The question really is ridiculous. With the exception of throwing it away in a bad investment, it is nearly impossible to spend a half billion dollars in your lifetime.

Sure would be a lot of fun to try.

Friday’s Mega Millions drawing is now valued at $508 million and growing.

If I won a half billion dollars, I would ask for it in dollar coins. Then, I would pay everyone like they did in the wild west with little pouches filled with coins. Also, you can be sure I would try to swim in that money Scrooge McDuck style.

How would you spend your half billion?
