What can you buy with $550 million? Though after taxes, you'll have less than the total jackpot, does make for a nice round(ish) number to do some calculations.
Say you'd like to go to the BCS Championship in style. Let's start with a Gulfstream G650 jet or a "G6". That will run you about $60 million plus the cost of a pilot, co-pilot, at least one flight attendant and fuel.
You'll need a place to stay in Miami. How's about a 10 bedroom, 11 bath, 23,000 square foot home. It's a steal at $100 million.
You'll need to drive there from the game. How's about a luxury coach. The most expensive we could find was the Vantare Platinum Plus for just $2.5 million.
Of course you actually have to get tickets to the game. If your looking for a luxury suite (and let's be honest, you're looking for a luxury suite) that will come to $99,000. That's the cheapest thing on your ultimate fantasy list.
Now if you wanted to rent, you'd save a ton, but if you win the Powerball you'll have the money to just buy it anyway, so why not.
Add in a few thousand for "incidentals" and your still looking at under $163 million. What a deal!
