It’s hard not to stare out the window and dream about your plans after hearing that Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot is $350 million.

According to Washington’s Lottery, that’s enough money to buy an $18,000 motorcycle for everyone in Adams County (pop. 4,100).

If that means nothing to you, how about buying a home in Washington wine country (up to $780,000) for every person living in Sprague (pop.445).

Wow, just telling someone they could live off the annual interest alone at one percent is probably enough.

If you’re extra lucky, you’ll win Mega Millions Tuesday night at $170 million for a combined jackpot of $520 million.

The Powerball drawing is Wednesday at 8:00 p.m.
