The Powerball pot is now up to $620 million. Here's what it could buy you

Sweet dreams are made of…what?

Just what will you do when you win the Powerball jackpot that has now rocketed up to $620 million? This is the third-largest jackpot in the game's history.

Sure, you're going to buy everyone a round of drinks, and hire a good lawyer. But what then?

Now that you're a multimillionaire, you need to think practically. What are you going to do with all that money?

Put it away for your children? Make sound investments in cutting-edge industries? Use it to help solve world hunger?

Don't be silly.

We've been giving this matter a lot of thought, And we have a few suggestions.

Buy a Superyacht 

Steven Spielberg, the president of the United Arab Emirates, and Google's Eric Schmidt have one. Why shouldn't you? A superyacht, according to Forbes, is just like a yacht except that it's…well, super. A luxury yacht, by any other name. The biggest cost as much as $600 million, but you might be able to get one for as little as $275 million. That'll give you plenty of money left over for crew, dockage, insurance and upkeep (annually, about 10 percent of the yacht's initial cost).

Buy the world's most expensive car 

That would be the Sweptail — a steal at $13 million. You'll have plenty of money left over to sweeten the deal for Rolls-Royce, which may need to be persuaded to make another one (it was a one-off, made exclusively for a very wealthy customer who didn't want his name divulged). The Sweptail is a two-seater, with a panoramic sunroof, and a handcrafted wood and leather interior, according to beautifullife.info. Fill 'er up — premium, please.

Hire an English butler 

You're lounging in your new mansion. Suddenly, the thought strikes you: I'd like a cup of coffee. Do you get up and make one yourself? Perish the thought. You ring for Briggs. He'll cost you perhaps $20,000 to $25,000 annually — according to the question-and-answer website Quora — if he's young and inexperienced, and as much as $150,000 a year if he's a polished pro working a large estate. Multiply that by all the years you won't be fetching coffee. Best of all, you'll be able to refer to him as "my man Briggs." 

Stage your own music festival 

Why go to Lollapalooza when you can have your own Fred-a-palooza, Josh-a-Palooza, or Michelle-a-palooza? Start, on the main stage, with these headliners (they go for $1 million to $1.5 million a pop, according to consequenceofsound.net): Aerosmith, Arcade Fire, Billy Joel, Blake Shelton, Andrea Bocelli, Bruno Mars, Elton John, Engelbert Humperdinck, Jay-Z, Miley Cyrus, Nickelback, Pink, Ricky Martin, Rod Stewart, Rolling Stones, Shakira, The Black Keys. Then, in the smaller tent, you can have these up-and-comers ($1 million or less apiece): Adele, Annie Lennox, Backstreet Boys, Bette Midler, Blink 182, Bryan Adams, Carlos Santana, Dave Matthews, Eagles, Eminem, Green Day, Jimmy Buffett, Mariah Carey, Rage Against the Machine, and Stevie Wonder. Porta Potties, incidentally, range from  about $50 to $275 a day. 

Buy your own tropical island 

You don't have to be named Gilligan to have an island. For a mere bag of shells — $16 million, according to the web site whatitcosts.com — you can own your own palmy paradise in the Caribbean or the Bahamas. That'll leave you plenty left over for lounge chairs.

Have a second helping of the world's most expensive food 

Brown-lipped Abalone is $173,600 a serving, according to realitypod.com. Supposedly, it tastes like sweetish sushi, and is so expensive because it's rare and difficult to harvest. With your millions, you can have it every day for a between-meal snack. 

Spend 10 days on the International Space Station 

It's only $35 million, according to thestreet.com, so you could make it your summer vacation home. Let the in-laws have the place in Point Pleasant.

Buy a town 

Hell, Michigan ($900,000) and Swett, South Dakota ($250,000, marked down from $399,000) are just some of the burgs that have come on the market in recent years. Listings don't say if they come equipped with people. But they're probably cheap.

Make a Hollywood movie 

A typical blockbuster these days is about $200 million ("Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2") to $250 million ("Avengers: Age of Ultron"). Make two, they're small.

Buy a baseball team 

You'll actually need to go in with a couple of other Powerball winners for this one. The average major league team is worth $1.54 billion, according to Forbes. The Yankees would set you back about $3.7 billion. But hey — you know you always wanted to fire Jacoby Ellsbury.
