I know it's been done to death at this stage here in AH, but the Euromillions is approaching 200 million. An individual winner could potentially wipe their hole with €500 notes for life. So what would ye do with that sort of cash?

I'd disappear to a private island for a few years until I get bored and come back. Then I'd possibly indulge myself in a classic car collection. That doesn't include the BYOB parties I'd throw :P

I'd wipe my hole with fivers and then lodge them to the bank to pay my car loan with it's ridiculous interest.

I'd jump on a private jet to Vegas and I would leave until I was utterly disgusted with myself.

Standard Toaster · 11-07-2011 02:52PM

Tis capped at 185mil

There's already a thread somewhere in AH

L.Jenkins · 11-07-2011 02:52PM

Well you could drink the interest on that sort of money and blast it with píss if yore ma isn't quite doing it for ya.

CardBordWindow · 11-07-2011 02:53PM

I'd invest it all in the banks.

FunkZ · 11-07-2011 02:54PM

Honestly? I'd build a mutha****in' Batcave and save mutha****in' lives!

At that rate, you'd probably end up owning 2 or 3 of them.

I'd go to Africa and bribe officials in government to allow extensive trade agreements with the world so that the people can live in somewhat acceptable conditions.

MungBean · 11-07-2011 02:55PM

You wouldn't even leave the jet?

I'd buy the the Force India Formula 1 team. Bring Eddie Jordan in as team boss. Give the cars a yellow make-over. Bring back the Jordan team name. Give Adrian Sutil the sack. Hire Adam Carroll. And then spend 8 months of the year each year travelling to some of the world's most glamouous locations for Grand Prix. Lovely Jubbly.

Wossack · 11-07-2011 02:58PM

spend it all on lottery tickets

Yes, and of course after that 8 months it'll all be gone.

I'm a sucker for the begging letters and sob stories.
Send me to Lourdes/world leading hospital/holiday before I die

I'd need a secretary or I'd be writing cheques all over the place

True. The green 191 was a gorgeous car. But yellow just became tradition. And the Jordan 199 was a beauty too.

So am I, but at least if I won I could pay a journalist to write these letters.

I'd probably wipe me hole with those as well as the €500 notes.

Gilda Fortune · 11-07-2011 03:15PM

I would build a huge oppulant mansion from solid gold. and fashion gold suits for myself and my partner. i would also buy my home town and lord around it.

Don't forget the armour-plated limo, to protect yourself from the begrudging peasants and their ample supplies of concrete blocks.

You sound like a thinker - your the kind of man i could do with in my utopian gold society. I would start you off on 100k a year to be my vice president. Your first project to erect as many statues of me around my town as possible.

mikemac · 11-07-2011 03:22PM

I've a lot of relations including first cousins I've not seen in years and years

Oh if I win they'll be around clapping my on the back with one hand and congratulating me......and their other hand out in front of me

Missing relations in your family? Don't ask the gardaí, just announce you've won the euromillions

careca11 · 11-07-2011 03:25PM

I honestly wouldn't know where to start with €185million , Like who could you trust, where would you put the money , every single lawyer, Accountant etc would be out to screw you

I'd probably give about €50m various Charities ,
Take care of my family/friends

I've done the whole Vegas (over rated IMO), round the world trips etc

( I'd perhaps emigrate to Bali ) Build a big house , Adopt a couple of kids , and make sure that those kids plus my son, want, for absolutely nothing the rest of their lives.

as a hobby I'd buy Dundalk football with the goal being to become the first Irish team to rest the group stages of the champions league .
also buy endless amounts of lego and Model trains ,subbuteo , and build to my hearts content (and would have an exhibition of all the model's made)

Definately. Just wipe it off on someone and hand it in, who'll know any different. To be honest, I'd love nothing more than to annoy people with that sort of money. Pay for small amounts with large notes and large amounts with 1 cent coins.

orourkeda · 11-07-2011 03:27PM

I'd have a ****

It's capped at €185m

At this stage, all of the "extra" profits start spilling down to the lower tier. So this is probably the best time to play as you are more likely to land a bigger prize for a 5 + 1 ticket. In fact, the odds of winning the 5 + 1 are better than the Irish lotto, and the prize fund is bigger at the moment.

You still haven't a fncking hope of getting 5 + 1, of course.
