Lottery players in Louisiana are certainly seeing more green than red this holiday season. That's because the Louisiana Lottery has confirmed a lot of cold hard green cash will be heading home with at least one lucky lottery player well ahead of Christmas Day.

The Louisiana Lottery and the Powerball game both held big money drawings last night and there were winners. We have confirmed one ticket sold for last night's drawings is worth $110,000 this morning.

Here's the way the Powerball drawing unfolded for December 13, 2023.

By the time the balls were dropped from the hopper, the jackpot total for the Powerball game was set at $504,100,000. That's more than half of a billion dollars. Here are the numbers that were drawn.

You can confirm those numbers when you visit the official Powerball website. That site did confirm some big-money wins in last night's game. There were two Match 5 one million dollar winners sold in both New York and New Jersey. There were also two Match 5 winners who opted in on the Power Play. By rule, those tickets are worth 2 million dollars.

Louisiana Lottery players didn't do well at all in Wednesday's Powerball game. The largest Powerball prize won by a Louisiana-sold ticket was only $200. There were five tickets sold in the state that earned that amount. And, there were 16 tickets sold in Louisiana that earned $100 in last night's game.
