Location: Michigan | OK OK I know another question from GWB that you might have to think about for a second but what the heck would you do with yourself ?
You could buy the best Ovations & Adamas guitars that are made.
What part of your life would change if you were finacialy instanly wealthy ? GWB |

take care of my family about 1-2 million.
then give the rest in $9999 gifts to families who needed it, as long as they promise to share even a little of it with someone who was even in more need then them. Of course I might have to donate some to the save our coral reefs efforts. when the coral reefs go, humans aren't far behind.
and I would buy one of those cool new cases, cut a hole in the end and let T use it for his baritone.... |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Thanks Mike! You're the best.
I would keep the majority of mine to care for the many members of my immediate family that have suffered over the past ten years.
Then I would share all the rest with friends and relatives who ever treated me or my family with extra love and kindness with no expectations of anything in return except blessings.
Finally, I would buy one of those cool cases and give it to Fugot to make up for the one he cut a hole in the end of before giving it to me.
Peace out! |

Location: South of most, North of few | I'm with ya Mike, 1 to 2 mil would do me just fine. I would end up giving the rest away to the needy or missions groups. (I think I'd buy a couple of those cool guitar cases myself) |

How does everyone feel about Applauses? |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I'd do about the same as Crimson Lake, maybe give a bit more of it to my wife's kids who always seem to be struggling, donate a bunch to a few arts organizations with whom I've been closely associated for many years, and maybe use some to invest in a real collection of guitars. I might also buy a nice big workshop someplace and restore a few old cars. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Pay off the taxes and mortgages, quit work, pay off the rest of the family debt, give some to charity and go work on Brad's cars and play his guitars. Golf and guitar lessons would eat up the rest of my time and money. |

Location: Tychy, Poland | pay off credits, have surgery on my eyes, buy a land, build a house, give some money to parents, invest part of remaining money in actions, and open music shop with used instruments.
And i'd like to have real "music room" in my house. With Hammond B3, piano, a couple of guitars - electric,acoustic, classical, and maybe a violin and hurdy-gurdy.
yeah, and i'd run a music school for blind people. |

I would pay off all of our bills of course, stash some aside for retirement, then donate the rest to the care and treatment of our wounded soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Location: Indiana | I think I would keep a couple mil for myself and my better half to live(camp and fish)comfortabley. The other 8? I live in a very small town (1500). I spent 13 years on the vol. fire department. I know how much work it is and how hard, to imposible, it is to get funds, sometimes. I think I would open an account with 1 million with the annual interest to go to them. A never ending income for whatever they need. The other 7, do the same thing for a childrens hospital (in my case probably Riley in Indy). Hopefully that money would be used for those who cannot afford the help they are getting.
