I would play a lot more. Not sure about owning an alley with headaches involved.

First thing I'm doing is going down to Florida for the kegel training. Then 3 leagues a week plus tournaments.

Owning a center...no thanks. But I would definitely have some home lanes installed with a nice man cave.

If I won the Powerball, my bowling life wouldn't change at all; I'd still have a bad back, suck at bowling, and love coaching and writing.

Yeah, but you can now have an around the clock masseuse follow you where ever you go

Home lanes would be the first thing that changed. Then I would equip up others I wanted to get into bowling. Then last I would hand a fat stack to my PSO so he would be able to operate at a lower cost and give better deals to all the bowlers that use his shop.

At least I wouldn't have to race from work to bowling every Tuesday!

I told my wife I would build a center like they have in Vegas/Reno. Around 100 lanes, stadium seating, pro shop, bar, snack bar, etc. But it would be designed for tournament play and high-end practice/coaching only. No league play. This is to allow all the other centers to remain open.
I would have the PBA and PWBA have a tournament there, and jack the winnings up with my own money. I also will have internet cameras built into every 4 lanes so that during tournaments you could follow your favorite bowler all day. I'd have enough money that I could run the place to break even and keep costs down. I would also build a hotel on-site for out-of-town bowlers to stay that would attach to the bowling center so you wouldn't have to be exposed to the weather.

Well I would give a much needed upgrade to my home center (gift to the owner), buy the center the next county over and remodel that. Pay an experienced manager. My pro shop would have two lanes for coaching and trying balls with CATS. I would also attend Jayhawk, Powerhouse and Turbo pro shop training along with a trip to Kegel.

I would like to build a state of the art center. Probably have someone manage it.

I would build some lanes in my house probably four, which should be enough to have friends come play.

I wouldn't be working, so I am sure bowling time would increase.

I won $4 on Saturdays drawing so I guess I can bowl an extra game...very life changing haha.

First thing bowling related would be to provide all local youth leagues with proper equipment and fund full-time coaching.

I think the in-house set-up would be a must if $ was no option. Being able to set-up and bowl any pattern you want whenever you want sounds like fun.

A stocked "pro shop" would be pretty cool to be able to experiment with different layouts on the spot.

I bowled at the perfect setup a couple of weeks ago. Guy has 4k square foot nice house out the front door is his 24 lane bowling center in the middle of nowhere complete with bar pool tables and big screen TV's and an office with a desk sectional sofa and bed. Told me he rarely goes home lol. Pretty sure if I won that is what I would do.

I would start up a new bowling ball company and release balls every week. Just for kicks because I can

I would get a UBA franchise started (shoot maybe a whole UBA regional league). I would sponsor a couple of leagues an a couple of tournaments a year. Most of all I would start some scholarships to get more high school bowlers.

I'd have a 4-6 lane man cave. Nothing too exciting.

I'd build a new house with a nice 4 lane set-up and get every new release that comes out (my PSO would love me!). After using them for a few weeks/games, I'd give them to a local High School team. I'd also sponsor a few scholarships to try to build the sport through high school bowling.

I thought about maybe building a kick-a$$, state-of-the art bowling center as well, but I don't know if it would be worth the headaches of running it.

I would build and open my own bowling alley and it would be called General Aladeen Lanes and you can let your imagination complete the rest of the idea

I would also sponsor a PBA League team that would be comprised of only PWBA members and have them compete against the guys.
