Hard to imagine your bank account showing a balance of $800,000,000......I wonder if the winner would suffenly qualify to be on the list of america's richest people

It depends how far down the list you want to go, and how you define America's richest people. The richest American is Bill Gates, worth $76 billion. As of March 2015, the U.S. has 536 billionaires. So, no, you wouldn't make it anywhere that list, but you would still have more money than about 320 million Americans.
