Winner Details Confirmed – Louisiana Powerball Wins Revealed

(KMDL-FM) Saturday night, the Louisiana Lottery, along with several other lottery jurisdictions across the nation, participated in the Powerball Lottery drawing. That multi-state drawing featured an annuitized jackpot prize of almost $60 million ($58.6 million). There was no jackpot winner, but two Louisiana tickets were big winners, and a little over 4,000 players in Louisiana took home a prize.

Winning big in the Powerball game is nothing new for Louisiana players. The game has yielded 17 jackpot wins during its history in Louisiana. We have played Powerball here since 1995. The other multi-state lottery game, Mega Millions has only been played in Louisiana since 2010, and the state has never had a jackpot winner in that game.

And while Louisiana has not had jackpot winners in Powerball this year, the state's lottery players have met with a lot of good fortune in that game. There have been multiple big wins reported in the state in the first month of 2026. Based on what happened on Saturday, January 31, 2026, we seemed to be poised for even more winners here in The Boot.

Where Can I See the Powerball Drawing for January 31, 2026?

Here is the Powerball drawing from this past Saturday, in case you missed it.

In the wee small hours of Sunday morning, our sources at Powerball confirmed that no tickets had matched the numbers needed to claim the game's jackpot. They also confirmed that the largest prize awarded in Saturday's Powerball drawing belonged to a Louisiana-sold ticket.

No, it wasn't the only ticket that earned that prize, but it was one of them, and if another Louisiana player had opted for the Power Play option in the game, we would have had two tickets winning a massive prize of $150,000.

What we could not confirm for you yesterday, we can now confirm today. We know where the big money winners were sold. Here are the numbers from Saturday's Powerball drawing.

What Were the Winning Powerball Numbers for Saturday, January 31, 2026?

The numbers for January 31, 2026, were:

02   08   14   40   63   Powerball 23   Power Play x3

The Louisiana Lottery has confirmed that one of the big money winners that matched four of five white balls and the Powerball was sold in Baker, Louisiana. The ticket was purchased at the C&H Mart on Main Street in Baker. That ticket purchaser did not opt for the Power Play. Their prize is $50,000 according to the rules of the game.

The other Louisiana Powerball winner did have the Power Play option on their ticket. They too matched four of five white balls and the Powerball. But instead of just $50,000, that ticket is worth $150,000 because of the "3x" multiplier from Power Play.

The $150,000 winner was sold in Monroe, Louisiana. Our sources at the Louisiana Lottery confirmed the big winner was sold at the Now Save #2 on Winnsboro Road. I am sure that with all the ice and snow and power outages the Monroe area has experienced, this lottery win probably came at a very good time.

Can Lottery Winners Remain Anonymous in Louisiana?

The Louisiana Lottery does not actively reveal the identity of winners; lottery winners are not truly anonymous in the state. All you have to do is look at the Department of Revenue, and you can piece together who or what entity was paid a large amount, and you can figure it out. It's usually on Lotologists such as myself and scammers that want to know that level of detail. Okay, divorce attorneys maybe but I count them as scammers, don't you?

The next Powerball drawing is tonight, Monday, February 2, 2026. The estimated annuitized Powerball jackpot is $65 million. Remember, most people lose money when they play lottery games.
