Two million five hundred thousand/ Two millions and five hundred thousand

Hi,

Two million five hundred thousand/ Two millions and five hundred thousand/ Two million and five hundred thousand.

Are all of them acceptable?

Thanks

We don't usually pluralize 'milllion' as is done in Spanish. We usually omit the 'and' exept in longer phrases, where we finally end up with something like: He won three million, two hundred thousand, five hundred (and) four dollars at the lottery.

Would it be wrong to use 'in the lottery'?

Thanks.
