Should they do away with all millionaire lotterys? ?? It only gives the desperate (like me) false hope

*im sure it contributes to gambling addiction

You can pay €10 into the cinema and be entertained for a few hours. You can do a line of the Euromillions €2.5 and daydream all week about what your gonna do with it. Values in doing the lotto for entertainment

It's the Rogers and Whearty families from naul/bellewstown to be precise. Nice family. One of the lads wives divorced him last year. I'd say she's sick.

Oh the shame, not even proper Irish with foreign sounding names like those.

I'm hearing the winner is from Drumcondra. Former public servant, has asked for the whole amount in cash, sterling and dollar denominations, as he has no bank account.

I hear he is hiding in the cupboard till it blows over.

I'd like to be a feared multi millionaire. That way you could occasionally laugh maniacally in the media to let every know you have the power and money to keep an eye on them.

But how would you feel about having to re-locate to Malta?

Id be pissed if I was the person in front of whoever bought the ticket but let them skip a head cause you had to go back and get something ha

Not a chance of staying anonymous in a small town and posts on FB like that.

If won 175 million I wouldn't burden any family or friends with cash gifts.

It could only cause them hassle with tax.

Instead I'd treat everybody to a nice lamb lunch.

ongarboy · 20-02-2019 05:56PM

Still wouldn't be enough to build even a single ward in the new Children's Hospital...

Was just thinking so this morning.

Most of us have been trying to grapple with what an enormous amount of money it would be - yet shrug our shoulders at an overspend on the National Children's Hospital, which is multiples of that amount.

You'd have to win this Euromillions jackpot three times over to pay for the overspend on the hospital, and it probably won't stop at that.

As far as I know, so long as you write down names on the back of the ticket you can decide how to distribute the money - tax free.

You have to laugh though, apparently, the family syndicate are all retired and say they don't want the win to change their lives! Why do the feckin thing then?

Signore Fancy Pants · 20-02-2019 08:42PM

Are any of the sisters single?

How long do I have to rub their feet to get half?

Damn I might try begging some money off them, they wouldn't miss a few hundred grand.

How many people did the lotto tonight after the win last night ? When it's a big amount I'll do it myself online and do both euromillions and lotto for the Tuesday and Wednesday of that week.

is the euromillions draw broadcast on live on TV?

Good luck to the winners but I just don't want to know

Good question. I don't know if it is. If it is I've never seen it on tv.

If people stop posting in this thread it won't be the latest post on the home page. I don't think there is a way to block seeing threads but I'm sure a mod could tell you for definite.

That bugs me too.

If I win the lottery and someone asks me an inane question like “will it change your life” I’ll look at them scornfully for a full 3 seconds and then say that: “Of course it will, you plonker. It’s 20 odd million. Do you think I’m taking the dart to connnolly tomorrow. You quarterwit”.

(Except I wouldn’t tell anybody. Haha.)

How can winning that much combined not change a families life ? They might hope it doesn't but it will have to.
