Alternate disc golf history

While dealing with my right knee arthritis that has deteriorated to the point where I had to withdraw from an event before the second round started even though I had a chance to win, started thinking what if the lottery ticket I bought from the Des Plaines Speedway in July 2022 was the $1.337 billion winner.

As far as disc golf, this is what I would have done with it:

Help out the local clubs that are raising money to improve the local courses which I have been able to enjoy though I lack the physical ability to do much with the physical aspect.

Find a way for local player Dan Schlitter to tour. After he won a Silver Series event in 2021, there was talk about it but he chose to stay home. He deserves a chance to go on tour.

Get Dellwood to finish their new course. They have been working on it for a while and the area deserves another championship level course. Though the labor needed is beyond my ability, there is enough money to get others to do it.

Get the DGPT to come to that new course. I would add $13/entry to the prize fund for all their events and $113/entry for the Dellwood one. No doubt there would be three weekends, one open pro, one age restricted pro, and one am. Would supply high end am prize pack for am.

Get the 2025 World Masters Championship to the area. It would take a lot of money and I would have it. There are plenty of area courses viable for that event. I am aware those best qualified to run this are not interested in doing so but would hope that I could financially convince them otherwise.

Get MA60 at that World's to be two rounds Dellwood using the A bracket IL States lowers layout and two rounds at 50 Acre long 1,6,8,10-13, and 15-17. Then I would have a chance to make the cut.
