The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $1.2 billion this week — the fourth-largest in US history. And, according to Powerball, the odds of winning are pretty slim, about 1 in 292.2 million. But it got us thinking, what could we buy in Fort Worth if we had all that money? Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling.
Real Estate 🏡
$7.9 million | The most expensive home on the market | The 4,261-sqft ranch-style home is located at 4721 Rendon Rd. — about 15 minutes from downtown — and sits on 200 acres of land. It features six bedrooms, 2.5 baths and is listed by Williams Trew.
Indulge 🍦
$500 million | 55 million ice cream pints from MELT Ice Cream | Why not split the winnings on sweets? We’d pick up several million tubs of Rocky Road, Salt Lick, and Strawberry ice cream.
World Travel ✈️
$10,000 | First class, round-trip flight from DFW Airport to Hong Kong | The American Airlines flight is 17 hours long, traveling about 8,000 miles — making it the second-lengthiest journey from DFW Airport.
Shopping 👢
$500 million | 1 million pairs of Justin Cowgal boots | Sprucing up our wardrobe is a must — these 13" boots are part of the AQHA collection and feature a full quill ostrich vamp and a rustic cowhide upper.
