    But if you really won the lotto ( just say €10,000,000 ) whats the first thing you would buy and where would you move to?

    I'd just give it straight to brian lenihan to save myself some time.

    First thing I would buy - a large Tesco sushi box for the lady (A "you had to be there" type gift...) Then of course treat her like a princess
    For myself, prolly a nice long holiday (haven't been on a proper one in around 10 years!) followed by a ****load of gadgets (maybe build a new pc to replace this overheating POS laptop)

    I wouldn't move anywhere in the immediate future tbh, I only moved a few weeks ago and absolutely adore my new flat... I would just take a few months to find my dream property to purchase

    Same as about most people:

    A good sized house in vic Atherton.

    A relatively expensive car.

    A good, single-engined airplane. Something a little higher than a 182, but not to the level of a twin. That said, I did notice some ex Irish Air Corps (Still in Irish colours) SF260s on sale in Los Angeles area on Trade-a-plane for about $160,000 apiece. Hmm...Get both?

    A crapload of stock. (They're a little undervalued right now, I think).

    Multiple rifles, reloading equipment, and a shotgun.

    Some land in the country, in case of zombie invasion. See also multiple rifles, reloading equipment and shotgun.

    Drop a quarter mil to the Littlefield Foundation

    See what I can do about investing the rest.

    NTM

    Within the hour of collecting the win I'd be leaving Ireland for good never to return... I doubt the rest would interest you.

    I'd go on a mad spending buzz, clothes,cars,holidays for about a month.
    Make sure my family were sorted.
    Then move to somewhere hot and lovely..maybe rural Ibiza or something.
    Take time to work on everything I've been too poor/busy to do or have, i.e buy a horse, look after and ride it on my land :), morning swims, personal chef,personal trainer,daytime sex, cocktail parties on the veranda with all my mates..

    hang on is that pushing the boat out a bit?

    I have it all planned.

    A decent amount to each of my close family and after that:

    A nice country pile in Ireland with horses, games room, swimming pool, gym, all that.

    A Landrover, a BMW M3 and a Lambo Gallardo (one for roughing it on the pile, one for everyday use and one for fun).

    Apartments in Shanghai, New York and Paris

    A house in Queenstown, New Zealand.

    A small airplane.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,157 ✭✭✭✭Alanstrainor


    I'd probably buy a deadly boat, nothing too massive, and a ferrari F40, Ariel Atom and a Bmw M5. And to top it all off i'd buy some savage place to live, not too sure where....but meh.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭[-0-]


    A huge house on several acres overlooking a lake. I would keep horses on the land.
    A substantial amount to immediate Family members.
    Bring my mates on a round-the-world cruise.
    Buy a 09 Audi a4 TDI, and a top of the range sports car (undecided as of yet).
    Keep the rest and live off the interest.

    Cancerous midgets?


  • Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    cancerous child midgets.. they'd be about 6 inches tall. the shot glass would look like a pint for them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,008 ✭✭✭LimeFruitGum


    Hm... I actually like my job and wouldn't like to give it up just because I won the lotto. Dilemma! :D

    I'd probably do the sensible thing like clear my credit card, have a chat with the accountant about making sure I would be financially sorted for life.

    But I'd definitely like to travel and get a nice 2nd gaff somewhere. Preferably un posh appartement en Paris. :)

    Winning the Lotto would be totally wasted on you. It sounds like your idea of a wild weekend is changing to spearmint flavoured toothpaste...

    I'd join the P1 club and snort coke off a bewildering array of supermodels. I'd rent an apartment in a different European city every few months and live out my days driving, touring and partying until I got old or my liver failed...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 113 ✭✭nehpets5555


    first thing id do is pay off my parents and grandparents morgages/debts . then id buy a house in USA, not sure where, maybe san diego or florida. then id buy a nice reasonabley priced car. Id then invest some of it in stock and give to money to charity. Oh also, id buy me some new guitars/amps :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I would have doubled my money backing Dublin to beat Kerry today........that would have been a mistake on mature recollection.:o

    *lol* Spearmint was too cray-zaaaay for me, I'm back on the Aquafresh! ;);)

    I'd prefer bank it for a while til I get my head around the surprise of winning :-) But that's just me being ancient and sensible ;-)
    You go & snort away :cool:

    I'd offer life changing financial assistance to some people who could really use it. The only problem would be deciding who to help.

    No one really needs millions, in most cases these people who win the lotto go broke.

    Of course there are some material possessions I'd like but at the end of the day I really don't need them.

    I would sort out my family first, then donate some to a few chairties. With the rest, I would buy a holiday house somewhere nice and a few sweet cars. Probably try and buy boards.ie too lol.
