First thing you'd do after winning the Lotto

I Heart Internet

I see that the €6.5 million Lotto wasn't won last night. I didn't get a single number!

I have often spent many pleasant minutes thinking about a big lotto win and what I'd do, how it would change me and how I'd be a really great winner!

I'm sure "what would you spend a lotto win on?" threads have been done. But my question is, what would you do in the minutes and hours immeadiately after you won. Not so much: what would you do with the money - more, how would you react??
Me, I think I'd start weeping and rocking back and forth before running into every room in my house screaming...then sh1ting myself and booking a train to Dublin to collect the winnings. Probably sleep with the winning ticket in my jocks for safe-keeping.

I wouldn't tell a soul until I was in the Lotto offices and they showed me the money transferring into my account.

I'd be too afraid I was misreading the ticket or something!

I'd go to Lotto headquarters and pull me wire in their Jax

Well I won 50 euro on the prize bonds a while ago. I nearly squeezed the dog to death with excitement when the cheque came in the post. So if that's anything to go by, the first thing I will have to do if I win the lotto will be organise a dog funeral...no expenses spared of course.

I'd collect it with my husband and then get the best financial advice on how to hold on to as much of it as possible. Immediate family wouldn't be told about the win until after we'd had time to process that we actually had a shed load of money. I think its best to tell nobody about it until you know what you want to do with it. I'd imagine it'd be fairly easy for others to spend a lot of it very fast.

I'd contact the girl I fancied back in high school who turned me down to both the Prom and the Spring Ball, even though I didn't ask her to either one, let her know I'm now in the money, and wait patiently as she suddenly "falls in love with me".

Then ditch her, and head to Vegas with the lads.

Have a good poo and use up all the bog roll.

Moll'll fix it

I'd turn on the heating

Not a thing til it hit my account. EDIT: + 1 to above!!
Then pay off debts before going for an expensive meal to discuss WTF we're going to do with our lives!!

Buy me and my college friends a week away during the Summer. All 26 of us! Would be amazing

Throw it on the pile I suppose.

Get the 41 to abbey street

Crumple in a heap of relief.
I'm sure I'd be easily revived with champagne though.

Book a flight to Australia for the next day . Then go and celebrate and buy everyone I know drinks for the night.

Freak out, head down to the cop shop and put the ticket under lock and key. Party, collect winnings, pull a sickie and emigrate.

..assuming a cop hasn't cashed the ticket while you're partying.

I'd go to Dublin airport and find a taxi man who has been waiting hours for a fare. I would hop in his cab and ask him to take me to Ballymun. His anger and frustration i would video and post on youtube. Then I'd do it again and again. No end of fun.

Autumn Moon

I'd check the numbers - make SURE they ARE they winning ones.......... Check them again,......and again.......and possibly again!.....

When I won it I was surprisingly calm

TheDoc

Quit job, buy house, buy car, look after family, invest

In that order, win at life

I'd probably get really paranoid and try to stick to my regular schedule in fear that all this good luck is going to be evened out by me getting injured doing something that I wouldn't normally do because I'd won the lotto.

Then I'd look in the mirror and laugh for a bit. Then probably cry for a bit. Then I'd ring the parents and tell them to quit work. And the girlfriend that she can quit work too.

Then I'd make a plan for travelling around the world.

Go down town and have a quiet pint, sitting there with a little smile on my face, saying nothing to no one.

The next day into the Lotto offices then I'm outta here for at least a year so I can come to terms with whats happened and plan exactly what to do with it.

While on the road I'd organise for my family to be looked after anonymously.

"I'd stay in my job to keep me grounded"

Anyone who says that should have their winnings taken off them. Live the dream! work for yourself or something. I couldn't fathom sitting at a desk working for someone else with millions in the bank.

Retire to the toilet, take a massive dump in peace while clutching the ticket in my hand and smiling.

Carefully place the ticket on the ground where I can see while I wipe (don't want to spend the afternoon googling 'how to clean faeces off a lotto ticket'!).

Then get a taxi to the Spar on Abbety St. (never get one straight to Lotto HQ or the bloody driver will sell the story to the papers!)

Buy a bottle of wine and walk into Lotto HQ swigging from it.

Get money transferred into my account.

Once money is safely in account spend spend spend spend spend bitches!
