    Give 20% of the winnings to my folks.

    Pay a group of 150 people to vigorously clap & cheer as i break dance on the street every single day until the money runs out.

    or

    Fullfill my dream of setting up a breakdancing school specifically for overweight people. I would call it Yo Chubby got Moves.

    I think a holiday of at least a month would be required with maybe a couple of grand spending cash. The winnings would have to be put in a place where they cant be touched for the duration of the holiday so plenty of thought could be given to how it would be spent or invested

    Well now how much is the lottery, because if it is less than 100 Million forget about it if you want to live the life per example:

    Dublin Penthouse: 2 Million.
    Weekend Cottage: 1/2 Million.
    New York Loft: 5 Million
    Hamptons Summer Home: 8 Million
    Aspen Ski home: 5 Million
    Vegas Pad: 2 Million
    Yacht: 5 Million
    3 cars: 1/2 Million

    And then you have to maintain all these homes plus have to pay staff and it doesn't long be adding up to 2 million per year just to maintain the lifestlye, im telling ye its not all easy once you win big money.

    It would be easier if you didn't spend ridiculous money on houses around the world. What would be the point in that? Maybe get a holiday home somewhere in the sun, but hotels would do when visiting other places

    I'd buy my mum a ski chalet somewhere so she would stop giving out about never getting to go on holidays anywhere.

    I'd have a massive party somewhere and pay for all my friends to arrive by helicopter, limos etc. :D

    I'd go to Vegas and rent a suite in Caeser's or the Bellagio just to live the high life for a couple of days.

    I'd buy myself a car and get driving lessons (finally). Actually I'd buy two cars, a nice one for going into town in and another one for Sunday driving.

    Then I'd buy/build myself a house somewhere. I would probably finish out my degree and work for a few years so that if it did all go belly up, as least I would actually be qualified to work.

    And not forgetting a massive shopping spree in Chanel, Mulberry, Marc Jacobs... the list goes on. And if any shop assistants gave me any snotty looks, I would pay to have them removed from the shop.

    I'm going mad with power already...

    I'd buy a nice house in some forest in the US.

    I'd buy a massive over-powered classic muscle car that does 6mpg.

    I'd have an extension built onto the above house filled with classic and rare guitars and amps.

    Give some to family and charity then invest the rest, and retire at the age of 20.

    Buy a small distillery in Scotland, a small brewery in Belgium and an Indian restaurant in Dublin, and hire a Vietnamese tailor full-time. That way even if the money disappears I'll still have whisky, beer, good food and bespoke clothes.

    And hand every women's shelter in the country a copy of the Argos catalogue for the kids' Christmas presents and take care of the bill.

    I love when people give 'donate to charity' as an answer.

    Such obv bullsh1t.

    Throwing the whole handfull of pocket change into the bucket rather than filtering out the copper is about as close to 'donating to charity' as they'll get.

    I'd buy Messi for Celtic.

    Seriously though, I'd take 20-30 of my mates on holiday for a month to Barbados. And if their employers don't give them the time off, I'll pay their wages until they get a new job!

    Depends on the size of the win.

    There is a large difference in 6 mil and 60 mil

    There's f_all different between 6 mil and 60 mil in terms of what you'll ever need in life.

    600,000 would do me to have me set up for life regardless of what Clown & Co impose on us.

    I'd give substantial amount to charity. Euromillions I'd set up some kind of drop in center for the homeless. Not sure a million would get me that but maybe......

    Tonights lotto:
    Give money to charity as above, at least 1 million. Buy my mam and dad, mam and dad in law, new houses, give my sister, sisters and brother in law a big chunk towards new houses. And buy myself a nice big house (4 bed detached would do me fine) and a new car. Have a nice long holiday :)

    Help all of my friends out with a few bob to take the pressure off.
