Random

I'd collect the money first of all anyway.

After that I'd just take it all in and relax over the next few weeks and see what happened

My name is URL

Disappear

Saruman

Off to the US, my wife is home sick. I would set up a micro brew pub and enjoy the rest of my life. I would still be working, but it would be more of a hobby than a job to be honest.

Ruu_Old

I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.

Zillah

I'd dish out large chunks to those I hold dear. I'd buy a titanic home with immense gardens somewhere with lots of green, then I'd buy apartments in a few select cities around the world. I'd go on a shopping spree with a carefully chosen retinue in somewhere like New York or Paris. Once I had settled into my new life of hedonistic luxury I'd do some charitable, but amusing things. Like running competitions here on After Hours where people have to draw Paint pictures and the winner get 1000 euro or something. Maybe give young people the opportunity to convince me why they should get ten thousand euro in ten thousand words or less.

Upon further thought, 10 mil isn't gonna cut it.

Creamy Goodness

i would wait til i finish college in 7 weeks.

go on my chicago trip and then would go on a RTW trip.

when i come back i'd buy myself a new car nothing special probably a 2003-2005 3 series BMW.

rest would go in the bank.

cocoa

well, first, I'd wonder how the hell I had come to be in possession of a ticket...

Then, I'd spend the rest of my life in college. Continue learning and / or doing research til the end

truecrippler

I'd be asked nicely by local folk to give it back as it's unfair in the times of a recession.

Beechman

after colleting the cheque, pay off the car loans, credit union loan , credit cards and mortage and for once in a long time say "I owe no one"

Sabre0001

Would still work but it would be on my interests (and therefore terms). Use it for my website which would also allow me to travel around the world (thank you international tournaments!

Nice house somewhere warm and sunny.

Piss some of it away of course!

Buzzzz. Office Space. What do I win?

Black Swan

I'd buy boards.ie and become the new EVIL ADMIN, banning posters randomly just for fun!

blahblah06

id buy a huge house with lots of land and build a motocross track

sillyputty

Im not greedy, i would like to win enough to buy a car (and tax and insure it for a few years) - it doesn't even have to be new - not a fun answer i know

winston82

Id stick it all on red 32

blahblah06

ah winston ya couldnt do that when it came down to it

DonkeyStyle \o/

I'd be driven around in my '09 RR Phantom, pull up to bus stops and throw handfuls of 1 euro coins out the window at people. I'd wear a top-hat and a monocle on each eye and light my cicars with €500 notes.
Then after I've blown all my money doing that, I'd go on the dole.
Then write a book about my riches to rags story.

deadhead13

I don't get this " wouldn't give up the day job" thing. The only thing I can put it down to is a complete lack of imagination. I'd be gone in a heartbeat.

steo87

I would buy a crappy football team, install my self as manager, and lead them to championship victory. That'd be the life.

I'd buy Falkirk....trying to win the Champions League with them at the moment. Hmm I should really take a break from Football Manager....

wolfpawnat

Pay for the MIL to be put into a padded 6x3 for the rest of her days. Then the rest of it i would spend on making up for all the **** she caused for my OH and I'd still have enough left to go mental on a disney holiday with the OH and my son when he's older!

Biggins

Some things would be the norm like move out of the country to someplace like own private island (if enough money) or just some place tropical.

Other things would be illegal!

STBR

Drop from secondary school.

And use it to hire tycoons and other business advisors to help me build more online businesses.

I'd put away a lot of it for future entrepreneurship, so I could launch all the businesses I wanted in the future.

Would also take the opportunity to buy out online businesses that don't realise their full potential yet. So they would sell for less than they're worth.


Also, I would start my own lotteries anywhere I could get permission.

I'd rather own the lottery than win the lottery any day.

banquo

Cigarettes. Lots of cigarettes.

And hard drives.

dublinario

I would fulfil my dream of engineering an army of mutant, giant baboons. Not for any sinister purposes. I just need some help around the house from time to time.

Ok, if I'm honest, I might dispatch them to seize control of Dublin Castle for a few days, but that's more to expose the inadequacies of security in that area more than anything else. My mutant baboons today, but it could be Al Qaeda tomorrow, and their mutant baboons mightn't be wearing muzzles like mine. Think about it.

Your world is rather small, isnt it Blue

I would do what I normally do of an evening. Several wind downers. Order a hit on someone. Nah fück it. I will do it myself.

Leave it under mattress. Take it back out and look at. Put it back under mattress. Thats all Ive got for now, but many exciting things follow.

3 Dollar Bill

Travel the world

Sofiztikated

Immediately? I'm probably **** myself with excitement. After a change of togs, i'd go on a mad one.
After collecting it, i'd like to say i'd be sensible, but in reality, i'd be dead in a week. And poor. But i'd cause such a stir that the ****ty media would have something to keep them going for about a year! Infamy.

I would pay off any debts, the mortgage and that kind of thing for my parents. Would build the house of my Mam's dreams for her and get Dad a really nice car. Then I would make sure I have enough for my college fund and my sisters college fund (if I go back and if she wants to go!). Go on a holiday, build a recording studio and loads of audio gear for live sound. Get a lifetime's membership for a golf club! Get Man U and Galway United season tickets. Go see the New England Patriots in Foxboro. Learn to drive and buy a fancy car. Give some to charity of course.

I'm sure I could think of more...

Sharpshooter

I've always wanted to do this,so I would buy a Harley Davidson and do Route 66.

Saibh

Pay off my mortgage, travel, give some money to family and friends etc

Lilyblue

10million..would be set for life!

Love my job but would still leave in a heart beat!
Throw a huge party for family & friends
Pay mortgage
Buy a really nice car
Open a business
Take care of my family, friends & hubbys family
Travel the world with my hubby, kids & take my brother with us
Lots n lots of shopping
Put money away for my boys

Here's to dreaming....

An apartment in Manhattan, London and Dublin, a villa in the South of France or in Italy. Lots and lots of holidays and shopping trips. Give some to my family and friends. Live comfortably.

Now if only I'd actually done the lotto.

**B!ue looks at the sunny So Cal blue sky at just past 2PM Saturday afternoon and starts to pack for the beach! Happy Bunny Day Abigayle! I'll tip a Guinness in your easterly direction while I soak up the sun on Balboa beach in a few minutes. Silly ban Ireland has for drinking on Bunny Day!**:cool:

KnifeWRENCH

First thing I'd do is get it all in paper notes, pile it on my bed and roll around. Then a money fight with the family.

And then.....I dunno. Give a little to family members, a little to charity and shove the rest in the bank until I realise what I want to do with it.

yellowcurl

Ok, so did anyone actually win the lotto or is it carried over until next time??

If so, i'm running for a ticket!!! :D

You'd still need to take out a loan if you were buying an apartment in manhattan.... 10 million would enable you to have a good life as long as you don't go crazy...otherwise you could end up like these fellows

Gavin "shels"

1) Invest money into my beloved Shelbourne FC.
2) Travel the world, taking in the worlds biggest football derbies.

Damn. Reality sucks, I prefer the version in my head

sron

I'd like to becomes some sort of local eccentric. I'd just give people money to do stupid **** like race each other down the street.

I'd pay all the publicans to only serve appletinis and pay the bookies to only take bets on the Swedish curling league. Just to see how people would react.
