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

Stupid father won't check his email

You can't use the app outside Ireland, at this point it could be an app ticket, once they release the location of the shop that sold it they will say if it is the app or not.

Thanks, we're in Ireland, just wondering if they know you're in Ireland yet bought online, if you know what I mean! I'm sure they do though! (the Euromillions gods that is)

I'm hoping my sister did it cos I didn't and she simply hasn't heard the news as she was watching another channel and has now gone to bed quite oblivious to the fact she is a multi-millionaire.

I didn't win it,but if I had then I would send all you lovely people postcards from some island in the Pacific.

You can remain anonymous ... The only people who would know your wealth is you, your bank manager and financial advisor.

If I do find a ticket in my car ...and it won, I will not be going public with it.

Sorry about that · 21-07-2020 11:37PM

I went into a local SuperValu this evening, with 7 minutes till closing, got the couple of things I needed and walked (in what felt like slow motion), up to the girl at the customer service till, taking the euro millions ticket out of my purse, like Charlie, opening a wonka bar.

I handed her the groceries (two tubs of stork), and asked her if she'd mind checking the ticket for me, because "I think it was won in Ireland haha". She went (slow motion) over to the machine, and checked it, looked up briefly, and said, "yes, you've won (my legs went to jelly) €5" (legs went back to normal).

For 45mill, I’d be scanning f*** all.
I’d check them the old fashioned way.

Would that not be better left in the turd drawer?

What kind of interest would you earn on that when you deposit it ?

More than you could spend in a day without going mad

I wouldn't be so sure, just depositing it, in a negative rate environment.
But if you got even 5% fixed return on investment, you'd be made up.

If you won a million, eg Daily Millions, and invested and got a guaranteed 4%, which is 40k net per annum, you'd be on more net than most people are. And have 50+ hours back to live life, sweet life.
45m is insane for the average Joe. Stuff is stuff. Time can't be bought back.

If I WON I'd help so many people

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.

You will spend all your remaining time worried about dying early.

I suffer from insomnia....or something very close as in I take ages to get to sleep and then am only out for two/three hours a night.

Anyway, I get myself to sleep by planning how I'd spend a lotto win - anything from a basic €2m to a mega euromillions win. Whatever sort of win I'd be comfortable for life and family/friends would be happy.

By now it's a routine, almost a meditation and it works to a point. But if I did win big, what would I do?

And yes, I know that even winning €6 like I did tonight, the odds are astronomical of winning anything decent.

I doubt theres any bank paying 4% you would be lucky to get 1% anywhere and you would have to leave it there for a year before you could get the interest

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 !!

Lotto and euromillions tickets were still in car... Didn't win !! There's hope for tonight's lotto.

That 4% return, which is sensibly conservative, would come from investments in the likes of property or stocks. You're right in saying no bank would currently pay 4% interest over savings.

If you go public all the banks ring you and plead with you to lodge your winnings with them

I would enjoy that

littlemiss023 · 22-07-2020 10:09AM

love playing the "what would I do if I won the lotto" game. Im in a work syndicate of 27 people so that would work out to be 1.83 million each! What a decent amount!!! Fingers crossed!!

Not now, they wouldn't.

Banks don't want your money now. It costs them to hold it.

Negative interest rates would apply on that sort of amount, you would be charged to have the balance sitting there.
