That really is a thing of beauty (he says, from the outside of the window shop looking in).

Welcome to the HIGH end.you'd have to be HIGH to spend $50K on a set of cans!

I'd create a commune for the surround sound arts, and a chain of auditoriums dedicated to showcasing their works.

As much as it's a fantasy of many people to win a big lottery....to win that much would probably change your life forever...and not in a good way....former lottery winners have been kidnapped...robbed...poisoned....can you imagine what some desperate people would do to get some of the money with a jackpot that high....the people you could trust in your life would be very few....and when I see these people going on TV and letting the world know who they are...I just shake my head...they are putting a target on their back...and a BILLION dollar payday would bring out all the crazies....

I’d use it to buy a couple of OOP SACD’s and then see what’s left. Maybe a weekend away afterwards?!

I got my $10.00 ticket.

Aren't they required to go public? (That said, outside of commercials, have you ever heard the name of a National Clearing House winner?).

If you ever watch HGTV they have a show called My Lottery Dream Home...not only do you get to see the winners you get their names and what city they are from....the only requirement for the Florida Lottery is your name and city and the amount of the winning ticket..and date won...when you see a picture of the winners on the Lottery website it's not a requirement...it's up to the winners if they want one displayed...

As far as Publisher's Clearinghouse....how hard would it be to find out the winner's identity...you can get pictures and names and cities here

All my friends would have new stereos.

Not even for myself.

 

[4-earredwonder]

Not even for myself.

Kal, I was being utterly facetious. Not a headphone fan nor a fan of turtlenecks myself ...... way too claustrophobic for me.

Besides Kal, those headphones would't fit around your wrap around, Tom Cruise~like Ray Bans!

So when you or GOS 3.0 win the $1.6 Billion dollar mega millions............how would your life change, Clinty? Since I don't play.....there's NO chance in hell of me winning but you're right on so many levels. A couple in my town won a substantial fortune and the first thing they did was get divorced throwing the kids into a dizzying tailspin and another large winner in Pennsylvania was so intent on buying his friends and relatives cars and other luxury items....he ended up broke .... and in debt.

That old adage...."watch what you wish for..." has never more seriously been in vogue.

But then again ..........

Best post of the day.

Yes, dr.simple, MODESTY is always the BEST policy! Bless Master Smithers!

But truth be told.....if Smithers won that $1.6B Jackpot, he'd be partying like it's 1999!

 

[4-earredwonder]

I got my $10.00 ticket.

If you win, Markie, you can build an audiophile~in~law suite on the side of your house where your good bud Ralphie can live [it better be GIGUNDUS] and we can exchange surround discs and live on Jack, brew and WEED...and gourmet Pizzas!

And SCREW the neighbors over noise complaints!!!!!!! McIntosh and Meridian RULE!

...if Smithers won that $1.6B Jackpot, he'd be partying like it's 1999!

I would defo do that! Infact you could have had $232,828.87 to spend every day since 1999. Enough for some party! Or get a Ferrari and a fancy pair of headphones delivered every day with the newspaper? Too bad I can't get a ticket!

They might. I don't have that much hair to get in the way.

Kal, I was being utterly facetious.

Me, too.
