The multi-state Mega Millions lottery is giving away a record jackpot of at least $540 640 million * on Friday night to anyone whose six numbers match the six balls that come up during the Mega Millions jackpot drawing. You can get more than a half-billion dollars just for having the right balls go your way (who knew you had so much in common with NBA groupies?).

Truth: you probably will not win the $640 million Mega Millions jackpot on Friday.  Your odds of winning are one in 176 million, meaning you’re more likely to be struck by lightning, experience an asteroid hitting the Earth or find true love through online dating.  Sigh… But someone will eventually win the Mega Millions jackpot; why not you?

If you do win, here are 15 things that guys can buy with the $640 million Mega Millions jackpot**:

OMGPOP is a multi-player game company best known for making ‘Draw Something,’ the hyper-addictive mobile Pictionary-style game. OMGPOP was recently purchased for $180 million by Zynga, who would probably want some return on investment (we hope they’d take $330 million; $150 million for a week of babysitting is a pretty good deal).    Additionally, social media and web news blog Mashable is reportedly in talks to sell to CNN. Let’s win the bidding war with the remaining $310 million of your jackpot. Boom: two hot digital properties are all yours. Just rock a cardigan, some skinny jeans and dress sneakers, and you’re a media mogul.

Even if you paid $5 million for the nicest Wagner and $2 million for the other 59, you’d still have them all for $123 million, leaving you with $517 million, or enough to buy 10,350,350 complete sets of 2012 Topps baseball cards at $49.95 per set.

At $4.65 a pound, bacon sure is getting expensive. But with $640 million, who cares? You could buy enough bacon to build life-size replicas of the Statue of Liberty (450K lbs.), Washington Monument (80 M lbs.), the Eiffel Tower (20.2 M lbs.) and Stonehenge (2.4 M lbs.
