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.

Another $50,000 winner was also sold in Metairie for last night's Powerball drawing.

They shook hands back in 1992 and promised each other that if either one of them ever won the Powerball jackpot, they would split the winnings.

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.

A $50,00 Powerball winner was drawn on the Fourth of July while an Easy 5 ticket sold in Kaplan is worth $95,000.

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.
