What would you do if you won €130 million?

Not even sure where to start.

Immediate family, Mum, Dad, looked after for rest of life, bills and mortgage cleared, new car each, etc. Brother and sister looked after, house and car each, college bills, any debts, etc. Few of the closest cousins would also be let in on the action, and spoil their kids even more than before. Few of closest friends also getting a nice chunk.

Me, Mortgage paid, and new car. Build own house, Kevin McCloud from Grand Designs employed to over see things, with every mod con going. Give the current owner of my Grannys old homestead/site, an offer he could not refuse, toss the house he built, and build pretty much a replica of her and Grandads house, but with a few modern comforts added, ie, shower, toilet, and running water. Flat in London. Would still work in my current feild, but as a volunteer.

Regular charity contributions to The Irish Cancer Society, McMillian Nurses in Northern Ireland, and one or two other carefully chosen ones. Own Business, either a Record/Music Store, or Property Developer, buying houses, and selling them on.

Would probably still have a good chunk left over, where the interest alone would probably pay for day to day life, and a couple of holidays each year. Philippines, and Austrailia the first two destinations.

Now just need to play it.

You win 130m and buy health insurance for your parents? You must think they are going to be visiting hospital fairly often.

Insurance is for people who can't afford to pay. Just use the money to pay for healthcare.

I would ring my local AIB and tell them and do a Julia Roberts style Rodeo Drive rant at them... Remember that small loan you refused us a few years ago?? Big mistake..

Yeah because the Bank was supposed to have a crystal ball that you'd win the lotto in the future.

Clarence was polite enough to close the door behind him when he left

I'd aim to give away about 120 million, 10 million would see me live without financial worries and with the means to travel, invest etc. for the rest of my days.

Invest in real estate in Detroit wtf?

I have not seen anything which would suggest that his advice, on any financial matters, would be worth paying for.

At least the Castletroy shopping center is going well, it was a ghost town before. Pity the council denied the expansion plans.

I did the euro millions tonight and while I know I probably just wasted €10.50, it's nice to fantasize for a few hours that I could become part of the 1%. First thing I'd do is quit my job Obviously I would take care of my family and donate to some charities but realistically what would I do with that amount of money? I'd have everyone in the country looking for money and my life would never be the same. I'd actually love to just win a million or €500,000 as it would set me up but wouldn't ruin my life.

How would you handle it if you won big?

At the rate things are going, i'd just about afford the iPhone 11.

Keep farming till it’s all gone, buy the retirement cottage in France

Go on a long holiday.

I'd pay €130m off the national debt in order to help us continue having over paid teachers, nurses and gardai; Europe's most generous social welfare system; and overpaid civil servants.

I know, right? Six years of college and not being able to get a permanent job for years, getting temporary 4 hour a week contracts. So overpaid.

I’d fund a purpose built oncology outpatients unit in Galway. It’s presumed to be a centre of excellence but in reality it’s cramped and under resourced. The staff are fantastic, the oncologists are fantastic and the treatment is bettering by the day but the facilities let everything down when sick patients are forced to wait 6+ hours in a waiting room to be called for treatment because the building is just not functional. The patients deserve better.

Buy an UltraHD TV and Ultra Blu-Ray player

And what would you do with the other 129.99 million?

Easy to spend it. Will someone lend me a tenner on Monday, please?

Holiday in the sun

After doing the needful with family I'd buy an apartment in Zermatt and wake up every morning looking at the Matterhorn. I'd probably also open a restaurant there too and happily lose a lot of money being mein host to friends.

Give it away (half( rest to family,local GAA and CCFC

Have a ball making plans for our future.

Donate the odd 30 million to Focus Ireland.

Open up a refuge for animals in Ireland, close to the sea, somewhere with beautiful views. Employ loads of genuine animal lovers to run it and sit back and relax for the rest of days whilst looking at these happy animals.

Travel for about 3 months every winter.

Your 100m won’t last p1ssing time with that plan. Paying people to look after animals that have no return? I’d suggest you take a few lessons in basic maths first.
