We all hate those people who win the lottery and say: "It won't change me. I'll still go to work." If a win isn't going to change you, why even bother playing?

Gareth Quinn, the area manager from Dublin Bus, said: "None of them were at work this morning and we've got no problem with that. Best of luck to them."

And renowned Dublin drag artist Panti Bliss took to Twitter to make a pretty valid point:
