That doesn't mean one can't dream, though, and seriously contemplate what they would do with that life-changing amount of money. Some of the more practical Twitter users said they'll pay off debt (boo) while others said they'll take everyone out for Mexican food (YASSS).

Here's what hopefuls are going to do with the $500 million they won't win:

Touching, but that's not going to boost his chances.

Oh the social justice possibilities...

This guy would take the world out for burritos and margaritas — assuming "we're all" refers to the entire human population — with $400 million. Imagine what he'd do with the actual prize, which is $500 million.

Classic millennial: This person would use $500 million to do nothing forever.
