Louisiana Powerball Player Wins $150,000 as Jackpot Nears $1 Billion

Louisiana Powerball Ticket Wins $150,000 as Jackpot Nears $1 Billion

The Powerball jackpot is getting closer to the $1 billion mark after Monday night’s drawing ended without a jackpot winner.

While nobody matched all the numbers for the top prize, a lucky player in Livingston Parish scored a $150,000 win.

The Louisiana Lottery Corporation said the winning ticket was purchased by a Walker resident at Hit N Run Food Stores #4 on Walker Road South.

The ticket matched the required numbers and included the Power Play option. Because the player added the extra $1 feature, the prize was tripled, according to the Louisiana Lottery.

The winning numbers from Monday night were:

• White balls: 6, 37, 54, 55, 64
• Powerball: 10

The next Powerball drawing is set for Wednesday, August 12, with the massive jackpot continuing to grow after another rollover.

Key takeaway: One Louisiana player may not have won the billion-dollar jackpot, but they’re still walking away with a life-changing $150,000 prize.
