(Baton Rouge, LA) Our dear friend in charge of ink and check writing at the Louisiana Lottery offices in Baton Rouge will need to stock up on supplies. The Louisiana Lottery and Powerball have confirmed two big wins in the state for Saturday night. There was also a jackpot win in Easy 5 on Saturday.
Saturday’s Powerball drawing featured a top prize of $548.7 million for that annuitized jackpot. And while that is an impressive number for any lottery jackpot, most of the recent lottery attention has been on the Mega Millions game.
Mega Millions, much like Powerball, is played across several state lottery jurisdictions. In April of 2025, Mega Millions changed the format of the game in hopes of creating more big winners and bigger jackpots. The game raised ticket prices to $5 and eliminated the “megaplier” function. Instead, all Mega Millions tickets come with a preselected multiplier that can be applied to all prizes except the jackpot.
The jackpot prize in Mega Millions on Friday night was $980 million, almost one billion dollars. So you can see why a lot of lottery players were a little more interested in Mega Millions. By the way, the Mega Millions jackpot was won by a single ticket sold in Georgia.
