First, I propose to and marry Patti Boyd Harrison Clapton! I think winning the billion dollar Powerball lottery would impress Patti, even if my previous 10,000 mailings/emails to her did not.
Second, I hire Paul McCartney and Band to perform in its entirety Wings Wild Life for 3 million dollars. I will pay him $50,000.00 for each encore performance of "Mumbo." No slutting out "Hey Jude," no boring "Let It Be." I just want WWL and maybe three more performances of "Mumbo" as an encore.
Price to play Powerball: $2.00 Price to hire Macca for private WWL/Mumbo party: $3,150,000.00 Price to tell Paul what to do: Priceless!

You might need a huge chunk of that fortune for legal fees in case your marriage proposal fails. Patti, knowing you are now a man of means, may finally decide that lawsuit for stalking and harassment is worth filing against you!

That is why she drops whoever her man of the moment is to shack up with Ronnie Wood when Ronnie feels nostalgic and in need of a shagging by someone his age.

Hey, JSD... if you do hook up with Patti, be sure to give her some of that cash to get her choppers fixed!

I might consider trying to get in touch with Heather Mills so I could offer to pay her for a few "dates."

This big U.S. Powerball jackpot has been reported on down here in Australia, by the way. I think the largest prize won in our version was about $80 million from a few years ago. Chickenfeed in comparison. This thread got me inspired though, so I've just bought a ticket for next Saturday (wrong, Thursday it is).

When I win the Powerball Wednesday, I'll be George Harrison or Eric Clapton rich....hell maybe Paul McCartney rich! Patti will dump old dude instantly for me. I'll even write her another great love song to go with Something and Layla but the melody will probably be from a Partridge Family song. Yes Winston, I will do The Mumbo Stomp naked and hopefully with Patti when I hire Paul and Band to only play Wings Wild Life.

Like Patti Boyd, I think Heather responds better to rich men than poor ones.

Hey, JSD... if you do hook up with Patti, be sure to give her some of that cash to get her choppers fixed! I hear you Joe but that would be my only concern if I was marrying 1964 to 1966 Patti. I am afraid 2016 Patti will need a whole lot of other work besides dental! I suppose if any one of us hit this Powerball lottery jackpot, we would all strongly consider privately hiring Paul or Ringo. I know Paul has done private gigs for hire and it would take this Powerball jackpot to afford it. Okay, say I hit it and hire Paul. Where in the whole wide world do we hold the Abbeyrd's Beatle Page Message Board II Mega-Gathering?? Your flight tickets and hotel stay would be on me, bring a spouse, lover, friend, whatever. Maybe bring me one too if you know any. My town has a nice auditorium at our high school that is outstanding acoustically but the rest of the week might be boring although I intend to also hire Bob Dylan, The Avett Brothers, Bruce Springsteen, and a couple others so we would have a private concert every night. Sorry, no Sheryl Crow even though I heard she is cheap! NYC might be too big and especially for a hayseed like me although we would have to pay tribute to John at the Dakota and Strawberry Fields. That is my Beatles' related fantasy if I hit this Powerball jackpot, bring all of us together for a week and have private concerts every night and then we would have to have a Board jam every night where the musicians among us perform and the rest of us karaoke! We could play music really loud and I will set up a turntable so JoeK can bring his vinyl records. Well, we'll know more Wednesday but keep those fantasies coming in! Dream date with Yoko?! Pick-up basketball with Sean and Dhani?! Pie eating contest with James "Big Mac" McCartney?! Money can't buy us love but it can buy us certain Beatles' fantasies!

I just want to see The Beatles Anthology film refurbished to fit a giant IMAX screen with a remixed 2016-era soundtrack and sit through the entire 10-hour film with the music blasting out like it does at The Mirage in Vegas at the LOVE show. I also want the same done for all the Shea Stadium footage, as well as the rooftop concert. I also would have outbid everyone for Ringo's Ed Sullivan drumkit that just sold, as well as any handwritten lyrics that come on the auction market.

I also would have outbid everyone for Ringo's Ed Sullivan drumkit that just sold, as well as any handwritten lyrics that come on the auction market. Yeah, I was eying that drumkit. Jim Irsay, owner of the NFL Indianapolis Colts, bought it and a John Lennon guitar John gave Ringo. I was at the final Colts game two Sundays ago and before the game, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was blasted over the PA and I reminded those in our suite that Irsay now owned the drums heard on that iconic recording! See, that is the kind of stuff we could buy if we win this silly Powerball. I am realistic and I understand the odds are all but impossible but it is fun to fantasize. With that kind of money, one could buy the drums and hire Ringo to play them at a private party! P.S. lowbasso, last week almost all of the 1975/1976 Indiana Hoosiers' Men Basketball Team(the last undefeated Division I Hoops team) were present for a celebration at Halftime of the I.U/Wisconsin game. Coach Knight boycotted but even Scott May came and he was anybody's guess because he was still mad at the firing of Knight and the Assembly Hall crowd loudly booed his son Sean when North Carolina played there in like 2004. One member is deceased and three others had pre-existing commitments but they sent their love and support. I am sure you know all about it and have watched the video. Heck, you might have been there!

You certainly wouldn't want Keith Moon or John Bonham playing them if those gents were still alive. Moonie would blow-up drums or kick them about and Bonham hit 'em hard.

Okay, when I win that 1.5 billion dollars, I better give some to charity. I will support John's(and Yoko's) Spirit Foundation; George's Material World Charitable Foundation; Ringo's the Lotus Foundation; and Paul's wealth replenishment trust fund to cover his divorce pay-out to Heather Mills.

Just opened this--the answer is the catalog of songs that Michael Jackson owned.
Although I'd have to look to see what the shelf-life of the copyrights are these days. I don't want to buy them if they are reverting back to the writers in the next few years.

I don't want to buy them if they are reverting back to the writers in the next few years. JcS That answer suggests that you might consider playing the Powerball someday(assuming the Jackpot goes up again)! If there is shelf-life on those copyrights, that would be an awesome investment! You would certainly get to meet Paul for sure I bet! Whether it was a pleasant meeting or not would be controlled by you!
