$34.1 Million Powerball Jackpot Won in Louisiana

One lucky ticket in Louisiana matched all 6 numbers Saturday and walked away with the $34.1 million jackpot. The holder of the winning ticket will now have to decide to either take the 29-year, 30-installment annuity, or the one time cash “lump sum” amount of $16,195,787.
Other big winners included 5 tickets that matched all 5 white ball numbers with the Power Play option for an $800,000 cash win each. These lucky tickets were sold in Indiana (1), Louisiana (1), Rhode Island (1), and Tennessee (2). Eight other tickets in Indiana (1), Maine (1), North Carolina (1), Oklahoma (1), Pennsylvania (3), and Tennessee (1) had all 5 white ball numbers correct for $200,000 each. There were a total of 478,922 additional winning tickets in America’s Game Saturday evening. Those winners won prizes totaling $10,450,970.

The numbers drawn were 3, 9, 14, 17, 25 and the Powerball was 8. The Power Play multiplier was 4.

Additional major winners Saturday evening included thirty-three tickets that matched 4 white ball numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Fourteen additional players not only matched 4+1, but also purchased the Power Play option, multiplying their prize by 4 for a total win of $40,000!

A total of 102,382 winning Powerball plays were multiplied by 4 Saturday evening. Winners were able to do so by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you can multiply your winnings, except for the jackpot, from 2 to 5 times. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.

Players purchased $19,160,977 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Thursday and Saturday night.

The jackpot for Wednesday, June 4th will be $15 million.
