Louisiana Lottery Reveals Powerball Results From Wednesday’s Draw

Based on what we have learned covering the Louisiana Lottery and the people who play its games over the past decade we can tell you there are about 13% more people playing the Powerball this week than were playing it about a month ago. Sure, a month ago the Louisiana Lottery and the Powerball were offering a life-changing jackpot of several hundred million dollars but for some players, it's got to be more than that.

Well, we can officially announce "The Powerball is now More Than That". Retailers around South Louisiana who sell lottery tickets say the current Powerball jackpot of more than three-quarters of a billion dollars combined with the recent Mega Millions jackpot of over one billion dollars has kept their clerks and cashiers hopping.

Wednesday night, March 27, 2024, the Powerball game held a drawing for an estimated annuitized amount of $873.1 million. Here's how that drawing played out.

The numbers that came bounding out of the hopper last night were:

37   46   57   60   66   Powerball 08  Power Play x2

You may verify your numbers at the Official Powerball Website or the Louisiana Lottery website. You may submit more than one ticket number at the Louisiana Lottery site, just in case you purchased a handful of tickets hoping to increase your odds of winning.

I can tell you right now if you did buy a lot of tickets hoping to score a big win, it didn't work. There was no jackpot winner in Wednesday's Powerball drawing. There were three Match 5 millionaires though. Those big-money tickets were sold in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

The Louisiana Lottery has confirmed that the largest prize earned by a Louisiana-sold ticket for Powerball on Wednesday was just $200. And, there were only 13 tickets sold that earned that amount.

The Louisiana Lottery also confirmed that Wednesday's other draw games, Lotto and Easy 5 did not produce jackpot winners either. So, Saturday Powerball, Lotto, and Easy 5 will all be looking to enhance your wealth should you choose to play.

By the way, the new Powerball jackpot is going to be an estimated $935 million for the annuity and if you opt for a lump sum, should you win, you'd get $449.7 million before the tax man reaches into your wallet.
