I had spent €203,000 by 9.30am, and ploughed on

We sent Denis Lehane to the Ploughing Championships with an imaginary €1m to spend

My eight-year-old son, Robert, would have had no difficulty spending €1m. He had a plan — buy 20 John Deere tractors, and a pet lamb with the change.

He likes lambs, but not as much as he likes John Deere tractors. It would take me a little longer to spend the Lotto win.
