(KPEL News) - While no one has won the massive Powerball jackpot that is up for grabs, plenty of people in Louisiana are dreaming about all of the amazing things they could buy if they win the $950,000,000 lottery game.

It's been weeks since the jackpot prize numbers have come up when the Powerball numbers fly. The next drawing will be on Saturday, August 30, at 9:59 p.m.

• I'd buy myself a duck boat.
• I'd vanish.
• I'd take a trip around the world.
• I'd find a lawyer I could trust.

What Louisiana Items Could You Buy, And How Many Of Them Could You Buy?

If you won and received the check for $428.9 million, how many of these Louisiana items could you buy? For example, what if you decided you wanted to gift as many people as possible with an item? How much would your money pay for?

Deluxe Truck

If you plan to live in Louisiana, you may want to consider purchasing a truck with your winnings. Many people in our state own trucks, and the prices can be quite expensive.

Deluxe 90-Quart Crawfish Boiling Kit

If you live in Louisiana, chances are that you love boiled crawfish. If you won all that money, you could give a gift to close to a million people in Louisiana, if you wanted to.

All that money from the cash payout would allow you to buy 953,111 Deluxe 90-quart crawfish boiling kits. With all those people having these kits, during crawfish season, you would never have to worry about where you would get dinner.

Shrimp Boat

What if you love Louisiana seafood? If you wanted to, you could buy a fleet of shrimping boats and become your own shrimpboat captain.

You could have fresh seafood, including delicious boiled shrimp fresh from the Gulf each night, with your own fleet of boats. How many could you buy?

At a cost that averages around $500,000, you could buy   shrimp boats with your money.
