Misleading thread title is misleading.

Honda NSX R and move to Northern Spain. The green bit.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

I can't believe that in all the years that boards.ie has been in existance, nobody has ever posted a "how would you spend the lotto?" thread.

That's why I come here; fresh and original thought.

(I'd hand in my months notice and then make sure my boss and co-workers knew I had won. I wouldn't go anywhere in the building unless skipping joyously. I would end every sentence with "but then again I don't really care as I've won the lotto")

San Sebastian and Bilbao are beautiful and have lovely beaches but for me, Pamplona is the best city in the region!

I'd carefully consider the amount I'd give to my siblings. Some such as my sister deserve more than my brothers.
I'd look at my parents needs and judge how much they'd need/want.
I'd pay off the mortages for my friends if they would like that.
We'd do the same for the girlfriends family/close friends.

We'd pay off the mortage for the apartment in Poland, then we'd look at buying a modest house here. We'd also look at starting a business there or in Ireland. A bit of travel at some point would be nice.

Once friends and family have been looked after I'd consider how I could benefit the local community.

I think to work it out its 42!/36!~=3.8billion possible combinations, so then 3.8billion x €1.50 = €5.7billion you'd have to spend to guarntee winning jackpot

Find a nice deserted beach somewhere, build a small house there and then live off the interest in peace and quiet.

After that I'd probably also buy borads.ie from whoever already bought it and do whatever it took to make it the most popular chat site in Ireland.

With €10m you'd do that? Just do it now, live the dream!
I'd go to Ducati Dublin, get about 5 bikes. Probably be dead by the weekend

Some years ago a few of us in work are discussing what we'd do if we won the lotto. One of the lads (very thick) says that he'd stick his hand into one of the pressing machines. When we asked him why he's do something like that he said "I'd go to the boss and say look my hand is fcuked but I don't need to claim because I've won the lotto!"
