    Fly straight to Vegas.

    Hire 6 or 7 top quality porn stars, lap dancers and hookers,

    I'd do the orgies, gang bangs, threesomes and all the other filth that I havent done yet.

    I'd shag to the point of exhaustion then go on a gambling binge for a few days

    So after the first three minutes you'd be gambling?

    Fcuk Putin. Glory to Ukraine!

    Maybe while I'm there, treat myself to a swish suit from their Autograph range

    Book a weekend in the finest B&B in Killarney and then finish the day by buying one round for the house in my local......


    Ah, dreams.........

    Sure youd only be having a nap after the first load.

    Give it to Maggie Cash.....

    She needs a 4eva home....

    I remember seeing a post by a woman on Facebook saying she'd buy an area of landed on the outskirts of Dublin and build several houses for the homeless families and charge them no rent.
    I was thinking how would she feel when she'd be getting complaints about the houses from the tenants and the damage that might be caused.

    If the money spent on charities was actually given to people who had a genuine need, there'd be few issues.

    Homeless "charities" are a classic example

    €40+ MILLION was spent on staff costs in eight homeless charities in just Dublin in 2017!
    I was thinking more along the lines The Galway Hospice, Madra, GSPCA, funding for kids who need to go to America for treatment etc. Genuine situations where I could help. There are plenty of charities out there that actually spend the money they receive on making a difference. I'd do my research ;)

    I'd put a life expectancy of about 5 yrs on me.

    I'd go crazy with it. Don't have any willpower or self control.

    Myself, my kids, my family and close friends would never want for a thing for the rest of their lives. All of their mortgages and loans paid off and a few bob to enjoy themselves afterwards.

    A lot of people would be over the moon to just be able to keep all of their wages without having to pay rent/mortgage/loan repayments.

    That's because funnily enough, simply throwing money at problems to make them go away works, but you don't get any real sense of reward from doing so. That builds up over time....
    Why buy a brand new top of the range Merc to cart yourself around when you could buy a W124, restore it and cart yourself around in that instead? The fact that you wouldn't have been able to restore a W124 from the ground up, at your leisure, without that euro millions ticket is actually outweighed by the time abd effort spent on the car every time you sit into it.

    Why buy a brand new mansion, when you could get one you like built to your preference, or buy an older one and work on it? Same time/effort/reward rules apply.

    Money does buy you happiness, it is your health but you have to make it be those things, she just figured she could think of something she wanted and buy it instantly.

    The need for instant gratification and money di not mix. At all. I reckon I'd have a lot of fun proving that.
    Oh, and a house FULL of old bangers running like day one.
    Oh and a Tatra 813, converted to a camper....

    I'd love to say I'd give most of it away to charity like some folk on here, but in reality, I'd likely just buy as much of my county as possible.

    Quoth Tolstoy, How much land can one man need? Quoth any farmer, never enough.

    I'd buy a new house, nothing crazy but a bit posher, maybe a holiday home somewhere nice as well. I'd do the obvious in regards to family and some select friends. Other than that I'd like to think I'd retire and go travelling a lot and just enjoy a peaceful life.
