Powerball – Three Louisiana Tickets Claim Big Money Prizes

The Louisiana Lottery has confirmed that three tickets sold in the state for last night's (11/02) Powerball drawing are major prize winners. However, no single ticket sold for last night's game matched the numbers needed to claim Powerball's top prize of $1.2 billion dollars. That means the jackpot will continue to rise as we move toward the next drawing which is scheduled for Saturday night.

Officials with the Louisiana Lottery have confirmed that three state-sold tickets can lay claim to some of the Powerball game's top prizes. There were two $50,000 winners sold in the state as well as a $100,000 winner.

While there were no jackpot winners sold for Wednesday's Powerball that doesn't mean there weren't a lot of big-money winners. Tickets sold in Arkansas, Montana, and New Jersey matched all five of the white ball numbers and they had opted-in on the Power Play so those tickets are valued at $2 million dollars this morning.

There was also a multitude of $1 million dollar winners in last night's game. Tickets sold in Arizona, California Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia all made someone an instant millionaire. Those tickets matched all five of the white balls but did not opt for the Power Play.
