    Eileen Dunne just broke the story on the RTÉ 9 O'Clock News.

    What would you do with €49.5 million during a coronavirus pandemic?

    The “missing” €500k would bug the **** out of me when I checked my bank balance so I’d either have to get a loan or give it all away.

    Take out an injunction against RTE to refrain from airing my business.

    You could buy gold and then you'd have that 500k in a short time. Or hold on to it for the same amount big time, in fiat currency, and you'd get it rounded down (effectively, but not notionally, which is your desire).

    The smaller prizes are disgraceful.

    Agreed, I had a match 3 in the plus which was 20 euro but 4 numbers was 2000 :O

    Maybe increase the prizes for 3 to 300 or 500

    My dad hasn't checked his ticket yet so I'm going to allow myself 20 minutes of believing we are now millionaires.

    Why not come up with a draw where 100 people win 250k rather than one person/family winning 50 million, its crazy that one person can win that sort of dosh in one go

    There'll be no problem for the winner to quarantine in luxury anyway.

    I also hope it is a syndicate or family group. It is a huge amount of dosh all the same.

    It guarantees that unless you do something daft with it, or a big chunk of it, that for the rest of your time on this earth, you will never need for a single thing again. You can wake up safe in the knowledge that you never need to work, never need to borrow, you can afford houses, apartments, cars for the rest of your life.. every luxury, dream, enjoyment, is yours.

    I use the pick3 aka 'hotpick' method of Euromills, won twice last year (1,500, for just 3 matches) per small coinage. This year's objective is 4 matching main balls to deliver 30k. Once in a blue moon attempt 5 main balls for a steadfast 1m.

    Very rarely do the full ticket, as price & odds are unpleasent 139,838,160/1. Maybe only for the rare super-duper sized rolldown, or as part of large syndicate when the LOLN-numbers and star duo are deemed favourable. Or, When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars.

    I've received two emails with two ticket numbers even though I only bought one ticket via the app.

    Website and app still crashing to check if it's €3 I've won lol

    Have had a ****ty day ... Been coughed at by a guy outside the courts, had my car broken into and wallet stolen (I use one for clubcards and vouchers and other for credit and debit cards... They got the clubcards and vouchers one)

    I bought a lotto and euromillions on Sunday ... They were in the car, I haven't checked if they are still there, for now.... I'm hoping there's a massive amount of good luck coming my way....it's overdue !!

    It would be fantastic that car was broken into and the feckers missed a 50million euro ticket !!

    Hope it’s not any of the syndicates in my work! They never won anything when I was in them.

    Some boss is getting a “**** you” email in the morning.

    I hope it’s not one of these people who win and say “Ah, it won’t change me. I’ll be going in to work as normal”

    What’s the bloody point in playing?! Money should be taken back from those guys.

    Would the news outlets still say "ticket sold in Ireland" if the ticket was bought online?

    Stupid father won't check his email :(

    Also what may become know now as an 'Amber Hurd', perhaps located in the 2nd drawer of the desk, with the access key snapped off. Thus resulting in desk getting flung out of nearby window with rage, when the email arrives with 3 day send delay.
