An Irish winner has just won the biggest ever EuroMillions prize, netting a massive £208 million.
It means the lucky individual will rocket into the ranks of the global elite overnight – although they still wouldn't have enough cash to enter the UK's rich list, which makes you think.
The winning EuroMillions ticket has not yet been claimed.
But we thought we'd get started with a shopping list in the meantime, so they have some ideas of what they could buy once their National Lottery win reaches their bank account.
Some options would take up all of the cash (custom-made superyachts don't come cheap, never mind the running), while others would leave plenty leftover for champagne.
The winner would have more than enough money to get into prime real estate in Ireland.
Last year, Ballynatray House in Co Waterford sold with a record price tag of around €30 million.
It is thought to have been bought by vacuum billionaire James Dyson, so maybe he could become the Lottery winner's new neighbour.
Last year, the Amazon founder reportedly treated himself to a Gulfstream G700 private jet.
Sleeping up to eight people in ergonomic seats that convert to beds, it offers a 'whisper⁠-⁠quiet cabin with 100% fresh, plasma⁠-⁠ionized air replenished every two to three minutes'.
Bezos is thought to have three other jets, and with this EuroMillions win, the lucky player could buy themselves three as well. If they don't care too much about the climate.
If the winner really wanted to push the boat out (ha ha), this lovely 77.8 metre yacht is listed for sale, and is within price range!
It has a helipad too and was described by sellers as 'excellent value at €69,000 per gross ton', although we'll have to take their word for it.
The Rutland Gate mansion in Knightsbridge would just about be achievable; it would stretch the budget though, and they'd need to find an extra £2 million down the back of the sofa.
The palatial building with 45 rooms overlooking Hyde Park was sold for this record price by its Saudi owners in 2022, according to the Financial Times.
Winners might benefit from the recent fall in London's prime housing market, however, and be able to strike a deal.
This car sold for over five million dollars at auction last year.
One of only 30 ever made, the model was engineered to break the 300 mph barrier for the first time, achieving a record speed of 304.777 mph.
British jeweller Graff unveiled the 'most valuable watch ever created', with more than 110 carats of diamonds on a platinum bracelet.
Fancy watches might have been out of reach until now, but now you could get a whole rolodex of Rolexes too.
Made of Niloticus crocodile skin dyed white and grey, it is meant to make you think of the Himalayan Mountains (can't see it myself though).
You also get 18-carat gold for the fastenings, studded with diamonds.
It sold for over £330,000 at Sotheby's auction house in 2022.
If the winner loves British football (probably not, given they bought the ticket in Ireland, but you never know), they could buy an entire football club, though not one at the top of the table. More Trending
They could then become loathed or loved, depending on the club's fortunes, a route favoured by plenty of billionaires.
If the pressure of the win is getting too much, and they fear the curse of the lottery jackpot, perhaps this would appeal.
An untouched Scottish island would come as a bargain, too, with one going on sale in 2018 for just £120,000, leaving plenty of change from £208 million. What would you buy first?
