    I think for family it's around €30,000. For anyone else €3,000.

    Although I'm not sure but it may be possible to claim it was a syndicate and give people certain amounts based on that

    It's not a whole lot. Think about 300k for close family. Changes then for other family members. Could be totally wrong but that's what it was a few years ago when i was in college.

    I heard it was an Anglo Irish syndicate

    ...they picked the numbers out of Declan Drumms arse


    ...I'll get me coat

    You would generally pretend that you bought the ticket on behalf of your friends and family in whatever percentage you want to share it out.

    My big lotto winners do not immediately come forward as they take tax planning advice first.

    I'd be hugely surprised if any significant CAT was paid out of Lotto winnings.

    I forgot to buy a ticket. I am in a syndicate though so there's still hope...

    Unless we just did the normal lotto this week, which does happen sometimes :(

    Get them to sign the back with a % beside the signature, would be tax free that way.

    Dont check your ticket! switch your phone off+dont check the internet, that way you wont find out where it was done, just dream about spending all your money all night, then check it in the morning, its the most your gona get out of it!!

    Sick I checked mine now

    Schrodingers ticket? until you check it, you've both won & lost

    None.

    Heard about putting all the names of people that you want to gift money to on the back of the winning ticket to avoid tax, but I'm not sure if that's still legal now.

    You can expect millions of pissed of family members either way.
    But then again you can buy some new friends and family to replace them.

    wasn't me anyway, best of luck to them, that's a phenomenal amount of money

    cheers for the answers. load a crap anyway. If the lottery is tax free you should be able to do what you want with it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 262 ✭✭Bench Press


    Even worse (better?). So the winner thought they got €188m, but end up only getting 94. Granted, 94 is a lot, but how sicked would you be to believe that you're worth €188 million, only to find out that it's half that.
    I think I could live with it

    My boyfriend does the Lotto and Euromillions every week, without fail, even if we're down to our last few cent, he'll raid the savings box to buy a ticket.
    He did the Euromillions tonight but he's in bed now and hasn't checked his ticket...................................................
    ...................................and I don't know how to check Lotto tickets :o:o:o

    PS: If he's gone in the morning and his passport's not in the wardrobe, then I'll know he's won and fecked off to the Maldives with some plastic boobed bimbo with a waist like a Coke bottle............HAHA who am I kidding, nobody would put up with him, €94 million or no €94 million.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,352 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    If an Irish resident has just won 94mill, I'd say there will be a secret cabinet meeting tonight to work out how to tax half of it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,931 ✭✭✭Calibos


    As mad as it sounds given there are 4 million people in this country, but when there is an Irish Euromillions winner I can't help but feel. "Ah FFS, So so close" :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,827 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    Lol if you could all see me now..I posted about boyfriend being in bed and he hasn't checked his ticket yet.

    I'm sitting here watching telly and guess what else I'm doing?

    I'M LOOKING UP HOUSES ON DAFT.IE!
    HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH :pac::pac::pac::pac:

    I went out for a smoke and while I was out there I started thinking about how much I'd give to my family.

    Bahahhahaha I've just entertained myself no end..........back down to Earth with a bump when boyfriend wakes up and checks the ticket and we haven't won!

    Or whoever won could be generous and share the wealth equally among all 4 million of us.... €23.50 each!

    This should be merged with the c*nt thread

    Lol and there was no winner of the chicken feed euro plus. No surprises there I suppose.

    Does anyone even do that, It would be embarrassing for me to go to lotto HQ to collect such a measly sum. I'm John Bowe by the way, pleased to meet you.

    I'd be happy if I just won €10 out of it.












    Aw who am I kidding, I want my goddamn millions!! I'll never have my golden toaster at this rate. :(

    "So what are you going to spend the money on Betty?"

    "Well, I've always wanted to have a holiday in Kinsale. We'll be able to travel in style too after the win. Denis my husband will be able to buy that 2001 Mercedes he always had is eye on down at Walshes garage....."

    Its happened before! Give me strength!! :D

    When I saw the thread title I thought someone had shared the jackpot with everyone in Ireland. Now I'm just disappointed.
