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. 

Hopefully this person doesn't win — it could all go to waste.
