$250,000,000.00
Holy crap, that's a lot of zeros.

Lottery

I won $3 last night. I sure wouldn't mind the other $199,999,997.00. (last night the jackpot was $200M)

Ever since California got in on the action, the jackpot grows a lot quicker.

What would you do with a quarter billion dollars? I think I'd finally finish renovating my bathroom.

1. Probably buy some new sheets and pillowcases.
The ones I have right now are getting a bit threadbare.

10. I would start a brewery and an animal rescue shelter
The former would be a for-profit enterprise (albeit I could care if a profit was made or not) and the latter would be gratis. I would hire vet interns at attractive salaries to run the show.
