The problem with building the world's best power inverter in your garage is: Who do you sell it to? It's only worth $250M if you can connect with the buyer who is prepared to spend that much. The real value with something like a $1M prize is that it will lead to interest from people who are prepared to pay $250M. $1M for non-exclusive rights may be cheap for Google, but it is probably still good value for the inventor if it leads to bigger things.
