Seriously now..think about it for a minute. How would it affect your drumming. You really want to set up in dive bars playing until 1:15? when you could be sipping maitais on some Hawaiian beach wondering what custom chopper you'd like made from Orange County choppers or what color you want on your 66 corvette stingray?. Think of how busy you'd be buying the world and everything in it..or would you rather be set up in some dive with 60 people yelling to hear Bob Segers old time rock&roll. Lay it on me lottery winner.
Your winning lottery ticket and its effect.

I would buy one of the local microbreweries and play drums for some of the acts that play there. I would hire a good sound guy and a good brewmaster

I would buy my parents a house and give them $2,000,000. Same with each of my siblings.
I own my home. I would probably rebuild instead of remodel (again).
The only 2 luxury items I've ever really wanted are a Ferrari and a Rolex.

I’d still be gigging, in fact I’d be gigging more as I’d have quit my job and would have more time on my hands!!
When I wouldn’t be gigging I’d be in my 10,000 square foot drumming complex filled with gear, just adjacent to our mansion - the kits dusted regularly by our butler

Probably still wouldn't go very excessive.
Mostly I'd just enjoy both the freedom and that I had the finances to make everything I want to do artistically happen.
My mission of making a difference in our music schools wouldn't change. I would simply be able to talk even louder with no risk.

I'd move to the county and build a studio in my home. A home that can't see from the street. Maybe a cave home. Yes, definitely a cave home.
I'd put together a band to tour 300 to 1500 person sized events, which is what I want already.
If I still had a job I'd continue go to work every day and do my job for a period of time just to mess with the minds of the coworkers and to see which lost their minds first.

The video on the main page, that dude is just living in that tube. I love how he just slowly comes into the picture like its no big deal.I’d put one of these in my new backyard, complete with a gathering area with tables, food/water/waste facilities, sound stage, lights, etc.

As it is, I do have a health insurance claim going and also working on a lawsuit which should if things were right end up around there, I really don't trust that life will be that fair, though.
I've found the right people and they've said yes, but these things sometimes take a decade to do and they get expensive, which is the obvious irony. Take people to court with money you don't really have.

I'd go back to school full time at various locations to pursue becoming a truly modern drummer and musician using every resource I could find.
And if I needed a vacation doing this, I'd visit Switzerland.

Anyplace that mandates you have to be 21 to buy whipped cream would not be my go to first choice for relocation.

I don’t play music because I need to, financially—I play because my soul needs to. If I won the lottery, playing music would look a bit different, though.
I’ve been on the receiving end of somebody’s fortune being used to hire musicians, multiple times now. I would wish to do the same. If I wanted to play a dive bar, I would hire the musicians I wanted to play with (for more than they’re used to getting) and just have fun with it. I’m sure I could pay to get us on some pretty cool stages, too, when I arrange the sweetest tour they’ve ever seen, too!
Also, I would *finally* make my way over to Pennsylvania to have that beer with Larry!

I'd stop doing bar gigs, put a great band together, and do what Gary Sinise does: play for servicemen and women, fundraising events, charities, etc. That would be the primary thing. Otherwise, we'd be a classy 60's tribute act playing performing arts centers, small theaters, large clubs and so forth. No expense would be spared in terms of lighting, sound, costuming, etc. It would be done right.
