First thing I'm doing is going down to Florida for the kegel training. Then 3 leagues a week plus tournaments.
I would play a lot more. Not sure about owning an alley with headaches involved.

In my bag: Roto Grip Haywire, Ebonite Cyclone Gamebreaker, Brunswick danger zone vintage, Brunswick C-system Maxxed out and Columbia WD. High Game 300 (x3) high series 790...still searching for the 800.
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.
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.
