An Insane Lottery-Winning Dream

I know I know this is really stupid, but I'd really love somebody's input. When the Powerball or Mega Millions always gets really high I always dream...what would I do if I won. Well one thing I'd do would be to donate 10% to charity and I've always wondered...If I won $100,000,000, then 10% would be $10,000,000. Would the DMB be willing to allow someone else to make a setlist if the price was right? What if you PUBLICLY (like right when the lottery announced you as the winner and asked you what you were going to do with the money) offered each band member $2,000,000 each to go to their favorite charity and all they had to do was allow antsmarching.org to chose the entire setlist for the Gorge. They could allow an offical vote for the entire 3-night setlist (almost like a "greatest hits" three-nighter). Would DMB do it?

    Maybe, but I'm sure there would be some limitations put in place.

    That's actually a great question. It would look pretty bad on them if someone was willing to donate $10,000,000 to a charity and all they had to do was play a setlist.

    Enough of this. I'll go make a new thread about Mercy.

    My husband and I decided years ago if we win we are buying a tour bus and following the band for at least 1 entire tour and getting VIP tix to every show. Also we will give money to the charity the band chooses for a meet & greet with DMB.

    I like your idea a lot too...my idea about letting the fans decide a "greatest hits"-type three night stand would be that you'd get to hear the 60 or so best DMB songs as voted on by the fans in one weekend. But traveling around for an entire year you would probably get to hear almost all of those top 50-60 songs at least once.
