What would you do if you won a huge amount of money in the Lotto?

Goafer

Like Dolores Mcnamara in Limerick. Say, you won €100 million .
What's the first thing you would do / buy ??
Would you give any to charity?

I would buy a mansion in Monaco and a private yacht and a private plane, possibly cessna citation and keep it in Weston.

Add: that would prob earn about a grand a week interest .. I'd give that to charity by direct debit along with regular lump sums.

Kenno90

I'd buy a lot of crap sure, but i'd get the most satisfaction from helping out friends and family, telling them they'll never have to work again

My name is URL

Two chicks at the same time, man.

Biggins

Start an independent investigation unit.

saiint

First and foremost, sort out the friends and family.

Break up with the girlfriend or make her agree to me having sex with thousands of beautiful gold diggers.

Hire the best mate to party with me for the rest of our lives.

SORTED

Where do you draw the line with that though?
'Ah cousin Nico here's 2 million quid. Cousin Albert you can stay the f*ck down the mines.'

The_B_Man

I wrote this app to do just that!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eoinzy.lotto

But so far it hasn't won me anything. Got 50 euro in May, but nowhere near enough to get me that yacht in Monaco. Turns out its hard to win the lotto!

keano_afc

I'd build my own Hadron Collider, and every now and again release a press release along the lines of "hold on, I might have found something..."

Nothingbetter2d

if i won a substantially large amount (euromillions)

step one - open a swiss bank ac

step two - move 90% of the winnings to the swiss bank ac and let it gather interest safely in the knowledge that if the euro fails/devalues my fortune wont get wiped out

step three - pay off any outstanding bills for me and my family

step four - book a year long holiday travelling around the world.. i'd bring a special someone with me of course

step five - buy a nice new car

step six - build my own home

Sleepy

Approach a charity with the offer of a €10million donation if they'll do publicity saying I gave them €90m (to get the targets off mine and my families backs).

Buy a site and commission an architect and builders for a large family home with an underground pool in Clontarf.

Take care of some family and friends.

Charter a plane for a massive blow out holiday for my friends.

Bring the kids to Florida to do Disneyland, Universal Studios etc.

LaVail

I'd buy the Betty Ford clinic for later down the line when I hit rock bottom.

nope but i'd would be sensible about it... euro is going down the pan and to be honest would you trust any irish bank with such a large sum of money?

Elvis_Presley

not shout it out down the pub when pi*sed!

Give most of it away, not worth the hassle once you have enough to be comfortable. Every c*nt wanting something. Not knowing if people are genuine or just after your money.

Something similar but not Korea and before that I'd take my mates for trip by private jet to Oslo, Milan and Berlin for the the weekend.

Conall Cernach

Does anyone remember a couple of years ago the British MOD were selling off some massive underground bunker? I'd buy something like that and kit it out like Khazad Dum from The Lord of the Rings and sit on a big throne like some king under the mountain type.

davet82

I'd pay off some of Anglo's debt with it...


:P

Party-time! WOOT WOOT!

frag420

100 mil you say................

well for the heck of it I would do a 1 mil quick pick in the following weeks euro milions for the heck of it.

I would then run down grafton st bollock naked (its a deal I have with friends if I won)

I would look after close family and friends and for all the rest of them throw one hella big shindig somewhere for a week.

Box at White Hart Lane for me and the ould man.

A good donation to local charites at home.

zzzzzzz

gold house and rocket car for me.

Stiffler2

I would buy a farm, feed the cattle laxatives, collect the diarrhoea.
Purchase a jet or helipcopter and a massive bucket.

I'd build an underground mansion. It would look like a regular nice enough 400-500k home from the outside but inside it would be like an underground city.

And I'd have a batcave type entrance complete with movable shrub for when I need a quick getaway.

ruthloss

Go shopping on Grafton Street and do a 'Pretty Woman' on their snooty asses!:D

JohnMarston

Make sure my family is financially set up and well looked after

Take the population of After Hours on a night out

Buy one of the many ghost estates and set it up like a real life game of monopoly, painted to the correct colours, community chests, a banker, massive dice, pass go, the works.

Buy a monopoly guy suit (tail coat and monocle and twirly mustache) and get some friends to play the first game there with me.
Set it up as an attraction where people can come, get in costume, and play it like a proper game.

Should that venture fail, just invite everyone to come and help me bulldoze the estate down.

Build a cinema in my home town. Always wanted one there growing up.

A rivendell style house from Lord of the Rings, in my patch of forest that i would buy.

Keep the rest for a rainy day

Kev_2012

After getting f*cked up drunk on Champagne, buying a Ferrari and going everywhere on earth?

Probably get some stunner of a bird and an aphrodisiac mad from the pockets of the pocket fox. A species which existed for exactly 3 weeks.

christmas2012

I would get robot servants,those cute little japanese dog robots and have some high tea with posh scones,clotted cream and blueberry jam..

Then i would buy a mansion,buy three guard dogs,2 cats and a chauffer..

Go to vegas and do the vegas thing just cos i can..

Tzar Chasm

buy some Islands, leave one as a nature reserve and build an eviloverlord type city/base on the other one, complete with light rail, nuclear power station, communications array, doomsday weapon, environmentaly sustainable farm, and an army of minions.

Shenshen

Got that all worked out.
I would buy a big house with a lot of ground, preferably near enough town.
I would then get together with an animal charity (already know which one), and offer them the use of some of the house, and the grounds for the animals.
The house would have to have two wings, or a set of outbuildings for just that purpose. We'd live in one half, the animals in the other.

I would then open a restaurant and cooking school, just for the fun of it. And just take it from there.

I would get Sky Movies

SEPT 23 1989

Charter a 50ft yacht and sail around the world drunk

Dr.Silly

If I won 100 million,

I'd give everyone in Greece 1 million (that's 12 million gone),
I'd give everyone in Spain 1 million (that's say 50 million)
I'd give everyone in Portugal 1 million (another 12 million)

so that's 74 million spent.

I'd move to the bahamas with the rest in cash, and watch total turmoil unfold on sky news (on my 102 " flatscreen) !!!
