How many winning tickets where there for the Louisiana Powerball Lottery?
Play the multistate, multimillion dollar jackpot game from the Louisiana Lottery with jackpots that start at $20 million and keep growing until there is a winner. You could be the next Louisiana millionaire or win one of eight other Powerball prizes. The profits generated from Louisiana Powerball as well as other Louisiana Lottery games are transferred to the state treasury. Jackpot Prize The advertised Powerball jackpot represents an estimate of the annuity amount, which is paid in 30 graduated annual installments that increase by 4 percent each year. The first installment is paid at the time the prize is claimed. Winners also have the option to take a one-time lump sum payment equal to the cash value of the jackpot prize pool. The cash value represents the amount of money the Lottery would have invested to provide the 30-installment annuity option. Visit Powerball’s Web site for the cash value of the current jackpot. Winners have 60 days from the date of the claim to select a payment
$232.1 Million Powerball Jackpot Won in Winner, South Dakota One lucky ticket sold in the town of Winner, South Dakota (really!) matched all 6 numbers Wednesday and won the $232.1 million jackpot. Other lucky big winners Wednesday night included 4 tickets sold in Arizona (1), Connecticut (2), and Kentucky (1) that matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won $1 million cash each. This was a result of the new Power Play feature that turns any match 5 white ball win with the Power Play into a 5X multiplier and pushes the prize up to $1 million cash! Twelve other lucky tickets in Colorado (1), Florida (3), Indiana (1), Minnesota (1), North Carolina (1), Pennsylvania (3), South Carolina (1), and Wisconsin (1) matched all 5 white ball numbers without the multiplier for a sensational $200,000 cash win on each.
