I am really dreaming big these days and I am not alone. The Powerball jackpot is stirring up folks all around Louisiana. There was no winner in the Monday night drawing for $1 billion dollars. This means the jackpot for Wednesday night now climbs to

$1.20 billion. The onetime, lump sum payoff would be $596 million.
