Here is a question for you all
I have been thinking of this and want to see what the board thinks

If you had a chance to win the lottery of 200 million dollars by getting the numbers in advance would you take the numbers and buy the ticket
You would never get caught and the money would be yours 200 million
Would you buy the ticket

YES or NO

This is a question ? Who would say no? Where not talking about not returning found money or cheating to get the lottery number. This is a no brainer you take 200 million and if you have any guilt you easilly conquer that by large charitable donations - I would hire Styx and Dennis to perform in my backyard and invite the whole board , first class tickets and lodgings. Of course this would be two seperate concerts and sorry froy but you can't come to see Dennis unless you agree to see Styx first.

I would be very suspicious of the entire set up. Who is giving me the numbers, or how would I get them? Why would I be so special to get them over someone else? If the numbers are available, who else can get them? Is this a legal work around, or is it illegal?

Most everything comes with a price...and I don't think $200 million dollars is going to come without large one.

The way you are presenting it (very little details), I would say no because the details are very cloudy...There may be some dragon hidden in that fog...Or, a firey river that I don't want to fall into, unless my name is Achilles.

NO. Money doesn't bring happiness.

A person could do a lot of good with that money if they chose to.......

And they could find out how much it would take to get the boys in STYX back together again......( then withdraw the offer, it would just be a lot of fun to find out how much it would take....... :twisted: )

How much does it cost to freeze the river Styx? Hockey equipment would be the easy part.

And in my heart of hearts, I would want to, but I'm scared human nature would take over.

We'll just have to respectfully agree to disagree here. I've seen money cause a lot more misery than it ever alleviates. It would be interesting to hear JY and Tommy's perspective on this. As many have pointed out, money could've possibly been the reason they went along with Dennis as long as they did, and it sure sounds like it was miserable for them (based on their more recent remarks, anyway).
