    Pay off the 4 brothers mortgages send the parents on a round the world trip, and probably head down the pub and drink drink drink!

    Cry, scream, cry, and get straight onto the Internet to book a holiday somewhere far and hot where I can decide what I'll do with the money :cool:

    I'd keep it a secret, maybe a few anonymous donations to charity's in the dead of the night like batman. After that, PFFFFTTTT... probably carry on life as, if I hadn't won the lotto. go to college, get a job, get a car and house. As I'd go mad if I didn't have work/job. :)

    House for everyone I know.

    EDIT: Close family anyway!

    Tell no one, but anonymously gift them stuff.

    Organise a road trio to every restaurant featured on diners drive ins and dives.

    It'll be rolled over until Paddy's weekend so!

    Just wait and see!

    Anyway, I would split the money up with my family and go on a mad one. I've always said I'd open up a club with sound bouncers because I haven't come across one yet.

    If the winnings are big enough, I might then consider opening a mostly-vegetarian restaurant.

    Mostly vegetarian in that you slip a tiny bit of meat into everything on the sly? :D

    There used to be a place I'd visited in Annagassan with a giant aviary. That's what I would build. I'd have nests wired up with cameras or other viewing arrangements for everyone to see the birds.

    ...and become a regular contributor to Mooney Goes Wild:D

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

    Imagine you thought you won and then checked them again and won nothing. That would be soul destroying.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 536 ✭✭✭Clareboy


    I would get to hell out of this country as quickly as possible and would not spend as much as an hour longer here than I had to!

    That happened a friend of mine to his grand dad. but he checked the numbers and thought he won. Called everyone. Quit his job etc. the he had like a small hart attack when he realised he didn't win. My friend told me the storry and I LOL'd. :pac::o:o

    Ehh they are not the type of birds most people want to see,
    at least not on the internet anyway. ;)

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Double check.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,309 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    I think everyone would be jumping up and down knowing they just won :) The sheer shock of it. But I think one should do so 'queitly' tho. Last thing you want to do is start screaming "I just won the lotto!" for the neighbours to hear.

    Everyone would be knocking at your door looking for money or worse, knocking your door down FOR the money.

    So.... you'd open a restaurant?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    I wouldn't tell anyone and I would use the money to play huge elaborate and hilarious pranks on people for my own amusement.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,297 ✭✭✭Son0vagun


    I'd put it with my collection of curry jars.

    Pay my parents mortgage. Bring us all on a holiday, and come back and buy my own house.
