    Tell nobody. Fat chance of keeping that secret in Ireland.

    Enjoy the look on the face of the guy in the post office when I top up my Communion money with a cheque for €130 M.

    Emigrate. Germany looks good.

    As far as the inevitable begging letters go I would probably keep sending them to throw people off the scent !

    Thanks for that, I liked George but that's funny. I'd say even the great man would laugh.

    Ah that wasn't meant to be a slight on the man. I liked him as well but it's a yarn I heard ages ago. It's funny because though.

    Probably buy a hundred million worth of copper. When people actually realise just how much copper they'll need for a "green future", they'll then realise how much copper they need just to stay going as they are and I'll probably become a billionaire. Unless they find a replacement for copper. Then I'll just commission the worlds biggest copper middle finger statue....

    On the main draw two ticket holders in Ireland got €2102. The annoying thing is that they had 4 numbers plus two stars. One more number and it was the 130 mil.

    In a lot of draws nobody in Ireland even manages the 4 plus 2, and the most anyone wins is about €150.

    I'd just buy the government (cheap because to buy the country outright would cost more) - imagine how much of a return you could get on that, well it worked for some people...

    If you even gave a decent amount away to your kids or other friends and relatives it'd be eaten up in CAT.

    That's why you include them as shareholders in the win while claiming your prize - tax free

    They'd have to be very good hookers and a lot of them and many tons of coke. Enjoy both.

    Always make sure the winning ticket is everyone you want to share the wealth with - a family consortium (unless you hate your family of course!)

    Buy a pub in every TDs electorate and sell every product at exactly MUP just to undercut the greedy feckers that are pushing this nonsense bill through the dail.
