Euromillions €210 million

You really think you're going to win €210m and your kids won't notice all the extra things?

Unless you plan not to spend money then what's the point in doing it. Never get that.


You won't win anyway so nothing to worry about.

So your saying there is a chance ..

It's a dangerous situations tbh - if the news leaks, you could be in for pain for bother, money usually attracts the wrong kind of people.

My dream would be to set up a trust to support the education for all own kids and all kids / young people in the family and their kids etc for generations to come. There will be rules. They will have to work hard to withdraw from this trust fund, prove that they deserve it - but they will never be denied an opportunity to move ahead in life because they couldn't afford it.

They will also have to become part of the board, perhaps contribute into and carry the mission forward for future generations.

Enjoy life instead of suffering through it.

I would disappear for a year to somewhere calm and peaceful and think about what I was going to do with it. There would be no rush to give a penny of it away straight away.

I certainly wouldn't give my family so much of it they could retire or anything like that. That would be a hefty amount anyway as I have a lot of siblings. I could see myself telling them many months after the win I was in Australia and that my solicitor would be in touch to get their bank details. Maybe 1 Mil each, something like that. A somewhat derisory sum in comparison to the jackpot but significant for them all the same. And they can't say I didn't give them anything.

My friends live where I once used to live abroad, I could rejoin them, let them know of my luck, and my local community here would be none the wiser. So I wouldn't have to keep it a secret entirely. Oh I have friends here to but they are more like good acquaintance. It could be months before they'd notice I'd disappeared and thoughts of who the mystery winner is would be long gone.

Now I really enjoyed that little fantasy, I must go and pay for it now by doing the lottery. €2.50 should do it.

i always wondered if you won 200m or something, how to you go about buying expensive things? for example a 100k watch, or a 1m supercar, you hardly enter your bank card and enter a pin number?

also, how much money would you be allowed to have sitting in a current account? i mean i doubt if you withdrew 100 and got a balance slip it would say 199,999,900 on it

Simple. You have a man on horseback ride up to deliver the gold.

What I wonder is after my winnings are transferred into my credit union account will there be a big gap in the street and smouldering crater where the credit union used to be

The expensive diesel and the top of the range car wash

I'd give ye all a grand each.

Sterling or yoyos? Maybe a McGonigles diesel card for the amount would suit me better.

Good man yer da.

I've often fastasised about winning it, but I think it'd almost be just as much a curse as it is a blessing. I'm in my late 20's and unmarried, how would I ever be able to get into a relationship with anyone without worrying about their true intentions? I reckon it'd make a lot of people a paranoid wreck. Having said that, I'll still probably buy a ticket for tomorrow's draw and be instantly disappointed when I don't win :pac:

Feck off to LA and hook up with some rich young one.

Resign by text message and straight into early retirement.

I wouldn't resign. I'd just never turn up for work again and ignore all correspondence from them.

Nobody would find out to be honest. I'd disappear, I've done it before.
Tell my Mam and Dad I won a bit.

I'd rent a modest house somewhere nice in Ireland to start with, set up some shell companies, and offshore accounts, all on the level, with a very shrewd tax avoidant lawyer. Then buy a home.

I'd gift my mam some, my dad too, but BIK kind of ways. Pay off their mortgage. Sort out anything my Mam wants. Buy my dad a place where he's always wanted to live. Maintaining ownership of same, but letting him take it on as a time share kind of arrangement.

I'd buy land in Ireland, and lots of it. Get a herd number.
Start a few companies. Donate to causes I genuinely think would make a difference.

Be an anonymous angel investor.

Live the high life - growing veg and flowers, learning languages, raising animals, enjoying nature.
Upgrade my vehicular transportation, a 4x4 for the mountains and inclement weather, a comfortable cruiser for long distance trips in Ireland, some retro beauties, just because. Possibly some helicopter trips and such (my eyesight prevents me ever being a pilot).

A place somewhere 420 friendly, leaning towards somewhere modest in Colorado or Oregon. Netherlands, Portugal also in the running.

Every bit of sound technology I could muster. Rooms of full and accurate hi-fidelity sounds.

No neighbours to annoy (hence the land grabbing). I'd live in bliss and nature and music.

I'd angel invest in companies on the up, the CBD and hemp/cannabis industries mainly, and rest on my lazy laurels till my money made bank, interest wise.

I always said I'd jump on the poshest cruise ship and disappear for a year, see the world then return when the dust has settled. Round the world, 5 star jobby where theres already millions on board so no questions to be answered. Needless to say that's all gone to the wall in the current climate.

The thoughts of my nearest and dearest paying millions to the Irish government to squander sickens me to the core so I'd have to look at that one closely by paying off mortgages, clearing debts, buying them cars, holidays with expense accounts ect and that way anything they earn themselves is their own.

Animal welfare and charities would be a big one for me.

It's a difficult one to imagine, I would say you would be constantly looking over your shoulder and hoors you havn't heard from in ages would be swinging out of yeh. You would need to keep it quiet but that in today's day and age is impossible.

I’d buy a pair of yeezys.
