    The jackpot tonight is an estimated 180 million euro. I can't imagine having that much money but I'd sure like to give it a try. I've bought my two euro plus lines and all I can do now is wait.
    If I was to win I'd start buying a few businesses I have an interest in. Create jobs and all that.
    I'd buy a penthouse in Dublin. A nice big one that could accommodate 8 strippers and myself.
    I'd pay off all my families mortgages and give them a few quid to set themselves up.
    I'd try buy boards too :p
    Ms America time. I'd give a lot to charity too, but none of the ones where the ceo is on a ridiculous amount.
    I'd open a nightclub too. Drinks would be well priced and the music would be good. But not so loud that nobody can hear a damn thing. I'd have a balcony for me above the dance floor and I'd send a body guard down to fetch any lovely girl that I spot that make like to meet Teddy.
    I'd buy copper face jacks and shut it down.
    ... Anyway have to stop dream and go back to work now.

    If it's an Irish winner Phil Hogan would have legislation changed by lunchtime and take most it :(

    My friends always say "99's all round when we win euromillions". Or as they call them "prize-creams"

    Finance investigations into top people in this state that FG and Labour won't do!

    Top of the list?

    Set up my parents for the rest of they're lives.

    Help a few close friends and relatives out too.

    Then I'd probably buy a strip of beach and set up a bar on it somewhere in the Bahamas. Wouldn't buy loads of properties though. Just rent the best of the best wherever I go.

    What will you do with the begging letters?

    Well firstly give your postman and the local postmistress something for their extra work

    But are you going to read the hundreds or thousands of begging letters? Hire someone to sort them?
    Ignore them? Burn them?

    I'm a sucker for the sob story, hand me my cheque book :o

    Clear the mortgage along with the mortgages of my 10 closest mates.

    Put the rest in the bank so it earns interest whilst heading for a holiday and decide what to do with :)

    Ah awoke my dream - back to work :(

    180 million euro?
    At least give...
    5 Million to the Crumlin Childrens Hospital.
    5 Million to The National Rape Crises Centre.

    I can only dream of winning it...
    (Yes', I've bought a ticket)

    Its way too much for anyone, at least for me. I'd keep a bit and give the rest away to worthy causes, like the Merchants Quay Project or the Simon Community.

    I agree, money doesn't buy happiness.



    On the other hand it does buy sex. . . . . . .

    Buying a Euromillions ticket is simply buying a daydream.

    You get to imagine what you would do with the money you won't win.

    Be warned (found this out myself though getting divorced) - even though they can take 50% for thats the law in regard to marriage, etc, AFTERWARDS of your legal divorce, if you win, they can still take 50% of your savings interest if they wished to.

    Its just a loophole in Irish law that apparently has yet to be closed - it has never been used as far as I know, anyway.

    ...But if someone in the world won massive money, lord knows, there might be another ex-half which might try such a legal stunt! :pac:

    Get it immediately out of Euro and into something like Swiss Franc.

    Hire some lads to go across the border, grab Peter Quinn and leave him with a big bow on the steps of Garda HQ.

    Hitmen exist for situations such as this,if I faced the possibility of losing €90,000,000 I would hire the ****ing guy who shot Bin Laden for €40,000,000.

    keep 5 million
    give the rest away

    that amount of money is not meant for one or two or ten persons

    Just to be clear: your ex-partner would still be able to still claim 50% of your winnings interest - not 50% of the principle amount. :)
