Do we get a share of the prize? Factoring a 193 digit number into 2 prime factors could earn you something in the region of $20,000! It's not supposed to be easy - why not initialise your BigInteger array in smaller, bite-size chunks?
If you could do that, you could farm off the processing of each chunk to a different processor, and, given enough processors, find the results you're looking for in less than a year.
I hope I've not jumped to any conclusions here, but please explain further in case I've got the wrong idea.

Reason: $20,000 not $250,000 - though, if you got a good thing going on, you could win all-sorts
