Clarksville Now had the story about a 1 million dollar Powerball ticket being purchased locally.  The winner has 180 days to claim their prize, plenty of time to get ready for your new life of constant calls from relatives and people you haven’t heard from in a while asking you for money.

Or maybe you need to spend a few weeks wrapping your head around how much money a million dollars really is.  If that is that case I thought I would break it down to you in what one million dollars will buy you in Clarksville.  Sit back and let me spend that money for you.

Here are the top 5 things you can buy in Clarksville with one million dollars.

5.) This sweet new house

6 Bed Rooms and 6 Bathrooms on over 3 acres with over 5,000 square feet to worry about cleaning.  The asking price for this new home is $900,000 dollars, so you will have plenty of money left over to pay for a cleaning service for the next couple of decades.

4.) Lots of Parking Downtown 

Let’s say for a moment that you want to spend a lot of your new free time enjoying the sights and sounds of Downtown Clarksville.  The great news is that you will never have to worry about the parking ninjas leaving a parking ticket on your car.  Because one million dollars will buy you over 171 years of parking on Franklin Street.  Or you could just buy a new car at Wyatt Johnson and park downtown for a century, because why not?

3.)  A Super Clean Car

Maybe you are one of those people who love a good clean car.  Good news, if you are the Powerball winner you can rest assured that your car will be clean, for a very long time.  You can buy the “Deluxe Wash” with all the under washing and tire shine you can stand, every day for 137 years.

2.) Proof that You are the Biggest Austin Peay Football Fan, Like Ever.

Excited about what Coach Hudspeth and the boys are doing on the field, but don’t want to deal with the crowds at the Fort?  Good news, with that new million dollars in your bank account you can buy every seat at the Fort for 8 games.  Imagine having the entire stadium to yourself as you and only you shout “Let’s Go Peay”?!

1.) Lots of School Lunch

Do you look back fondly on your days of school lunch.  The cardboard-like pizza, the under-cooked cookies, or the incredible Salisbury steak.  The good news is that lunch at CMCSS schools is much better than you remember, and with your new million dollars you can buy lunch for each of the 32,000 students at CMCSS schools for two straight weeks.
