re: if you won the powerball (about $180 million in cash)

Give:
10 Million to my parents
1 Million to siblings (2)
100 Thousand to cousins/aunts/etc (We will say 50)
Total: 17 Million

Buy:
House in New Orleans 1.5 Million
House in Tennessee or Georgia on a lake 1 Million
Nice Truck 50k
Nice Car 100k
Nice ATV 20k
Nice Boat 50k
All the stuff to go in them/with them 500k
Total: 3.22 Million

Donate:
1 Million to LSU
1 Million to TAF
500k to my HS
500k to Camp Stanislaus
Total: 3 Million

Misc:
Suite in Tiger Stadium
Suite in Superdome
Suite in Smoothie King Arena
Suite in Alex Box
Total: Guessing 2 Million?

With all of that, I would be spending: $23.22 Million.....

With the remaining 157 million I would probably put 100 million in stock, 25 million into buying a business or franchise, and keep 32 million on hand to play with.
