Irish person wins €115m in Euromillions

[eirebhoy]

Lucky Gits.

[Neish]

Aye saw it on the news

113m I think. heard it was thought to be sold in Limerick.

[jofyisgod]

Cúnts! I went for that, i would have been set for life :cool:

Maybe next time...

[Poor Student]

That'd automatically make them one of the 100 richest in Ireland I think. :eek:

[Neish]

Heard on the news that she'll earn close to €8,000 per day on interest alone. Some McNamarra woman from Limerick.

[Poor Student]

She wouldn't mind pumping some money into her local eL club would she? :D

[sligoman]

That'd automatically make them one of the 100 richest in Ireland I think. :eek:

Yeah, it said on RTE that she is now 17th on the Irish rich list. Even richer than Roy Keane and Colin Farrell put together :eek:. Also, it said in one of the papers that she has something like 11 more million than the Beckhams have.(:eek: again,lol) :D

Funny - thinking along the same lines - I was wondering was the winner an EL Fan. :D

[Babysis]

fair play to her. i just hoep she spends it well and enjoys it. :)

I think it's more like 77th. The papers seem to have her life story all over the papers today. Her letter box will be jammed with spam begging mail by Tuesday. I'd keep it a closely guarded secret if I won it.

True...you don't have her address do you? ;) :D

[sylvo]

Fair play too her.

[colblimp]

fair play to her. i just hoep she spends it well and enjoys it. :)

Surely she'll never be able to spend that amount of money? €9,000 interest per day. That's €3,000,000 per year!! :eek:

[Peadar]

i just hoep she spends it well and enjoys it. :)

So long as she doesn't invest in Limerick feckin' FC we'll be ok. :D

[pineapple stu]

Read in one of the tabloids that her nephew is in jail for murder in the Kieran Keane case. Limerick's warring drug-dealing clans getting E113m! :eek: Heard she's left the country as well. Can't blame her! Ridiculous amount of money to win in one go though - could just as easily ruin your life...

[paul_oshea]

did anyone see the picture of her and her friends?

[Neish]

did anyone see the picture of her and her friends?

Yeah, but whats your point? (Planning a hit or something)

[Neish]

I'd give a damn good try if it were me

You were born in Limerick weren't you? Maybe she's your 10th cousin twice removed or something, get onto her. ;)

[Aberdonian Stu]

Even though it's a lot of money the odds are she'll be placed higher than she should on the rich list, largely because they usually underestimate people's wealth by quite a bit, while in her case it's fairly clear what she's worth.

[pineapple stu]

Apparently she has to pay tax on that? Would be at 47% including PRSI. Would still leave a nice bit left over though!

The rich lists are complete nonsense, incidentally. Having clients at work who are/should be on those kind of lists (there are others as well, like the 1000 biggest companies in Ireland, etc.), I have to have a good laugh whenever I read through them!

[tetsujin1979]

As far as I know it is tax free

[sligoman]

See the papers are saying that she is related to the Keane family in Limerick :rolleyes: . For **** sake, who cares? Leave the woman alone, she won and fair play to her ;)

[dahamsta]

Apparently she has to pay tax on that? Would be at 47% including PRSI.Dunno how you figured that out. It looks like you're calculating it using PAYE + PRSI, but PAYE is calculated on earnings (hence the E) and PRSI is pay-related (hence the PR). This is a windfall or capital acquisition, from which lotteries are exempt.

I think in the US one pays 50% or thereabouts when one wins the various lotteries over there. Also, the tax is reduced if one accepts the winnings over a long period. It's something like that anyway.
Whatever the rights or wrongs of winning a large sum of money - I feel that if one is a 50 million winner then one wins 50 million - in the US a 50 million winner wins 25 million.
I thought that there was a law/rule or whatever covering misleading advertising??? :confused: How can a 50 million lottery be promoted as such when one only wins half of it??? :confused:

Of course, one (:D) is open to correction on any - or all - of the above

[pineapple stu]

That's what I was thinking alright. Had heard there was tax payable. Hardly makes much difference though - even E70m is nice! :)

[Lionel Ritchie]

AFAIK she's liable for all taxes applicable to the interest earned by the prize money -but nought on the prize money itself.

[Green Tribe]

we shouldn't be so bitter, nice to see someone from home winning it, and i really hope it went to someone who really needed some money and that it improves her and her family's life, not cause rows or splits like i have read in previous cases. I have no doubt she will donate some to charity etc also in ireland and abroad.
