Blog Challenge....What if I won the jackpot?

"If you were to win the PowerBall jackpot, what would you do with it......and why?? (assume it's a big one!) "

The jackpot is $100 million dollars (after taxes). Here is where that money would go, and why.

  • $15 million - set up income generating funds for immediate family members. So I/we can "take this job and shove it..." travel and have time for philanthropy, visiting family, and hire a MAID.
  • $5 million - one time gifts for other family members. Just to be nice.
  • $30 million - Gifts to churches and other organizations. Just to be nice.
  • $30 million - Create a scholarship fund. Just to be nice.
  • $10 million - Build a community center. Just to be nice.
  • $50,000 - Home improvements. Because I desperately need some new flooring and would dearly love a bathroom in my basement.
  • $1 million - Rainy Day fund for things I was too freaked out to think about.
  • $8,950,000 - Get this in $100 bills a little at a time, and walk around a few times a year and hand out $100 bills to people that look like they need it.
