Louisiana Lottery players won over $14.6 million in prizes in October, highlighted by three winners of the first-ever Match-5 Bonus prize from the record $340 million Powerball drawing.
The Match-5 winners, Clarence Granger of Gray and R. Oubre' of Gretna each won $853,492. The third ticket was sold in Shreveport, but the winner has not come forward.
President Randy Davis said there were over $9.8 million in Louisiana Powerball, Lotto, Cash Quest, Pick 4 and Pick 3 winnings and over $4.8 million in scratch-off game winnings last month.
October's winners also included two Powerball tickets for $200,000 each, one Lotto ticket that won a $650,000 jackpot prize and 137 Lotto tickets averaging $1,835 each, one Cash Quest jackpot ticket for $50,000 and four Cash Quest ticket for $3,000.

"Last month nearly 27,000 Power Play purchasers won a bonus total of $426,371 in addition to their regular Powerball prize total of $98,412", Davis said.
The Power Play option offers Powerball ticket purchasers the chance to multiply their winnings up to five times on all non-jackpot related prizes for an additional $1. "With the Match-5 prize doubled now to $200,000, Power Play means more million-dollar winners", he added.
Davis reminded ticket purchasers to play responsibly, encouraging anyone who has a gambling problem, or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem, to call toll-free 1-877-770-7867 for help. Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age.
