An Iowa couple who won a $202 million Powerball jackpot in September is donating $3 million to their son's high school for a new football stadium — but the gift comes with a catch.

The Bondurant-Farrar school district accepted the $3 million donation from Brian and Mary Lohse on Monday, The Des Moines Register reported. The couple from the Des Moines suburb of Bondurant requested only that the new stadium be completed before the fall 2014 football season — their oldest son's senior year — and that the visiting team's locker room be painted pink.

Hey Mark -

As a boy raised in Iowa...this isn't odd at all!

Back in the days when Hayden Fry was the coach of the Hawkeyes he famously painted the visitor locker room at Kinnick Stadium pink since the color has a 'soothing' effect on people. Opposing teams would have someone cover the walls before each game.

I don't know if it's still pink in Iowa City...but someone is living the glory days of the Hawks!

Nice, make the visiting team aware of Cancer research.
