When one wins this kind of money are you supposed to give out to all of your extended family too? I know most will of course completely take care of their immediate family but what about all those uncles and cousins? Is it enough to just pay all their debt off and call it a day?

my coworker and i drive all over texas and were talking about it last week when we saw it at $310... interestingly when we were coming back into town we saw it drop back down to $10 and were cussing.

i liked his take. he said that for his immediate family they each get one thing. New House, new cadillac, trip they always wanted, boat, whatever. But that's it. one thing and never ask him for money again.

For his extended family he said i'll take aunts, uncles, and cousins out on a family vacation and make sure that they know that they never ask for money at any point.

seems if make them take that and know they can't ask ever again, you'd leave it alone.
