Title: I won the Mega Millions and I'm gonna.....
Post by: BigSkyTaylorPlayer on March 30, 2012, 06:02:14 PM
What........?

I'll immediately move to Montana, buy all the Taylor guitars that will fit in the house (koa, of course) and hire Tommy Emmanuel and Norman Blake to come over for some guitar lessons.

What would you do?

Buy an apartment in the Huitieme Arrondissement in Paris and expand our departamento in Mexico City.

I'm pretty well set with the guitars though. ;)

I get a kick out of people who say "Oh, money wouldn't change me".

Bull.

It would change me.

I would pay off my house, my brother's house, and my brother-in-law's house.

What would I buy?

1962 Fender Strat
Every lens that Canon makes
A few new Canon DSLR's
Penthouse in Manhattan
1957 Austin Healey for my Dad
An Audi R8
An Audi S5
Delaware
A BMW X6
Couple of houses... here and there...
I was going to say a jet, but it would probably be better just to lease one when I wanted to use it...

Buncha' other stuff. I'll start working on that list in the morning...

Change me?  Ever see Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack?  Yeah, that's how I'd be.  ;D

We rarely buy lottery tickets, but my wife picked up a couple for tonight's drawing... I think it had something to do with hitting all the green lights when we left our daughter's place.  I was in a hurry to get home to play my guitar.  ;)  If she wins, I think she'll buy me a couple more guitars and get a muscle-bound cabana boy for her new digs.

My wife bought 30 tickets, and I can't believe it really increased our chances too much.

On the news the other night, they said that, statistically, I had a better chance of being Tom Cruise than I did of winning the Mega Millions.

Don't get me wrong, Katie Holmes is cute and all, but I'd rather have the cash...

Oh well, good thing I kept my day job.
