Lottery players in Louisiana had a profitable weekend this past weekend claiming $1.12 million dollars in big-money prizes between the Mega Millions game and the Powerball Game. While most of the attention of the weekend was focused on the $1.2 billion dollar top prize in the Mega Millions that was won by a single ticket sold in Illinois.

There were plenty of reasons to celebrate in the Bayou State as that same drawing produced a one million dollar winners, two $20,000 winners, and five $10,000 winners. Oh, and the Powerball game on Saturday night produced a $50,000 state sold winner.

Now, for the $20,000 winning tickets. These tickets also matched four of the white balls and the Mega Ball but the ticket purchaser opted to take advantage of the Megaplier option. That Megaplier for the 07/29/22 drawing was x2 so the amounts are doubled.

Here's where the $20,000 tickets were sold:

The one million dollar prize-winning ticket was sold at :

But as the late Billy Mays would say, but wait, there's more. We still need to tell you about Saturday's $50,000 Powerball-winning ticket. That ticket was sold for the Saturday, July 30th drawing at Fisherman's One Stop in St Amant Louisiana.

That ticket purchaser matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball to earn that prize. There were no notable wins in Louisiana for last night's (08/01/22) Powerball game.

As a reminder, the Mega Millions game starts with a brand new jackpot of $20 million tonight. The cash option is $11.6 million which is still plenty of money to change most people's lives. Remember if you choose to play lottery games of any kind only spend what you can afford to lose. If you or someone you know needs help with a gambling issue call 1800-770 STOP (7867)
