I’d invest it in the market with stocks that pay good dividends. Then every year I’d withdraw a small amount to host a nice tournament. I’d structure the amount withdrawn so that It would be an annuity investment that would live on indefinitely.
Contact Shanelle Loraine. Enough said. And probably Suh Yen Rhee (sp?) as well.

Spew coffee all over my key board ..
That is just as good of way as any to toss some money away .

Impressive, DCP. You do have good taste.

Buy my honorary nephew a house and a car, then fund him for entering every major open for a couple of years. I figure after two years of getting his brains kicked in, he'll either be good enough to hang with the top players or he will have wised up.
But I have heard that you need to buy a ticket if you want to win.

The first year I would definitely treat my entire league to a trip to the Vegas BCAPL Nationals. I'd estimate the bill would be $300K.
Buy 12 or so carom tables
Some 8s some 9s some 10s

Build an awesome room on a nice lot

Pool hit the lottery with Kevin Trudeau-What did it do for pool at any point? I guess if proved that even with big $$ payouts and phonied up interest in the sport like putting models and rich looking people in the audience-nothing can be done for pool.
Sustainability is required and no lottery or KT like figure will accomplish that. Just relax and enjoy pool with the rest of us cultists. Our day may come but it isn't anytime soon.

When the power ball prize gets to be about 600 or 800 million I'd finance a a 3 year run
of an open entry pro tournament, a pool week (if you will) an 8 ball, 9 ball and 10 ball tournament.
The pay out would be a total of somewhere between 1 and 1.5 million ish. We'd figure out the breakdown later.
I'd put the money in the a verifiable bank account so anyone considering entering would
be able to see the cash is already there. For that week, we'd run some pro events, some
amateur events, some pro-am events, maybe a pro-celeb event for charity, see if I could get some of the local
pro athletes to participate.
Some major players would receive an invite and a guaranteed appearance fee in exchange for exhibitions or
master classes, challenge matches, etc...
Maybe run it side by side with a Pro Darts event and a Pit Masters BBQ event and
invite a bunch of local brewers for a beer event of some kind.
There would be a green room with some spectator seating accessible by pass or ticket.
I think the first year 128 spots for the 8 and 9 ball, 64 for the 10 ball, and we'd see if we
needed more or less for the following years and this wouldn't be limited to the men.

Probably get a few cues... and maybe a nicer table at home.
