I would imagine that somewhere in Louisiana this morning some lucky lottery player is waking up with a lot more holly jolly in their Christmas than they had yesterday at this time. That s because someone who purchased a Powerball lottery ticket in Louisiana for last night s drawing is now $50,000 better off.
There was no big jackpot winner in last night s Powerball drawing and the ticket sold in Louisiana captured one of the game s top prizes. According to the Louisiana Lottery winner information page, the $50,000 winner matched four of the five white-ball numbers in the game. The ticket holder also matched the Powerball. The ticket purchaser did not opt for the Powerplay add-on.
