    FFS nobody wants to know me now, what would spark a sudden interest in a rich stranger?

    Friends come and go but enemies accumulate.

    Deflation ! If you got 16m I'd say you'd be ok pretty much everywhere. I can understand why people would leave. Personally Id stay here and give the money to keep Anglo afloat. :D

    16m keep anglo afloat? It might pay for their lunches for a week...

    Nobody needs to know about the 16 Million.

    It will cost you all your friendships in the end. People say they wouldnt ask for money but they will.

    Now you said it but winning that kind of money only brings you more problems than you need...

    I'd love it. Worry about the problems when they occur.

    Anyone winning 16 milion would be wise to keep their mouth shut. Not because of their friends, but because people have been kidnapped for a lot less. Nasty, but true.

    Now, how to go about makng all those anonymous gifts whem I find myself 16 million richer tonight......:p:D

    Reckon I would leave my buddy to it - They probably would be too busy to maintain the normal friendship we used to have anyway - I know I would. Would still try to keep in touch but I wouldn't be asking for the odd few thousand or anything silly like that.

    Of course, I wouldn't say no if offered a modest sum! :pac:

    The lad i bought it off is sound and the housemates know him fairly well cause they've been here for ages.. I'd probably get him a three wolf moon tshirt.

    Knew a fellow who broke up with his woman of several years after she won a few million. He said she turned into a bitch almost overnight and he had to choose between staying with someone he had grown to despise (and living well) or leaving.

    All the clips of old biddys being stopped on the street that were played on the radio stations today...
    'ah tis too much money'
    'shur you wouldnt know what to do with it '
    'Wouldnt let it change me' etc etc
    One of them bitterly muttered something like 'you can be damn sure all that money wouldnt bring you happiness'

    Hope to fcuk none of them won it:mad:

    Yah I heard those clips of them interviewing the people - from Cork was it? One said €16m was far too much, a quarter of it is enough. I don't think they'd be saying that if they won the €16m! lol

    So has it been announced yet if anybody won it tonight?

    Edit: It's up on aertel - there was one winner of tonight's lotto :(:(:(:(:( There goes the hope of winning it on sat lol

    If I won €16 million my friends would probably expect some money.....










    ...I could always buy some new friends!
