki · 08-01-2003 9:53pm

1. THe Words Ultimate PC. Price Is No Barrier.

Caesar_Bojangle · 08-01-2003 9:56pm

A House like bill gates
A Strip club like Bada Bing (the sopranos)
Decent clothes to make me slightly sexually attractive to women

Seraphina · 08-01-2003 10:13pm

you know people its the lottery we're talking about, not umlimited money. the lotto is max about 3 million yoyo's. it hasn't gone over that in a while has it?
i wouldn't know i never play it... so i'd never win it in the first place!

sceptre · 08-01-2003 10:17pm

1. Jaguar S Type-R (and whatever herself fancies)
2. Plane tickets for me and me mates to somewhere sunny (or somewhere cold and cool)
3. Full page advert in the Times telling Eircom to go fuck themselves

(sideways elevators sound nice though, Willy Wonka eat your heart out)

(oddly enough I bought a lotto ticket today - must be the first time in over a year, usually I've better things to do with the €300ish a year stupid peoples tax in my back pocket instead)

Kali · 08-01-2003 10:21pm

A Ferrari 250 GT California... and if I had any change a packet of M&Ms.

Caesar_Bojangle · 08-01-2003 10:22pm

Seraphina, i am going to invest it in a new company called CEZarTron which the shares will conveniently sky rocket resulting in the sole shareholder *me* becoming very rich enabling me to buy the aforementioned and possibly you as my wife or as that semi fit singer would say "i'm not that kind of girl".

[CALIBUR] · 08-01-2003 10:23pm

If that happed to me my mouth well hit the floor and then after that I go nuts with my friends in a pub. when my hangover is gone ill start buying.

1. buying P.C parts to make a SUPER MEGA PC.

2. buy 3 houses in 3 hot countrys

3. buy dodge viper r10.

4. get myself broadband

It was €4 million tonight.... and it wasn't won!

€5 Million on Saturday!! Now thats a life changing sum of money!

And every one here haven't exactly broke their fortune either with what they want to do!

Caesar_Bojangle · 08-01-2003 10:30pm

Realistically thinking about it, i wouldnt tell one person i won it. I'd carry on with my normal life for a few months to a year then disappear, possibly telling people i'm emigrating to work or just vanish outright and start a new life minus begrudgers and hangerons i'd inherit, just like my friends aunt who won it she received something like 100 letters asking for money and she only won a million *i know a million is a lot*.

Seraphina · 08-01-2003 10:41pm

well i was more referring to caeser who said he wanted to buy a stripclub, which would be a fairly hefty price im assuming... 5 million is a pretty life changing amount tho... time to buy a lottery ticket maybe? methinks yes...

byte · 08-01-2003 11:07pm

Dodge Viper R10
Mini Cooper for some fun
VW Beetle for herself

3. An upper-middle class car disguising that I'm a millionaire. (Saab probably)

In America, there's been lottery drawings of 300 million and more, cuz the odds are ridiculous and no one ever wins the jackpot.

STaN · 09-01-2003 3:14am

a savage PC, best spec available with a triple 21" flat screen desktop and surround sound.

a house for myself

get get the new saab 93 2.0t

po0k · 09-01-2003 4:11am

A scratch card - my lucky day afterall, might aswell make the most of it.
Send the mother on a trip somewhere for a bit. Achill. Or that "yoreop" place.
Prize bonds - a shít load of em
a nice comforatble reliable nippy car. Nothing too flash/uperclass. Then mod it subtley with a good soundsystem.
Insurance for the car.
British Chieftan Main Battle Tank - £30,000 + as many spare parts as I can muster and the manual.
Quickstart guide for the tank.
A biomass conversion kit for the tank.
A good few acres of rugged terrain and natural obstacles. For the tank.
Road tax for the tank.
"A few CDs/DVD-As."
The DAT master tapes for a few of my favourite albums
Another pair of Ecco shoes.
A pliers and directions to Louis Walsh's house, but that's in the works anyways.....

But tbh, when you think about it, winning the lotto before you reach middle age is not something I'd like to happen to me.
Too much, too soon tbh.
If I won it at 22 I'd have it spent by the time i'm 24 tbh.

Ok I can nearly agree with this.

I'd just buy a pub with Guinness on tap only and a supply of peants to go with them. Then a pool table to go with the pub.

Make sure I buy it in the middle of nowhere and charge a nice price for all them farmers.(ok might have other drinks for sale all alcoholic though)

Thorbar · 09-01-2003 10:56am

Sex, drugs and rock n' roll.

Pugsley · 09-01-2003 10:56am

PH01 · 09-01-2003 1:04pm

Add a euro to it and then pay off my debts

But if I didn't have any debts and I won the €8m on Saturday I would...

1. Spend €5m on investments - stocks and shares, commodities, and property - give up the day job and manage them myself.
2. Pay off my familys debts - to a maximum of €1m
3. Give €1m to charity

...then there is €1m spending money.

stevoslice · 09-01-2003 3:48pm

1. Sega Master System
2. Atari Jaguar
3. Commodore 64

09-01-2003 7:14pm

1) All tickets for the next draw.
2) All tickets for the draw after that.
3) All tickets for the draw after the next draw.

po0k · 09-01-2003 7:39pm

the only problem with that is you'd need more then the origional jackpot to buy all the possible combinations, and what's to stop other people buying tickets?
And after the jackpot is won it's down to fúck all again- minimum of €1million isn't it?

richindub2 · 09-01-2003 7:52pm

First thing id do would be to arrange a rather different trip to school for the next morning;

The street would be closed off by garda - then my black, presidential helicopter would land in the middle of it and id hop out (with my bag being carried for me by black suited secret service types). Id walk into class and say 'sorry im late, we had trouble getting clearance to take off' then sit down while everyone stared at me.

apart from that i suppose id just continue life as normal, go to college etc...but with a few small extra things like maybe a jag for myself

strat · 09-01-2003 8:01pm

buy eircom and continue to flease the irish public for years to come MUAHAHHAHAHAHAH
