man oh man!! how i want to win it so bad...

Sleipnir

You win 5,000,000 euro and you'd buy a kitchen?

Some people just don't deserve it.

Kone

Is there some site where you can do the lotto online?

BrookieD

I would buy The Bentley Continental GT
that is one sh1t hot car Have a look here

Jim

You'd probably just put a spoiler on it.

smoke.me.a.kipper

If I won 5 million - I'd give 1 million to my Mam, 1 million between family and friends, some money to charity and as for the other 3 million. Well I wouldn't move house because I love where I live but I would get it totally renovated - I always wanted an arcade in my house so I'd have my own arcade with a jutebox, slot machines, dance machine, pool table and some eighties games like bubble bobble and pac man. I'd go on a world cruise. I'd buy a holiday home in the south of France.........I could go on and on.....

My Grandad (who's nearly 81) says he wouldn't tell his family and close friends and have a surprise night in a real fancy restaurant for us all. He said he would then stand up and tap his glass at the head of the table and make a speech just before dinner and tell us all and give us all a cheque each which would let us all pay off our mortgages and have a holiday. How sweet is that?

Sleipnir

Yeah I'd give my dad enough money so that he could retire now and send the pair of them to Africa for 3 weeks, give my GF's brother enough to renovate his house, buy an apartment for my brothers (but they'd still have to pay 'a bit'. Nobody should have it that easy)
I wouldn't pay off my mortage as the interest you could earn on that money would be more than the interest you'd pay on the mortgage over 30 years.

fozzle

I reckoned I'd win it last week cos I got dumped on by a pigeon.

I forgot to get a ticket. :rolleyes:

I'd pay off my student loans, buy back my grandparents house so'z I could live there, get my parent's house done up, pay for my sisters' school/college/whatever, share some of the love with family and friends, my best friend is promised a million of my first 3million (silly us!), and then I'd bugger off around the world for a while to see all my foreign friends. Oh and I'd give a few bob to my old department and student's union, and, of course, to boardsy!


/me wanders off to pay into work syndicate

Naw i'm gonna win. I'm on a roll after winning €100 on it on Saturday
2 more numbers, baby

If you're all nice i'll donate €10 to the boards.ie lotto losers fund when i get back from by 2 year holiday.

koneko

I was thinking about what I'd do if I won the lotto last week, and then day dreaming turned into planning. Let's just say I was very disappointed when I didn't win, I was almost expecting it.

But THIS IS MY WEEK

Good idea, but you don't need 5mil for that. Check out http://netbox.home.mindspring.com/arcade/ and build your own arcade machine!
I'd like to do this but have niether the time, wood, nor sufficient opposable digits to complete such a task





Well, maybe I do have the digits, but not the inclination.

If I won 5 million, I'd probably do the same as the rest of ye. Buy house, pay parents and loans, give to charity, go on a big holiday and then take it easy.

Sleepy

Ah, the weekly purchasing of the right to dream, or as an old school teacher used to call it: "the government's tax on those that are bad at maths" (guess what subject he taught? :rolleyes:

First off, I'd buy my parents out of the mud-flinging and **** that goes with their divorce, then massive party for everyone I know (just so I could never have some begrudging cvnt say I'd never even bought them a drink), quit my job and spend a few years travelling while the majority of the win rested in blue chip shares befiore buying myself a business of some kind. Nothing fancy, maybe just a pub or something. Buy meself a jag, donate a new server to boards, pay for a music room and speedball court for the respective clubs in UCG, a few presents for friends and live happily ever after...

Blitzkrieger

I'd buy a second car and modify it. Something like a twin turbo Supra and put bigger turbos and a nice shot of NOS. That itself wouldn't cost much, but you'd have to make all sorts of mods to the engine to be able to cope with it. Thirty grand would probably be loads.

Give the family a quarter million each, buy a big ass house........the usual stuff.

ixoy

Well, if I decided to use it for a Dublin house, I could probably afford a 2 bedroom appartment somewhere.

With the remaining money I could probably afford to:

* Get a nice big house, complete with swimming pool... 1/64th scale doll's house from Smyth's toy store.

* Luxurious round-the-world holiday via flicking through a series of photos collated from various travel brochures

* Gifts for friends and family bought from Dublin's Eurosaver store.

* Can of Dutch Gold and packet of crisps to celebrate my win.

Hagar

I have come up with a sure fire method to pick out the winning numbers.

I pick out my luckiest 6 numbers. Now we all know they are not going to come out so I discard them.
That leaves 36 numbers. Repeat the process 5 more times until I have discarded every number I possibly think might come up.
Now I have picked and doomed 36 numbers. The numbers left are the ones I wouldn't have picked in a fit.
Going on my past record there is a good chance that they will win simply because I didn't pick them. So I use them.

Simple or what ? :cool:

PS If this works for you, don't forget where you heard it.

Hello Kitty

Bloody hell if i won 5million id buy a huge house and put a swimming pool, steam room the lot in it.....
then id get a property abroad.

id buy a ferrari and porche have all the best cars!!
and id buy millions of new clothes
and of course give money to charity's and my family.
Id really love to have that much money

Sleipnir

I actually know someone who won 2.3 million pounds a few year ago. she was a student at the time and the first I knew of it was when I opened the paper and her big grin nearly which blinded me. She was holding one of those oversized cheques.

She said not remaining anonymous was the worst mistake she ever made. People from charities were knocking at her door several times a day.

vibe666

i hate that when beggers plague people who've won the lotto. feckers should do it their damn selves if they want lotto money.

i want one of these! but i can't find a price for it, but if I was a billionaire I'd get it's big brother for $78 million. :eek:

The Integrity 213 is a 65-meter (213') personal luxury submarine. The initial design was originally executed for a client and now awaits a buyer. As proposed, the submarine would constitute the single largest private undersea vehicle ever built, and arguably, the most significant personal transportation device of the 20th century.



oh well, i can dream.



it's good site for 'wet' gadgets by the way. http://www.nauticalniche.com/

BaZmO*

I'd buy a house, one of these, sort out my family and closest friends, have a big party, try to go to as many of the places on my "to do" list and then when I got back I'd probably have to find a job or two to pay for my insurance in the DB9!!!

Just thinking though, I find it funny the amount of people that say they reckon they are gonna win the lotto when they buy a ticket. It just makes me think, why would you buy a ticket if didn't think you were gonna win!!!!

B.

ionapaul

Yeah, I'd NEVER NEVER NEVER tell people. My family and friends would have to keep it pretty secret.

I'd probably buy a nice two-bedroom apartment in D4 or somewhere similar. A nice second-hand BMW. Give a moderate amount to my parents and two brothers (maybe €100k each?), a couple grand each for my many cousins, and €10k each for my closest friends. Do a lot of travelling. Invest most of the rest in stocks and bonds. I am a saver/investor by nature so probably wouldn't waste most of it, but ensure I use it to live the rest of my long life in comfort without working too hard. Maybe open a business selling expensive and useless crap to rich people. That is my dream anyhow!

I know enough rich people to realise that €5 million can go quickly if you waste it - a big house in Ireland and a few properties around the world, a couple of flash cars, free money for all your friends, a horse (what a waste of cash!) or two and it'll all be gone! They say you need about $50 million to be 'don't-give-a-crap' rich - i.e. do what you want and no need to worry about a thing.

Sleipnir

yeah, really. 5 mill ain't much!
As they say, if you can't afford to buy two Ferrari's you can't afford to run one.

Sleepy

I'd tell everyone...

And then buy a few rottweilers

It's 5 million not 50 million, and in this day and age 5mil isn't an awful lot.

If I won it, well I'd keep quiet about it anyway. I'd also save most of it, no point blowing it on a load of crap.
I'd give a decent chunk to the parents, after all they give you they deserve to get a little back.

I'd probably buy a decent sized house and a car. I'd love a CL 65 AMG. I'd also make sure I have a home cinema set up in the house. Then that'd be about it.

Caesar_Bojangle

As far as I know you can take a reduced lump sum or the 5 million in yearly instalments. Damn it, gimme my 5million.

What? this is the Irish lotto we're talking about here, not some muppet American's. They check your ticket and give you a bank draft on the spot. For the full amount- all 5 million glorious euro......... mmmMm euro.

Gordon

They don't just give you your 5 million?

impr0v

Surely you all realise it's a tax on the stupid.

I hate that phrase. Everyone knows the odds are against them. It's just a dream, and only a few quid. Forgive us all would ya?

Jesus, stop the party everybody, the genius just arrived.

impr0v

Relax, I'm prepared to look the other way, keep ticking the boxes.

Very defensive reaction.

Tusky

one of the best things about winning the lotto would be giving your friends some mulah, you would feel like the ****.

daveg

Firstly I'd may sure mine and my GF's parents never had to work again. Throw in a new house and car for them to boot. Then I'd be handing in my resignation (I cannot understand those fools who carry on working) and then we would go on a long holiday. For the rest of our lives....

Tommy Vercetti

I'd buy the internet, and ruin your lives with popups and granny pr0n mwahahahaha

Jim

As said before, its only €5 mil. Boards alone is worth half the gold in the African Congo.

skywalker

i wonder could you get it all in €5 notes and have a money fight in lotto headquarters.

Sleepy

Now, that'd be a laugh!

Lex_Diamonds

Oh man, the Lotto is so cruel isn't it? At least the money we spend on it is going to a good cause (I hope!).

Having said that, id construct some sort of Bond Villian base like that underwater yokey in The Spy Who Loved Me. Perhaps in Dublin bay...

Hagar

The lottery is the government tax on hope.

Creature

I'd go to Vegas and bet it all on black.

Calibos

I hope 1,2,3,4,5,6. come up. That way the people who thought they were being really clever in picking numbers that no-one else would be stupid enough to pick........will have to share the 5 million with approx 2000 (€2500) other 'Clever' people!! Ray Bates the Lotto head honcho is on record as saying approx. 2000 people a draw play 1,2,3,4,5,6. !! :D:D

ie "haha, I'm so clever, I know that the mathematical law of probability states that these numbers are as likely to be drawn as any other set of six. All those fools who think the odds would be against 1,2,3,4,5,6. coming out won't play them, and I'll have the full jackpot for myself.....I'm so clever.....Muahahahaha!!"

Nala

Lisa.c, you beat me to it, I was just abou to post a Lotto thread!
I played for the first time the other night but only got 3 numbers.
If I won I'd definitely stay anonymous, I'd be afraid I'd get mugged or the house was broken into if people knew I was a millionaire. Well it could happen!

If I won 5 million I'd...

-Give some to my parents and some relations.
-Use some of it to get myself a good degree.
-Learn to drive.
-Buy a nice car, nothing too flash.
-Buy a big house with plenty of land.
-Buy a nice horse. Again, nothing too flash.
-Donate some to charity.
-Don't know what I'd do with the rest.

koneko

I'd buy all the horses in Ireland. And a field. And a cloud.

I hate the lotto, they didn't let me win.

[Preacher]

-Pay off familys mortages and debts.
-Move to a decent country.


Make up the rest as I go along.

embee

I am willing to bet my life that lisa.c didn't win.

Does anyone know if it actually has been won?

Or are we looking at a 6 million jackpot on Saturday.

ionapaul

Motherbastard, I didn't win!

I promise never to get my hopes up again...well, until the next time I buy a ticket at least!

Nala

UPDATE

I didn't win.

Does anyone know anyone who has actually won it? What was it like for them?
