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

So would he, awkward

Varied

Buy an island somewhere near Thailand and build a luxury mansion along with private jet and helicopter. Employ a good few thai women to cook, clean, massage etc etc.

Make sure my mother never has to work or lift a finger again. As well as my bros and select members of family.

Buy a penthouse apartment in select capital cities around the world.

Set up my own charities for the homeless and disadvantaged children so that no money is going into some corporate fat cats pockets.

Travel the world.

If I'm the sole winner of the jackpot, whoever has thanked this post by the time of the draw, gets 1000 euro.

Hmm, interesting. Never thought of that. What exactly would a good dinosaur do? Set up charities? Build homeless shelters?

No you didn't...

I'd buy Janet Evans a "Whinger of the Year Award 1996"

I'd buy three more Gold Medals for Michelle de Bruin.

and I'd buy two gold medals for Wayne McCullough for the bravest performance I've ever seem in a boxing ring in rounds 2 & 3 of the Olympic final.

Wouldn't a Eurofighter Typhoon give you something of a rediculously unfair advantage in a game of airsoft? I'm just saying.. not very sporting 'ol chap.

Not at all, I'd simply use it for my own amusement for doing stunts and for fast travelling around the world when I feel like it. In that case I might as well get a cheaper and much more versatile Harrier since you can park one of those in your driveway!

Good idea though I could modify the Harrier by putting in airsoft / paintball Mini-Guns and paintbombs etc. And hover it over the site. But yeah a very unfair advantage.

It may have been slightly more believable (for about half a second) if you'd typed in the winning numbers on the lotto site, and took a screenshot of the "congratulations" message.

How much tax would you have to pay on 180 million.

I've a feeling you wouldn't see half of that money after tax.
If you give substanial sums to family and friends and charities, they too will also have to pay tax on their gifts.

Yeah, life's a bitch. Better not to win at all and avoid all the aggravation.

Festy

I'd give it all to charity lol

Its tax free, you get the full amount.

I wouldn't let anyone know, if crims would risk an armed robbery in a bank for 20 to 40 grand what would they do if they knew a person had 180 milllion in liquid cash.

I dont wanna check my ticket. I like to delude myself for a while longer

Wasn't won. I won a fiver though

poshea69

i don't know what i'm goin to do if i don't win it,:D

I've a very specific list of friends who will get as much as they need to end up with a million after tax. One of those friends has a baby who will need care for the rest of her life, they will get another million for their daughter. I have another friend who is undergoing treatment for cancer, she had to travel to Belfast twice a month as the drug is not licensed here, it costs her €500 each time she goes. I would cover all costs until she is better.

My family would just be "looked after".

A huge amount of it (most of it really) would go into charities, children's hospitals & hospices, autism, cystic fibrosis and drug rehab programmes.

Cars. I'd have lots of cars.

Same as most of ye, look after family, friends, fav charities etc. Id give the majority of it away, and Id be glad of the chance to do it.

Mint Sauce

Am in a work syndicate so will only be about 10 mil each.



Will still find stuff for it though. After buying my house, car, etc, go back to work part time. Buy my mum a house, pay off dads mortgage, set up little bro and sis, and about 1 mil to the Irish Cancer Socirty.

RobbingBandit

See you all on Tuesday for the €200,000,000 thread,our dreams are still alive, for now...

I've been thinking of this a lot:

I'd give my siblings €1m each, giving my parents €5m each so they can finally retire.
I'd invest money in charities like Pieta House, Jigsaw, and other ones, to try and better the mental health in this country.
I'd buy a place in London, New York and Barcelona, and my own private jet so I can move between these every so often.

No idea what I'd do with the rest, probably change a few thousand euros of it into single dollar bills, so I can fill up a swimming pool and have a dip in it. I can't imagine it'd be much fun, or safe, or hygienic for that matter, but I don't care - I'm rich, mother****er.

If I was your sibling I'd tell you to stuff your million euro up your stingy hole

Actually I wouldn't. I'd take the million and then never talk to your stingy hole again for the rest of our lives

looder

The local GAA club would get €5 million up front and i'd give them half a million a year then to run the club. Liam Sheedy would be instilled as a director of hurling within the club. Dan Breen would be back in no time!

I'd buy an apartment in six or seven major cities throughout the World.

I'd definitely wipe my arse with a couple of 50s for the craic.

I'd probably give the car an auld service too, and maybe even buy a new air freshener for it.

tony1kenobi

I'd spend every penny in researching how to remove the chip from the shoulder of every lesbian I know.

Then I'd probably f*ck them.

bluecode

Wibbs, a Stuka, no effin way. Far better and more accessible a Hurricane with a cannon. Pretty sure you'll find one somewhere.

Besides I really want an F4U Corsair. It will probably kill me but I will die happy.

Haven't checked my ticket yet, so in my mind. I'm a winner.

Please no one disillusion me.

Frynge

Get concord back flying, and all the other crap

nbar12

my mam went and bought a euromillions ticket and ended up losing it before the draw! She said that 1 and 5 were the lucky star numbers, I'm convinced we were the winners of €104,769 :pac:

nbar12

also if I won €180 million, I'd give 5 of my friends €5 million. Then each one of us would buy a league of Ireland club and have a real life game of football manager! First one to get into the Champions League wins!

TeddyTedson

Am I the only one that has resorted to practically anything to win this cash. I'm even trying cosmic ordering...

JJJJNR

keep my car, keep my house, buy a nice place in Alcudia/London. Don't think I'd give my family a lump sum, I would pay their mortgages, and have a trust fund for their and my children's third level education, would support home help charities, Local St. Vincent de Paul, local schools, and families with sick children, setup a youth club.

They do alot of security checks so if someone hands it in you might get your money so how. Not sure how it works, but some fella in the UK tried to claim a winning price of a million, turned out he told some granny she didn't win when he was working in a shop and she asked him to scan the ticket.

He said it was not a winner and took it himself, tried claiming and camel wouldn't give him the price as he didn't know where the ticket was bought, which was a Tesco Extra in England, they must have looked at the CCTV or something. Anyway the granny got her million in the end.

One does not pay tax on lotto winnings in Ireland.

Face Kicker.

I'd travel the world and kick people in the face.

Welcome back!

I would buy all my family and very close friends a car, taxed and insured, and pay off their debts.. I would buy my sister a house and pay for her wedding.. I would pay off my friends mortgage..

I would set up a counselling service for women in Ireland who have had abortions and don't have any access to aftercare, I would invest in Limerick and try to create some work down here, set up charities and organisations to help young people get a qualification or a trade, teaching them programming or games development, or something so they see that there is a life out there for them, and have a scholarship fund for them to go to college.. I would invest in local businesses, find a few senior advertisers and set up a company which they will run, and will hire graduates to help advertise all the companys I invest in on a global scale.

I would donate enough to LAW so that they would have enough to buy a site and never have to turn away another animal.

I would buy myself a house, maybe go on a holiday or two, and then go back to college, because being able to do that without having the added stress of working and paying rent is my dream. :-)

Fratton Fred

Just to show off how wealthy I am, I would commission lots of very random, very crap pieces of art and place them, at great expense, at pointless places along our motorway network.

Edit: forget that, apparently some twat has beaten me to it.

theg81der

When I win I`m gonna share it with my family, buy stuff, think about what I need to live and administer the rest as a charity - maybe set up an orphanage in a country where children need help. There is no real help needed here I think.

Vicar in a tutu

I'd be so overwhelmed with all that money :pac:

Would give a bit to charity. ( good deed:pac:)
Buy a house.
Give a bit to family.
Spend the rest on curly wurlys.

Nux

Won €16 quid. Set for life, now to live of the interest.

Ghandee

Build a very nice house, surrounded by lush gardens, lakes and beautiful scenery (yes, in Ireland)

Friends and family would be well looked after

See all the places in the world I've not yet seen, the poles being first, Brazil next, then a few islands in the south Pacific.

Finally buy the car I've dreamed about from i was knee high.

Helicopter with personal pilot.

live happy ever after.

Ahhhhhhhh i cant imagine what i would do either if i suddently had that much!

TeddyTedson

Now it's near 200million tomorrow night folks.
Don't forget to buy your tickets.
One line with plus is only 3 euro;)

If I win I'll be throwing a party for AH in Fibbers with free drink for the whole weekend, because I reckon a fair few of yous vacate that place fairly regularly.

If everyone wishes really hard that I win it might just come true.
