Euromillions again.

Ruin your life if you win? Are you joking me? It would infinitely make my life better if I had that much money.

Also, thanks for confirming I didn't win it tonight...

If u win you still only have 0.1% of what Jeff Bezos has

I do the same numbers twice, at least if there's any other winners you will get 2/3s. Imagine winning €190m and find out another person has won, don't think I could handle losing €95 million that quick.

I wouldn't see it as losing €95m, I'd look on it as winning a **** load of money!

I would love it if I won. Yes it could create some problems if people knew but hey , 179 million!!!

I laugh at people who waste a fortune on it. Must have the IQ of a goldfish or been dropped on their heads a few times.

What's a fortune on it? Once a week, twice a week, €20 per ticket? I think that yes, the odds are really small, but if you just win it once, you should never have to do it again. If you did 2 lines with the plus on the Irish and Euro lotto once a week, it costs about €700. That €700 could surely be spent elsewhere, but is also a small amount for the chance to win multiples upon multiples of that. I think its worth it, especially as I used to spend easily waaaaaay more than that on drink in a year. Sometimes in a week!

There's got to be a good value 1001/1 bet that you could lay all that on though? Then tell Bezos to kiss your ass.
Got to go large when you win the mega jackpots.

No winner 01 Dec €179 million jackpot. I think I might get a ticket for Friday. I know, I know it will ruin my life if I win, too much for one person, they should split into smaller prizes, the bookies are giving better odds. Still I think it might be worth a go.

The jackpot will be split soon,possibly on Friday.If,you feel e179 mill is too much plz pm me and I can give you my bank details.

So this new 200 million number for tonight is new because it’s always been 180 and if that then rolls over the jackpot I think lasts for a few draws and it’s split. I wonder why the higher number.

he has so much money he could buy a NEW buggatti Veyron each day, drive it till it ran out of fuel and just get into a new one, and he would still increase in wealth.

Have you accounted for the cost of the taxis to get him from wherever he runs out of fuel to the nearest bugatti showroom?


Jesus i'd love to win 200m. I just don't buy into the whole it will ruin your life spiel, if you find it's ruining your life there's nothing stopping you giving it away. I'd give most of it away anyway - i reckon i could struggle through life just fine with only 20m in the bank, actually make that 30 just in case:D

Classic Bill Gates one is that if he drops 100 dollars from his pocket it's not worth his time to pick it up as he earns 114 dollars per second.

That was when he was worth 72 billion, he's worth more now.

do wealthy people truly 'earn' their money?

you ll find most wealth is in the form of assets, i own assets, ive worked hard to be able to buy them, i havent worked hard in watching them grow in value, i suspect most wealthy individuals have worked even less than me in regards watching the value of their assets grow. the hardest amount of work ive done in watching the value of my assets grow, is turning on some sort of computerized device to view their value, i suspect wealthy individuals get others to do it for them

Bill Gates didn't buy Microsoft then sit back and watch it grow. Jeff Bezos didn't buy Amazon then sit back and watch it grow. It's not the same as the property or shares you bought or whatever you might be referring to. They built something from nothing, got market share and hired employees off their own back, before eventually getting as big as they are. You don't do that without being exceptionally talented and hard working, in addition to being lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.

By all means, there is plenty governments could and should be doing to encourage more equality and tax people in these positions. But it would be a lie to say they did nothing to earn it.
