If you won Powerball would you make a pro tour?

Definitely wouldn't throw it away on pro tour; there's no revenue, so no return on the investment.
Instead, I'd open an Internet cafe with pool tables. I'd make sure I don't have enough computers to meet demand. Kids play pool while they wait. Soon there's a waiting list for pool tables and kids play LAN games while they wait. Lather, rinse, repeat.

if only I could win...
Well, the latest estimates yesterday are about $1.3 billlion for the powerball.
If you take the lump sum(I would) and after Uncle Sam gets through with you, you might have 4-500 million left. I think I would throw some millions at a good idea. Lots of people here seem to have the ideas, but no money.
Your question reminds me of a news reporter on TV the other day asking some people(standing in line to buy Lotto tickets) what they would do with the money if they won; the reporter got embarrassed and I laughed when the 2nd person she asked was some guy who said, "HOOKERS AND COCAINE."

I've actually thought about this. Yes I would. Q-Masters is for sale.
1. Buy it, gut it, install 35 9' Gold Crowns with Green Cloth.
2. Enlist Mike Zuglan as TD for a handsome sum.
3. Enlist 5 other halls & buy them all Gold Crowns with Green Cloth.
4. Have 12 events a year, 2 at each enlisted hall & 2 at my hall.
5. $1,000,000 added for 11 of 12 events.
6. Final event 3,000,000 added and 1,000,000 to winner of season finale.
Figured in 20 years I could blow over 300,000,000 on this and get not much back in return but I don't care, I'd do it for the love of the game.

I truly would. Some here know me and my game & it always grated my nerves to have the talent to play at an elite level but never able to make a living at it in my prime as there just never was $ in the game.
This lotto has a big enough prize that if applied as I stated in my first post I could rectify that for players currently in their prime & provide a future for the sport I love.
Also to get Brunswick back in the game and get Diamond & those pinball rails & blue cloth out. I'd die broke, but happy.
HELL NO to supporting players that walk around looking for handouts. I love pool and I love my money too. The pros are going to have to earn respect first and their are many ways to do this.

Best post of the thread! LOL. Seriously.
Or alternatively, invest in Diamond and have them mold their own rubber so the rails bounce just like a GC.
i'd explore options
would start by recruiting a young hungry and ready to work his ass off mba type who can speak and sell and essentially have a ridiculosuly high skillset in business, someone who would consider devoting his life to such an endeveour because for sure i wouldn't, lol
if i could find such a person, and if this person could make the numbers work, then he could run the show while I oversee him
this would happen slowly over time, no huge money "donations"
run as a for profit business and monies invested would still remain minimal

I would contact the folks at Fleet Laboratories, and have multiple 10,000 gallon douches manufactured, enough to clean out every pool hall in America, so that we can restart the game fresh...........fresh as a Summers Eve.........
Once all the douchebags are gone, Im thinking the rest will be easy........ :thumbup:

I'll bring the liquor and weed!
uttahere:I went to a pool hall last night.
+1 to that!!!
Heck no!
I would open up a very good pool hall in Maui and not worry about it making money. I would host a no entry fee tournament once a year. Only 21 players of my choosing allowed. It would be 10 Ball race to 15 winner take all $50,000.00 prize. It would be single elimination, winner breaks, neutral racker on 9" Diamond tables with 4.25" pockets.
Any unfounded whining, cheating, poor behavior, etc. and you leave and won't be back for 3 years minimum. Only good players and good sports allowed.

Sounds like clear lake all over again....
Exactly right!! A lot of good players came and lost in my gameroom. They weren't ready.
