    If you played online and won the jackpot, do they still announce where the winner came from?

    Is it not a bit bad to be naming winners here when they may well want to try and attempt to stay anonymous?

    I was wondering how that works too. This time last year, I won about €2000 on the Lotto website, but didn't realise it until I got a claim form in the post. (I probably got the usual e-mail "News from your Lotto account" but assumed I'd won €3).

    You could build a wall around your house so high nobody would ever bother you, arrive and leave by chopper.

    Or you could have the first fee people that enquire about you "dissappeared" as an example to the others.


    I'd like to be a feared multi millionaire. That way you could occasionally laugh maniacally in the media to let every know you have the power and money to keep am eye on them.

    I'm hearing the winner is from Drumcondra. Former public servant, has asked for the whole amount in cash, sterling and dollar denominations, as he has no bank account.

    Poor lad, sounds like he could do with the money. Well done to him and, I'm guessing, his hard to do family.

    Lotto wins. Winning five figure sums on the horses.

    Seems to be a bit of a lucky chap.

    In this day in age ot still takes a week to get all the various EU lottery companies to send the money to Ireland so that it can be paid to the winner - joke.

    If the above is true (wanting it in cash) yikes - that brings a whole host of other security issues.

    It'a actually a good thing that the winner/s have to wait about 10 working days before they see the loot in their accounts.

    Is playing the lotto online still considered as gambling by banks?

    Doesn't make much of a difference tbh. Anything they want now they could get on credit.

    Should they do away with all millionaire lotterys? ?? It only gives the desperate (like me) false hope

    *im sure it contributes to gambling addiction
