    If you buy a new car you're a flash git. If you don't buy a new car you're mean and it's a pity someone who would enjoy the money didn't get it.
    Stay in the area the money was wasted on you. Head off to Monaco and who do you think you are? Better then us?

    If you're employed it's a shame a hard up unemployed person didn't get it
    If you're an ordinary worker in a bank lodging cheques, the paper will headline "Banker will millions" and everyone will hate you though you're an ordinary worker

    And everyone in your area remembers you growing up, you were nothing special and a terrible hurler

    Small town Ireland :(

    Yeah , but fúck the begrudgers, you could buy and sell them

    the first thing I'd do is buy new jocks 'cause I'd shiit myself so bad it would be like a thousand starlings leaving a barn in a hurry.

    Anybody in larger Lotto syndicates will have slightly better odds of winning a share

    Was thinking that myself. I'd have to give most of it to charity that amount of money would turn you into a paranoid freak.


    A paranoid freak that lived in luxury. I'd be grand cause I'm young... I could just feck off and pretend I'd emigrated. Make some story up about where I got it from when I arrived in the other country.

    Seriously the smile you'd have on your face for amount 3 months would be unreal.

    If I won it my dream is to be able to go to the airport with nothing but the clothes on my back, phone, wallet and passport and fly where ever I feel like at that moment in time. When I get to my destination pay someone to go buy clothes and essentials to sort me out for the duration of my stay. At the end of the trip I'd leave everything behind me apart from the clothes on my back, phone, wallet and passport and get on a plane. When I arrive back in Ireland just walk off the plane with my hands in my pockets and straight through the terminal. How sweet would that be? Being able to just walk off the plane, no waiting for baggage or anything.

    If you just bring a carry on bag you wont have to wait so you can just walk straight through.

    You could buy a small town I suppose. Ghost estates and all for a bargain

    Good thinking, I'd buy a small town & begrudge myself. "Who does that fella think he is, the Mayor of Newflashton? I was in his class in school he was no great shakes & now he's strutting around in his golden shoes like he owns the place the fecker"

    Mmmm I guess I would help alot of people really struggling in these hard times
    that would make me quiet happy to help the less fortunate people I would give away say 50 mil and then look after my close friends and family
    Then build myself a nice 5 bedroom house in the country and live happy ( I hope) ever after .
    oh yeah then I would get myself a nice shiny new merc,Bmw,Aston martin,etc

    Have a mule outside the terminal door to carry you off home , just to make your poverty look more authentic.

    With €185 mill you would'nt need carry on, just buy what you need and leave it there when you are coming home. Walk off the plane not having to carry anything.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    i would add a bit to it and pay what i owe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭Haelium


    Hire a bunch of mercenaries and invade somalia.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    If i had €185 million id have my own jet and somebody to carry my luggage,i would never be seen walking through baggage claim with poor people.

    Some of those 2nd and 3rd place prizes would be pretty sweet to have too, and thats only looking at the prizes from the last draw theyll be gone up a bit for this one :D

    I'd buy a solid gold house and rocket car...i'm not greedy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    I'd ring the National Lottery headquarters. "Can I collect that money in my local post office?"
    I'd definitely stay private anyway. No way am I going public.
    I'd give €50,000 to the woman who gave me my ticket today as well.

    First thing I'd do is emigrate to somewhere warm, and from my little hideaway with private jet and car collection, I'd pay off the mortgages/debts of my close friends. Then, I'd spend the rest of my life picking places to see and travelling as much as I could. And I'd probably book a seat on one of the Virgin Galactic flights to see the Earth's curvature too!

    Jayus yeah, remember him!
    Michael Carroll....he's on jobseeker's allowance now. Utter scummer

    When William “Bud” Post won $16.2 million in a 1988 lottery, one of the first things he did was try to please his family, according to this Bankrate article.

    Unfortunately, his kin was of the unfriendly sort. Post’s brother hired a hit man to kill him, hoping to inherit some money

    Jaysus... gotta hire me some bodyguards if when I win


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,151 ✭✭✭✭Raskolnikov


    The odds for the smaller prizes are pathetic! Matching four numbers only gets your €100.

    He's a pure and utter scumbag. Had the misfortune of bumping into him a few times and he's not a nice person. Thought he was royalty going through Norfolk with his "minders"

    I'd buy Heather Mills a new leg.
