What would you do with $206 million?

| | Comments (19) |

The lottery is up to $206 million and counting tonight. What would you do after you win it? I'd buy this paper and turn the local sports coverage into the greatest thing you've ever seen, which of course comes after my extended trip around the world, Lakers, Dodgers and UCLA season seats, private golf memberships and vacations homes in Mammoth, Cabo, Europe, and wherever else my filthy-rich self wanted to go. Of course you'd take care of the family, close friends and make a few donations here and there. But like every day after the lottery, reality sets in and I'll be back and work tomorrow preparing for this weekends football championships.

Donate a guaranteed 10%-15% to the Los Altos football program, implement a Mater Dei type facility and make a serious pitch for Bruce Rollison, La Doucer, Barnes(Sr. or Jr.), Hagerty, etc.

Honest question, honest answer.

The first thing you would do is pay income taxes. In your bracket, probably about 45%. Since HLPUSD is pouring all its development dollars into LPHS, maybe you could spare a buck or two for all weather fields and tracks and improved lights and seating at Wilson, Workman, and Los Altos. All need it. They, and most area preps, could use some help on their web sites. Check out any SW Ohio HS sites, like Piqua, for examples on how it ought to be done. Ours are pitiful by comparison, and this in the heart of TV and internet development and production. HLPUSD could even get ad support from area retailers and other businesses to reach the students, faculties, friends, families, and teams at four high schools.

i would buy a helicopter and donate it to the coaching staff at CO so when we win the CIF championship we can fly around go recruit player for the next years team, since thats what ignorant people think we do anyways, might as well launch a full scale attack, and while we fly around in or little chopper we can pay a visit over at huskie city and let bogen and is boys know who are and were the real kings of the sgv all along =)

Just Wondering said:

I WOULD BUY THE SENATE SEAT IN ILLINOIS... I HEAR IT'S FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER!

That's why I picked him Joe, he could both call the game and do color commentary. It would sound like a 3 or 4 man crew in the booth.

Joe Amat said:

BB&G,

And with all the Godfather talk on the other topic he could break into his Pacino every once in a while.

"On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is: can you win or lose like a man?"

"Say hello to my little friend..."

"You're out of order! This whole trial is out of order!"

I could go on... he's the best!

"Whoo-yah!"

Bleeds Blue and Gold said:

I would go for Frank Caliendo myself.

AMAT 73 said:

BB&G,
Ok I will make sure we do that. I would also pay off our announcer to retire and hire John Madden for all of our home games.

Bleeds Blue and Gold said:

You need to keep the football field as natural grass, no artifical turf. The new grass fields they have nowadays beats turf hands down. You can rubberize the track though. Oh and don't forget about that scoreboard!

AMAT 73 said:

I would buy out Msgr's contract or donate whatever it takes to get him to retire then donate the money to build the state of the art multi -purpose outdoor sports facility for starters.

Lancer Boosters said:

Make sure Monsignor Carroll over at Amat gets his cut for all the new proposed renovations. After all Fred you love Amat like no other school.
