October 11, 2011
Going on a cruise, treating co-workers to lunch and repairing vehicles are just some of the ways winners of the Louisiana Lottery's scratch-off games planned to spend the more than $8.4 million in prizes claimed during September. The Lottery also reported more than $5.9 million won from draw-style game tickets for drawings held in September.
September's draw-style game winnings included an Easy 5 jackpot totaling $98,534, eight Powerball prizes of $10,000 each, and 122 match-5 Lotto prizes averaging $2,072 each. Pick 3 winning tickets totaled $1,613,260, and Pick 4 winning tickets totaled $2,012,300.
Easy 5 prizes totaled $267,185 with an additional $189,261 won in ezmatch prizes. For an additional $1, players can add ezmatch to their Easy 5 ticket for the chance to win up to $250 instantly.
"More than 30,000 Power Play purchasers won a bonus total of $346,213 in addition to their regular Powerball prize," Lottery President Rose Hudson said. For an additional $1, the Power Play option offers Powerball ticket purchasers the chance to increase any nonjackpot-related prize up to five times.
In total, draw-style game winnings from drawings held in September were $5,972,559. Lottery draw-style game players have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim the winnings from those tickets.
