Did Anyone in Louisiana Win Record Powerball Jackpot?

Everywhere I went over the past few days, folks were talking about the Powerball jackpot. The prize has been growing quickly since the Wednesday night drawing.

That talk will continue at least until Monday night. There was no big winner Saturday night, so the jackpot for Monday night's drawing climbs to a whopping $1.9 billion dollars. The lump sum payout will reach $929 million.

Here Are the Winners in Louisiana of Some of the Cash:

A Shreveport ticket sold at the Super S store on Roy Road is worth $50,000

Another ticket sold at Go Bears in Grand Coteau is worth $50 grand and a ticket sold at the Perkins Road Circle K in Baton Rouge also wins $50,000 dollars.

The Saturday night prize climbed to a record breaking $1.657 billion dollars. That easily surpasses the largest jackpot of all time. The previous top dog among lottery prizes was $1.5 billion dollar Powerball from 2016. That prize was split by 3 winning tickets. 2nd on the list of all time prizes is now the $1.537 billion Mega Millions from October 2018. One lucky ticket won that jackpot.

The winning numbers Saturday were 28, 45, 53, 56, 69 and a Powerball of 20.
