The Powerball Lottery jackpot currently stands at $1.5 billion...that's a lot of cheese. Should a sole winner take the lump sum, they'd have a cool $868 million, after taxes. Sure, you could by a mansion (or 100), or you could blow it all on fast food. Here's how far those dollars will take you at your favorite fast food restaurants.

You could buy 290,301,003 Crunchwrap Supremes and give one to every person in the US (excluding California).
Wendy's
If you picked up 142,528,735 Baconators, you'd have more than twice as many burgers as there are pigs in the US.
