Euromillions - What would you do

TeddyTedson

The jackpot tonight is an estimated 180 million euro. I can't imagine having that much money but I'd sure like to give it a try. I've bought my two euro plus lines and all I can do now is wait.
If I was to win I'd start buying a few businesses I have an interest in. Create jobs and all that.
I'd buy a penthouse in Dublin. A nice big one that could accommodate 8 strippers and myself.
I'd pay off all my families mortgages and give them a few quid to set themselves up.
I'd try buy boards too
Ms America time. I'd give a lot to charity too, but none of the ones where the ceo is on a ridiculous amount.
I'd open a nightclub too. Drinks would be well priced and the music would be good. But not so loud that nobody can hear a damn thing. I'd have a balcony for me above the dance floor and I'd send a body guard down to fetch any lovely girl that I spot that make like to meet Teddy.
I'd buy copper face jacks and shut it down.
... Anyway have to stop dream and go back to work now.

Where To

I'd repent and thank The Lord Jesus Christ. . . . .


















because I never buy Euromillions

If it's an Irish winner Phil Hogan would have legislation changed by lunchtime and take most it

I'd buy 18,000,000,000 cola bottle sweets.

My friends always say "99's all round when we win euromillions". Or as they call them "prize-creams"

If you didn't use a calculator to count the zeros I'm very impressed.

Finance investigations into top people in this state that FG and Labour won't do!

Top of the list?

Mr Ahern.

MaxSteele

Set up my parents for the rest of they're lives.

Help a few close friends and relatives out too.

Then I'd probably buy a strip of beach and set up a bar on it somewhere in the Bahamas. Wouldn't buy loads of properties though. Just rent the best of the best wherever I go.

What will you do with the begging letters?

Well firstly give your postman and the local postmistress something for their extra work

But are you going to read the hundreds or thousands of begging letters? Hire someone to sort them?
Ignore them? Burn them?

I'm a sucker for the sob story, hand me my cheque book

Sheep Shagger

Clear the mortgage along with the mortgages of my 10 closest mates.

Put the rest in the bank so it earns interest whilst heading for a holiday and decide what to do with

Ah awoke my dream - back to work

Biggins

180 million euro?
At least give...
5 Million to the Crumlin Childrens Hospital.
5 Million to The National Rape Crises Centre.

I can only dream of winning it...
(Yes', I've bought a ticket)

Chips Lovell

Its way too much for anyone, at least for me. I'd keep a bit and give the rest away to worthy causes, like the Merchants Quay Project or the Simon Community.

Vegas Baby, €180,000,000 on 13 Black.

I agree, money doesn't buy happiness.



On the other hand it does buy sex. . . . . . .

I remember the good old days when you used to comment on how polite my PMs were. What happened

thefishone

1. Tell no one
2. Open foreign bank account.
3. Collect check.
4. Disappear to foreign country.

take family.......mustn't forget family....otherwise the might
find out and take half.:D

cena

I would be out of this country so fast and saying hello new york. I would also help out some familys around the area that need money for there kids.

foxyboxer

Buying a Euromillions ticket is simply buying a daydream.

You get to imagine what you would do with the money you won't win.

Mr.Crinklewood

Buy Today FM and hire a new presenter for the 0900-1200 slot.

Be warned (found this out myself though getting divorced) - even though they can take 50% for thats the law in regard to marriage, etc, AFTERWARDS of your legal divorce, if you win, they can still take 50% of your savings interest if they wished to.

Its just a loophole in Irish law that apparently has yet to be closed - it has never been used as far as I know, anyway.

...But if someone in the world won massive money, lord knows, there might be another ex-half which might try such a legal stunt! :pac:

touts

Get it immediately out of Euro and into something like Swiss Franc.

Hire some lads to go across the border, grab Peter Quinn and leave him with a big bow on the steps of Garda HQ.

Hitmen exist for situations such as this,if I faced the possibility of losing €90,000,000 I would hire the ****ing guy who shot Bin Laden for €40,000,000.

fishy fishy

keep 5 million
give the rest away

that amount of money is not meant for one or two or ten persons

Just to be clear: your ex-partner would still be able to still claim 50% of your winnings interest - not 50% of the principle amount.

Scioch

Facekicker the movie !

mikemac1

Family reunion, big party

As I'd be meeting relations that I never even knew existed :rolleyes:

preddy

Wouldn't even pay my mortgage id be long gone and since id now be rich they would just write off the money and post me a rolex!

Jaysus, I'd hate to be your 11th closest mate.

davet82

I'd become a tax exile :cool:

RoyalMarine

id spend about 50 million setting family and friends up.

would put 20 million to charities. not the loser ones. the decent ones.

Id put another 20 million into a private funding for business start up in my local area. since the options available now are so low.

the rest, id invest 10 million in a few businesses and id probably take a long long long vacation with close family/friends.

still leaving me with 100 million, i think id probably just leave it in a bank, and use the interest to help people who genuinely need it. like students who have no financial assistance and who are dedicated to actually get through college and not just drink all the time.

buying my ticket at 5pm.

Richard Hillman

You may have to have some laws changed first.
Still would love to see what they can be charged with.

RayM

I'd seriously consider signing off the dole.

NegativeCreep

I'd most likely end up like Hans Kristian Rausing, without the dead wife.
I'd shut myself off from the world and take ALL the drugs. At least for a month anyhow :L

After that I'd buy a giraffe because I love them. And I'd buy a house just for my dog cause I think she'd get annoyed if I didn't.
I'd buy a huge apartment in Dublin City Centre with a roof and pool so that I could have roof-pool parties.
Then I'd buy a house for every member of my family in their desired location. That'd be it I think.
Also, I'd travel to Africa and do charitable things myself because I don't trust proper charities with my money!!

31 posts and no "Lotto is a tax on the stupid?" Wow ! :eek:

My workplace is struggling, so I'd buy the place up and make sure everyone is looked after.


Ha! Good lie, I'd be out of here as fast as my lanky legs could take me.

Paddysnapper

What will you do with the begging letters?


Still keep writing them:)

Unless you had a good knowledge of the field, odds are you'd run it poorly and jobs would be lost.

Better maybe to pick one field and concentrate on that one, then sure you'll grow it.

I'd put 50 mill into a long-term deposiot somewhere, and live off the interest.

The other 100mill i'd blow on mindless ****e.

First thing would be to find an obliging solicitor who would back date an agreement stating that my family spend €10pw on Euromillions, to which I contribute €5 and my daughter, brother and 3 sister's put in €1 each, and any prize money is divided accordingly. I get €90m and the rest get €18m each. Would not be strictly legal, and would make yer mans garlic scam look like childs play, but could you imagine the tax bill if you tried to gift your family €90m ? :eek: After that, buy an apartment on The World and just chill for a year or two.

conorhal

I'm a huge movie buff, so I'd use the money finance and produce two or three movies based on books or scripts that I loved, but which otherwise might not get made, or might get made but would probably end up mangled to suit crass commercial interests.
I'd use the money to become the next Saul Zaentz, a producer renound for respecting artistic integrity and producing quality films that didn't insult an audiences intelligence. It would be nice to be able to say to an artist like Terry Gilliam for example, ‘go, make whichever movie you want to make next and make it the way you want to.’
Hell, even if the two or three movies tanked horribly and crushed my dream into dust with each film only making a couple of million at the box office, it’s a worst case scenario that would still leave me rich enough to slink off somewhere to sulk about how modern cinema audiences are all stupid popcorn grazing troglodytes while I count my remaining millions.

cocoshovel

I'd donate a large portion of it to organisations like the RNLI, coastguard etc.
