Ok, you don't win the lottery and decide to get the money the old-fashion way – you are going to save it. Who wants to save to become a billionaire? If you won the $1.6 billion jackpot, before taking a lump sum or paying taxes – using that $1.6 billion figure as a measure of your wealth – you would have more money than a slew of countries can produce in a year (in gross domestic products).Ĭomoros - in Sub-Saharan Africa - $623,751,050ĭominica – in the Caribbean - $524,074,074 Looking at gross domestic production around the globe, where would you sit? You're gonna need some caffeine, but you can afford it, so go for it. If you were really dedicated, and could spend $20 per second, you could spend $1 billion dollars in 578 days (1 year, 214 days). Melt those quarters down, and the molten metal would equal 3,419,136 quarts – that would fill an Olympic size swimming pool one-and-a-half times. If you took the quarters and put them into quart jars, you’d have 4,353,379.17 of them. If you want your winnings in quarters, it will weigh 22,680 tons. One billion $1 bills would weigh around 10 tons. If you laid the $1 bills end to end, the trail would measure 96,900 miles.

One billion $1 bills would cover a 4-square mile area, or the equivalent of 2,555 acres. Take one billion $1 dollar bills and put them in a stack (we’ll wait) after about 30 years of stacking, your pile would measure 358,510 feet or 67.9 miles high.
