Yes yes! I just didn't know who, or where it was won, I do remember the part about the bicycle.

I agree! Half a million can provide long-term financial security, if managed properly. However, if the winner goes on a spending spree, the money and the long-term financial security disappear.

Money is a tool, and managed properly a fantastic tool.

That's probably the best way to go about it, don't really change you life that much and just buy small stuff and get accustomed to having the money.

What is wrong with a bicycle?? I may replace my Trek with a newer model if I win. A bicycle is much more expensive than a shower door. In fact you could remodel that entire bathroom cheaper than some of the high end bikes.

If that picture is truly his shower

I'm going to take the absurdly dangerous risk of assuming that a guy who is remaining anonymous didn't invite the lottery over to take a picture of a shower door he's going to buy. OTOH, I suppose that's no less bizarre than including a generic picture of a shower door in the story.

At least it wasn't a bicycle

If that picture is truly his shower, he is doing better than the average citizen. Was expecting to see something decrepit looking.

But he did say that he lives a simple life so he sounds like a frugal chap.

Congratulations !!! Irish words and phrases are like Greek to me. Even though I do have Irish blood in my veins.

Half a million is more there than here in the US, but still not wealthy. Glad to see he's a practical down-to-earth guy. Bet we won't see him on any I won the lottery and now I'm broke shows.

Congratulation to the winner. He wants to keep his life simple. Since he claimed the money anonymous, it could happen.

A man from west Dublin, Ireland, has described winning 500,000 in the EuroMillions multi-country game as a pleasant shock .

He was the sole winner of the EuroMillions Plus 500,000 top prize in last Friday's draw.

EuroMillions Plus is an add-on game played only in Ireland that enters the first five numbers on your EuroMillions game ticket in a special Plus drawing held in Ireland the same evening. Adding EuroMillions Plus costs an extra 1 over the regular cost of a EuroMillions ticket.
