    I've never wanted someone to not win the Lotto more in my entire life!! :mad:

    I'd spent the next 10 years giving away €150,000,000 of it.
    Disgraceful amount of money to give to one person.

    Ugh you've obviously never had you're appendix removed. The bile you start coughing up before hand tastes very similar!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,816 ✭✭✭pebbles21


    I would give every boardsie a cheque for three fiddy and an Atari Jaguar for their ma!

    I read about Beyonce doing a 30 minute show for some Arab princess for $1 mill

    So I reckon I could a handjob while looking at her tits for $5mill

    The rest can look after itself

    You are correct. I'm still connected to my appendix, but I'd gladly get rid of it for free Jager! :p

    5m?
    I can get that sorted for you by someone who calls herself Beyonce for €30.

    I'd give about 160 million away. Make a lot of people happy and live very well for the rest of my days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭allibastor


    I think if i had that much money i would train to become Batman. They make more money so i could be a billionaire.

    Or else i would just cheat on being a superhero and build the Ironman suit.

    Actually, I think i would use all that money to eb allowed to punch chuck Norris, Once, then use the money to beg his forgivness. It would take all 170m, but it would be worth it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭MaxSteele


    I would give most of it away to the needy, sick, dying, starving and those without a roof over they're head. I'd go to South Africa and reinvent the shanty towns and provide sanitation.
    I would become a UN ambassador for children by building orphanages and eliminating slave labour worldwide.


    WHOORES AND MORE WHOORES


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,246 ✭✭✭Hungrycol


    So heres how I'll divvy up my 170 million after I win it tomorrow night.....
    Parents: 5,000,000

    Wifes Parents: 5,000,000

    Mate who I'm in a syndicate with for the ordinary lotto but not Euromillions: 5,000,000.

    Siblings (8 of em!): 3,000,000 each x 8 = 24,000,000

    Wifes Siblings (only 3!) : 3,000,000 x 3 = 9,000,000

    Mates who I've promised a digout if I win: 3,000,000 x 7 = 21,000,000

    Local soccer club (long story): 3,000,000

    Total Giveaway: 72,000,000.

    Balance Remaining: 98,000,000
    Pocket Money: 8,000,000, (Cars, Houses, Piss ups etc)

    Invest the remaining 90,000,000 in govt savings scheme at 3% pa.
    Less P.R.S.I. @ 4% and D.I.R.T. @30% on the earnings
    Total Net earnings would be 1,782,000 per annum
    Net per month earnings: 148,500. (with the 90,000,000 still in the bank!)

    What would ye do with 170,000,000 ?

    Siblings, parents, in-laws, mates, all subject to gift tax. Tax man has you by the cahonas. Nothing for it then to keep it all yourself.

    I'd do loads of stupid **** just to piss people off

    I'd buy a nice house for my brother so he wouldn't have to worry about his rent anymore, give him about €20 million so he could live in comfort for the rest of his life. Another €20 million would go to my parents for putting up with me, then a few million to the few relations that aren't total dicks. After that I'd use the remaining monies to do the following:

    Buy a small deserted island in a remote and trecherous part of the Pacific ocean, rig it up with cameras and Saw-style horrors and kidnap my father, strand him on the island with just enough basic supplies to last for a week and a gun with one bullet. Let him know true abandonment. Then, about halfway into the week, kidnap my stepmother and throw her out of the plane with a timer-operated parachute, again armed with only a few mergre supplies and a blunt weapon.
    Slowly but surely, I would introduce elements of surprise like wild animals, traps and mind-games until they get to the point where they end up contemplating killing each other. Right when they've lost all hope I'll show up on a monitor, inform them that they've taken their punishment well and that if they can find it by night fall, a helicopter will be waiting in the darkest, dangerous parts of the middle of the island to take them to safety.
    I would then give them each one million to never contact me again and stay out of my life or face being left on the island once more for the rest of their sad, pathetic lives.

    Next, massive holiday going all over the world. I'd buy a house in Barcelona, Tokyo and a penthouse in New York then pay Tom Hiddleston to be my naked, poetry reciting butler.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    €1,000,000 in cash into a suitcase and straight to Las Vegas to have one helluva tear up.

    Come back a little while later to decide on how the rest of the €169,000,000 or so would be spent.

    Some things that are a given:

    -New Porsche 991, new Nissan Qashqai
    -New house
    -Plenty of bespoke suits, shirts and shoes, with ties to go with all for every occasion.
    -Plenty of dig outs and pressies for friends and family
    -Siberian Husky puppy
    -Season ticket for Chelsea Football Club
    -Season ticket for Croke Park
    -Season ticket for IRFU and FAI
    -Holiday home in South of France

    Invest huge amounts into saving schemes as outlined in the OP (with a nice return on the money) and anything else that tickled my fancy...

    Be bliss...

    Who cares about anonymity, a more important question is whether 170m would get you the roide?

    I'd buy a load of pix n' mix

    I'd buy a Dark Knight Rises-style Batmobile (or have one commissioned to be built) and have the Stig teach me how to drive it.
    Then, I'd build a house like this and use a sizable chunk of my fortune preparing for the impending apocolypse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    I'd buy €20 credit. Fecking free calls are gone.

    I decided to give each of em 3 million so they'd clear over 2 million after tax. Them paying their taxes is nothin to do with me. Theyre the ones liable to the gift tax. Tax man wouldnt have me by anything. I'd be payin almost a million in taxes every year myself, sure I live here, I have to help out :D

    Not going there...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    I'd buy 365 pairs of socks. A new pair everyday. Unreal.

    Save the rest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 690 ✭✭✭m4r10


    With all those money, I still wouldn't pay the HHC on my existing house!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    Carry out various Balotelli related gestures/deeds every day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭kwestfan08


    Id make sure that all my family are looked after comfortably and give a chunk to charity

    Next I think I'd start Globe trotting for a while with a couple of close mates. Start in NY, get bored of that on to Vegas, tired of that scene LA next, I heard Toyko's cool let's check it out etc etc all the while living it up coke and hookers style.

    After about a year of that I'd probably set up some kind of venture capital fund for small business just to keep at something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,572 ✭✭✭msg11


    If I won the Euromillions, I would start up a chain of shops like Spar except run them on the same lines as the 1/2EURO shops.

    Never mind a Super Club, I would rent a warehouse down the docks, buy about 20 buses to collect people from all over Dublin, run some serious club nights apply for a late license (the 4am/5am one) start a Mega Club. No admission fee, cheap drink, give it a few years see if it turns a profit , give it a budget of 25/30 million over 4/5 years.

    Basically I would try break into industry's that are ripping me off on a daily basis just to get some revenge on them.

    Then just the usual stuff, look after friends and family fairly well, I would also do a secret millionaire sort of thing and give out money to what I feel deserves it/needs it.

    Oh yeah and try and start a Capital FM style radio station for Ireland, with hardly any presenters.
