If you played online and won the jackpot, do they still announce where the winner came from?

I was wondering how that works too. This time last year, I won about €2000 on the Lotto website, but didn't realise it until I got a claim form in the post. (I probably got the usual e-mail "News from your Lotto account" but assumed I'd won €3).

I'd like to be a feared multi millionaire. That way you could occasionally laugh maniacally in the media to let every know you have the power and money to keep am eye on them.

I'm hearing the winner is from Drumcondra. Former public servant, has asked for the whole amount in cash, sterling and dollar denominations, as he has no bank account.

Poor lad, sounds like he could do with the money. Well done to him and, I'm guessing, his hard to do family.

Lotto wins. Winning five figure sums on the horses.

Seems to be a bit of a lucky chap.

In this day in age ot still takes a week to get all the various EU lottery companies to send the money to Ireland so that it can be paid to the winner - joke.

If the above is true (wanting it in cash) yikes - that brings a whole host of other security issues.

One of them is in work at the minute walking around with his head in his hands. His bro did the night shift last night!!! Seriously couldn't have happened to a nicer family, they've had a tough few years. Delighted for them.

It'a actually a good thing that the winner/s have to wait about 10 working days before they see the loot in their accounts.

Is playing the lotto online still considered as gambling by banks?

Doesn't make much of a difference tbh. Anything they want now they could get on credit.

You can pay €10 into the cinema and be entertained for a few hours. You can do a line of the Euromillions €2.5 and daydream all week about what your gonna do with it. Values in doing the lotto for entertainment

It's the Rogers and Whearty families from naul/bellewstown to be precise. Nice family. One of the lads wives divorced him last year. I'd say she's sick.

Oh the shame, not even proper Irish with foreign sounding names like those.

Not a chance of staying anonymous in a small town and posts on FB like that.

If won 175 million I wouldn't burden any family or friends with cash gifts.

It could only cause them hassle with tax.

Instead I'd treat everybody to a nice lamb lunch.

Still wouldn't be enough to build even a single ward in the new Children's Hospital...

Was just thinking so this morning.

Most of us have been trying to grapple with what an enormous amount of money it would be - yet shrug our shoulders at an overspend on the National Children's Hospital, which is multiples of that amount.

You'd have to win this Euromillions jackpot three times over to pay for the overspend on the hospital, and it probably won't stop at that.

As far as I know, so long as you write down names on the back of the ticket you can decide how to distribute the money - tax free.

You have to laugh though, apparently, the family syndicate are all retired and say they don't want the win to change their lives! Why do the feckin thing then?

Damn I might try begging some money off them, they wouldn't miss a few hundred grand.

Itssoeasy

How many people did the lotto tonight after the win last night ? When it's a big amount I'll do it myself online and do both euromillions and lotto for the Tuesday and Wednesday of that week.

is the euromillions draw broadcast on live on TV?

Good question. I don't know if it is. If it is I've never seen it on tv.

If people stop posting in this thread it won't be the latest post on the home page. I don't think there is a way to block seeing threads but I'm sure a mod could tell you for definite.

That bugs me too.

If I win the lottery and someone asks me an inane question like “will it change your life” I’ll look at them scornfully for a full 3 seconds and then say that: “Of course it will, you plonker. It’s 20 odd million. Do you think I’m taking the dart to connnolly tomorrow. You quarterwit”.

(Except I wouldn’t tell anybody. Haha.)

How can winning that much combined not change a families life ? They might hope it doesn't but it will have to.
