    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. :)

    lol some people are so brain washed

    I'd collect my weeks dole, then walk in to the dole office and sign off. The next week I'd arrive Monday to Friday and give out free Hot cups of Tea and coffee to everyone in the queue, (There very Long queues, standing in the pissing rain and cold) with a 500 euro in an envelope for each of them. To hell with the begrudgers.

    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.
    id go and cash in the ticket first,then a no expenses spared party in courtown

    I'd hire the pope mobile and go on a national tour with me holding my big lotto cheque behind bulletproof glass. I'd also keep beeping my horn throughout the night as well just so the peasants would have to wake up and look at me...

    I really shouldn't win the lotto :)

    Even if you dont win the lotto you could still have a go in the pope mobile

    Very first thing would be start scouring estate agents for a nice house near my parents.
    Then I'd book a two week holiday, bring all my family with me.
    When I got home I'd buy a brand new car.
    Divide up the winnings with them and generally live normally but with money in my account to feel secure.

    I'd probably buy me 69 year old father some hookers as well, mother is the size of a whale these days and doubt he got a taste or sniff between the legs in the last twenty years

    buy myself a seat in congress, pay off the rest of congress and the senate to impeach the president, pay off supporters to make me president then rule the USA without a teleprompter. Make Jeff Foxworthy my VP. Send Eric Holder to the middle of Mexico topless and in a dress, high heels with make-up but without a gun.
