Louisiana Lottery Confirms $30,000 Mega Millions Win on Tuesday
One Louisiana lottery player and fan of the multi-state lottery game Mega Millions got a really nice day-after-Christmas present. It came in the form of a $30,000 win in Tuesday night's drawing. The win has been confirmed by the Louisiana Lottery and the Mega Millions official site as well.
If you missed Tuesday's drawing (12/26/2023). Here it is.
Last night's top prize was an annuitized $73 million. Here's how the numbers came out of the hopper:
08 10 22 58 64 Mega Ball 21 Megaplier x3
You can confirm your numbers when you verify your ticket at the official Mega Millions website. As we mentioned a $30,000 winner was sold in Louisiana for the Tuesday draw.
Next door in Texas, the Texas Lottery has confirmed a $10,000 win and also a $30,000 win. The difference in the payout is that one ticket opted for the Megaplier which in this case was x3 and the other did not.
In Louisiana where lottery players have yet to win a Mega Millions jackpot there was a single win of $30,000 as well as a host tickets that will cash out well above the purchase prices of $2 bucks, $3 with Megaplier. More than 200 tickets sold in Louisiana for last night's Mega Millions game are winners of $10 bucks or more.
Here's what we have confirmed about the $30,000 win from Tuesday's Mega Millions game. We know the ticket matched four of the five white balls and the Mega Ball. The ticket's purchaser also opted-in on the Megaplier. The ticket was sold at a Racetrac Convenience Store in Terrytown Louisiana. Which is in the greater New Orleans area.
Tonight's Powerball drawing will be for an estimated $700 million if you take the annuity. There will also be drawings for Lotto which has a top prize of $1.7 million and Easy 5 which has a top prize of $80,000. Those drawings are schedule to begin at 10 pm tonight.
