Not a chance. Consider that we have working quantum annealers (the D-Wave machines), but they cost ~20 million dollars; and there are no real working gate model machines beyond a few qubits that don't seem to be particularly useful (i.e. nobody's done anything meaningful with them).

The best bet you have for now if you're interested in quantum computing is to check out D-Wave Leap https://www.dwavesys.com/take-leap and see if you can make an annealer do something useful via their cloud service. If you're solving tough optimization problems it's apparently useful.

Good to know, thanks for the link.
