If you bought a Powerball ticket for last night’s drawing or for the two previous drawings, check your numbers.
Tickets sold in the New Orleans metro won $50,000 by matching four white balls and the Powerball. One such ticket for Saturday’s drawing was purchased at South Lake Foods in Violet.
According to the Louisiana Lottery’s website, that winning ticket is the second one to be sold in St. Bernard Parish in the last week. A ticket purchased from the Meraux Food Store in Chalmette won $50,000 in last Monday’s (December 16) drawing.
The third winning ticket in Greater New Orleans was purchased on the Westbank. Lottery officials say the $50,000 winner was purchased for last Wednesday’s (December 18) drawing. The winner bought the ticket from Quick’s Food Store in Marrero.
The winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes.
