If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you


1. Upgrade parts of you're system.
2.  Get rid of everything you have and start over again.
3.  Buy a new house and build a dedicated listening room.
4.  Hire a consultant to put together a system for you.
5.  Just enjoy what you have and buy more music.

The payout on the $1.3 billion prize,  if won by an individual,  and taken as a lump sum one time thing is somewhere north of $400 million.  No gripes about the big bad government taking the $700 million in taxes since the work involved in winning it was just plain dumb luck.

That being said,  family and friends would be taken care of immediately.

I would then take half of the remaining money and become an anonymous philanthropist,  chairing any number of charities which in and of itself would be a full-time,  noble,  worthy occupation.

Then its a mad blur of purchasing houses,  automobiles,  socks,  candy, and solar powered inflatable zeppelins.

As for audio gear,  allow me to paraphrase Ralph Kramden...

"just think how great all this will sound in a Park Avenue apartment,  Alice!"


minkwelder,
That's why I don't support lottery. It's a catch to rip you'all off and buy more ammo.
One could buy the Playboy mansion I see for a mere $200 million.  Nice place!  Might want to give it a good cleaning first before moving in.  Hefner payed a bit over 1 million for it originally back in the 70s I read.  Nice appreciation.
