    I would buy a few houses and appartmets, and stuff for my family and cars. I would then leave home and plan to live by muself for ever.

    i would prob spend a day going to different ATMs and getting a reciept and leaving it in the machine, for the next people to have a look at

    I'd buy Messi for Celtic.

    Seriously though, I'd take 20-30 of my mates on holiday for a month to Barbados. And if their employers don't give them the time off, I'll pay their wages until they get a new job!

    I'd buy a rocket car and a solid gold house.

    Such obv bullsh1t.

    Throwing the whole handfull of pocket change into the bucket rather than filtering out the copper is about as close to 'donating to charity' as they'll get.
    I'm not saying it'd be a large wad :)

    Depends on the size of the win.

    There is a large difference in 6 mil and 60 mil

    There's f_all different between 6 mil and 60 mil in terms of what you'll ever need in life.

    600,000 would do me to have me set up for life regardless of what Clown & Co impose on us.

    I'd give substantial amount to charity. Euromillions I'd set up some kind of drop in center for the homeless. Not sure a million would get me that but maybe......

    Tonights lotto:
    Give money to charity as above, at least 1 million. Buy my mam and dad, mam and dad in law, new houses, give my sister, sisters and brother in law a big chunk towards new houses. And buy myself a nice big house (4 bed detached would do me fine) and a new car. Have a nice long holiday :)

    Help all of my friends out with a few bob to take the pressure off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,745 ✭✭✭laugh


    Look after my mother, sister and maybe my father. Sort out a few close mates.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    I wouldn't do anything spectacular with the money except invest most of it, buy a few good cars and houses in 4 different countries and probably a small plane.

    600K is whay you will need as a decent pension by the time you reach retirement age, assuming you are in your 20's now taking inflation and other factors into account.

    600,000 thousand is a nice amount of money, yes its alot, but absolutley not "set me up for life" money.

    600,000 will on average be worth only 60k in 35 years time, provided you spend only the interest and none of the original sum

    It's enough to guarantee a roof over your head for the rest of your life, that'd be enough for some people.

    a roof is no good if you cant afford medical care or..food.

    First class flight to Vegas, hotel Suite, new Italian suit, escorts etc.

    Freeganism would take care of your culinary needs (though it's yucky), or you could subsistance farm in the big garden you may get with your €600k house. As for medical care... um... ah, you'd just die in agony over some trivial infection.

    Seen a BBC doc a few weeks ago where top chef's were asked to make 5* meals from disgarded food they could find. TBH it was an eye opener what they could do, cant think of the name of the show, but all food sourced had to be taken from skips, bins or food that was not for sale because of a dent in the can or because the carrot looked more like a potato!

    €150,000 will do that!!!!

    The other €450,000 is plenty for me to live on for 20 years, and add in some "so that I don't lose my sanity" work, then happy days.

    I'll agree that there's a difference between that and 6 mil, but the main part of my post already pointed that out.....I said there was "f_all different between 6 mil and 60 mil in terms of what you'll ever need in life.

    So 600,000 = relax and be choosy what you work at.

    2,000,000 - 6,000,00 is set up for life with no work.

    Anything more = a waste, and 60,000,000 would hopefully be shared between 20 or so people so that lots of people (families) had improved lives.

    What would you do If you Won the Lottery?
    Depends on the amount of cash, I'd probably buy an iPad if I won a small amount. If it was something like 20.000.000+ I'd be on my way to Barbados or Jamaica by now. I'd buy a nice house there and spend rest of my days surfing, fishing, sailing, diving and searching for pieces of eight.

    However, as it won't happen, I have to go and iron my work trousers, so they are ready for tomorrow morning...

    I think a holiday of at least a month would be required with maybe a couple of grand spending cash. The winnings would have to be put in a place where they cant be touched for the duration of the holiday so plenty of thought could be given to how it would be spent or invested

    That is actually what the National Lottery advises you do when you win the Lotto!
    Seems that you are good lotto winning potential!

    Even if you could afford that, why would you want a player like him wasting his career at Celtic?

    It's like buying the Mona Lisa and putting it in your toilet.

    Ive day dreamed about this so many times.

    Id give some to family. Then bring all my friends on a big holiday first class. That way i give them all the same thing so no arguments (hopefully).
    Then id buy a business, probably a pub or a recording studio or something. And pay someone to run it mostly with me popping in every now and then to check on things and drink free beer/play with the instruments.
    Oh yeah, id buy all the guitars/drumsets/amps that i want :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,885 ✭✭✭Optimalprimerib


    either a million euro hooker or a million euro hookers. Depending on whether i want quality over quantity


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    I'd buy a few politicians, or maybe a political office itself.

    Then I'd invest in loads of property, and wipe my arse with fifty euro notes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,473 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    We had a discussion on this at work that no one could spend €130 million if they won it in the euromillions.
    I disagreed saying this is how I'd start.

    1. Buy House/Apartment in the top 10 cities in the world with another 3-4 in the wilderness - Estimated cost- €30 million
    2- Obviously a jet - Learjet currently around €10 million to buy so let's say €12 million including fees.
    3- A boat or two- Another €5-10 million so that's €50 million so far :)
    Obviously you need a car in the big city so that's another €10 million including parking etc.
    4- Security- You're a target now, between you and your family security 24/7 would cost maybe €5 million a year...we don't want any scumbag bouncers here...only the best ex SAS/Delta Force need apply :)
    5 - For immediate family - €10 million.Friends- €2 million between them..Total €12 million

    So far that's €77 million spent to far...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,419 ✭✭✭allanb49


    Was just thinking of this, this morning.

    1. Buy a house
    2. Dream Holiday
    3. Buy a house for the mammy
    4. Donate money to childrens hospital/charity
    5. Buy laptops for my secondary school
    6. Setup a shop i've always wanted to have.
