If you win, and if you only walk away with 300 million after taxes and if you can get a 4% return, then:

You will make 12 million a year interest
Just to spend the interest, you would have to spend 33 thousand dollars a day, or 2 thousand dollars every hour of the 16 hours you are awake each day.
All that money without ever touching the principal.
