How to make racing game goal that awards cash?

So im making a Racing game for my Friend (XPrenupX on twitch) and i want to make a end goal that depending on if your 1st or 3rd you get different amounts of cash

this is what i got am im not sure what to do next?

local cashprize = 1000
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local recent = 0 -- what ever place is next (1st,2nd,3rd,etc.)

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    local b = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if b ~= nil then
    player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + cashprize --for 1st place

    end
end)

i'm thinking of adding a if statement like this but i've done this already and i didnt give me the cash.

if recent == 0 then
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + cashprize --for 1st place
end
if recent == 1 then
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + cashprize/2 --for 2nd place
end
if recent == 2 then
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + cashprize/2/2 --for 3rd place
end

im not sure what im doing wrong here...
