mega-millions

Over $400 million in lottery prizes are available for players to win during this Thanksgiving week.

It wasn't the top prize but a ticket sold in Crowley for Saturday's Mega Millions game is worth a lot of money.

A ticket sold in Louisiana can lay claim to a $10,000 prize in last night's lottery drawing.

One ticket is worth $150,000 and the other is worth $20,000 make sure you check your numbers.

This is the first time the game has had a big money winner since June.

The Mega Millions jackpot will now restart at $20 million on Tuesday night. The current Powerball jackpot is an estimated $126 million. That drawing will be held on Wednesday.

Right now, both the Mega Millions and Powerball are over $100 Million. Here's what a Louisianian would buy after the big win.

Big money games like Powerball and Mega Millions were down but sales of scratch-off games increased as players found ways to feed their fun.

The winning ticket was purchased for the January 3rd drawing. It matched four of the five numbers and the Mega Ball in the Mega Millions game.

Last night's drawing could signal an end to huge lottery jackpots for the foreseeable future due to changes in the way games like Mega Millions and Powerball are funded.
