The 'If I Won Powerball' Hashtag Reveals The Dreamer In All Of Us

by Kate Ryan

In case you've been living under a rock, the Powerball jackpot reached a staggering $1.5 billion on Wednesday, and everyone and their dog is scrambling to buy a ticket.

You can't hear about a pile of money that big up for grabs and not think about how you'd spend it.

Personally, I'd upgrade to the newest Prius model (my 2007 is looking like a dirty old sneaker these days). Then, I'd populate a private island with rescue puppies -- all the rescue puppies.

Turns out, I'm not the only one who'd at least try to spend $1.5 billion on puppies.

Twitter users are sounding off on their hypothetical plans using the trending hashtag, #IfIWonPowerball.

Keep scrolling for a taste of the inspiration/strangeness/hilarity below.

And to all you dreamers out there, keep dreaming. Where there's a will, there's a puppy in need of a good home.
