The winner must be taking his time before showing up. It will be nice to plan first before claiming the prize. There were times when the winner gets so excited in claiming prizes he end up buying unnecessary things. So let's give the winner time to thingk but I hope the winner will not let his ticket expire.

Wake up with a hangover from hell and no idea where your ticket has got to.

Paul Holland, barman at O'Looney's pub, said whoever the winner is, the town will be celebrating.

That's what I like about Irishmen.

Anything that happens, the whole town gets together and gets drunk.

The lotteries can afford to publish a guide/roadmap for winners not legal advice, and hand them out with the check, so that if you squander your loot, you have nobody but yourself to blame. A million does not go as far as it used to.

Haha, yea I have read quite a few stories where lottery winners go broke. One guy won like 2M and thought he was all of a sudden a huge winner spending it on cars and even trying to start his music career and he went bust and sold his story to the newspaper.

Another guy bought loads of cars and smashed them up driving them into each other and drugs etc and now he works for 300 GBP a week since he went broke.

Another girl won like 1.5M and went broke from drugs and stuff like that

In Europe they are so jumpy about claiming a jackpot quickly. Then they always complain that their lottery winners go broke.
