I'd probably blow all the money on prog CDs.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Assuming that it's possible to get a copy of anything listed on PA (currently 43,326 albums) and assuming that they average forty five minutes each. It would take 193 weeks to listen to it all (assuming you managed to get everything). Longer if you take breaks for sleeping, or listening to something different, or playing anything more than once.
Also, we're talking about £108 million pounds here. If each album cost £2,500 you could do it. But if each album was £25 (and the vast majority are a lot cheaper than that, of course) you would only use up 1% of the money.
What else would you do?

There is not a selfish bone in Slarti's body. He means he would buy all of us prog CDs |

After taking care family and charities I'd probably buy three houses in the UK, USA & Caribbean.
In terms of what to do with the rest of my life I'd probably look to support bands I'm interested in and the festival scene to try and get the word out.

If I did win the lottery, I know I wouldn't want anyone to know outside of immediate family members. I wouldn't want them treating me differently or heckling me, lol. Of course, local TV probably wouldn't let me off the hook so easily.
Oh, and this is all assuming that I would actually go out and spend money on a lottery ticket. |

Here in Canada you aren't taxed on the winnings (Huge Plus)
Here in Canada by playing you agree to have your identity shared with the public (Huge minus) 1 - Distribute 10% to immediate family to the level of niece and nephew. 2 - Buy land, lots of land. In the east coast, in Ontario, in BC 3 - Build houses on the land 4 - Build studios on the land 5 - Build runways on the land 6 - Build hangers on the land 7 - Buy a plane 8 - Take Flying lessons 9 - Hire some of my favorite prog musicians to perform in one of my hangers for a banquet I put on for my friends. 10 - And of course furnish all building with the best of the best furniture and technology Yeah, your right. That might only eat up about $10 million. Come on Lotto MAX ! |
