This is a fantasy I allow myself sometimes, when I want to have something other to think about than my poverty-stricken life. If I won the Eurojackpot of a hundred million dollars.
Interestingly, I have VERY specific dreams and wishes I could then realize, some of which have to do with film music. For example, I would buy an apartment building nearby, make the ground floor a commercial space where I would run a film music record label, organize a film music festival, have a journalistic headquarters etc. And of course several other things. I can make a more detailed rundown later.
Too abstract idea for me and I don’t play the lottery even 😉 But seriously: Since I would have far more than I need then, I would indeed try to do good things, do some charity things, supporting non profit things. That “non profit” probably would include some film music matter like financing some re-recordings 😉
I don’t play the lottery either, except once in a blue moon (especially if I see the Eurojackpot is over a hundred million dollars). It’s money out the window, but at least I feel like I’m “in”.
No doubt I would give a lot to charity too, but first I have a number of more “selfish” endeavours.

Yes, surely I would do some selfish things, too. But I most certainly would not buy a big house or a thick car or similar.
My favorite conspiracey theory is that actual nobody ever wins, it’s all staged for motivation 😉
Okay, I’m at an age where a sudden win of 100 Million Dollars would be most welcome, but would not destabilize me. Obviously, I would not have to worry about money any more.
If I won 100 Million dollars today, there is a house I would look into buying that I fell in love with a few years ago in Italy, at Lake Garda. I’d try to buy that house, renovate it and bring it technically up to date. Then I’d sit in that house and ponder what else I should do with that money. 🙂Of course, this whole “winning the lottery” thing is just a veiled way to ask about our dreams and aspirations, if we have any. That’s always interesting. Same as that thread about participating in a quiz show wasn’t really a thread about a realistic participation in a quiz show, but what your specialty subjects are.
