Mega Millions Results – Louisiana Lottery Confirms ’10x’ Payouts

(Baton Rouge, LA) Tuesday night was a big lottery night in Louisiana. While the sheer number of games being played across the state isn't that large, the amount of money that a player in Livingston, Erath, Sulphur, Many, or Zwolle could win was certainly worth considering.

If you weren't aware, the Mega Millions multi-state lottery draws on Tuesday in Louisiana, and last night lottery players across the state had the chance to enhance their personal net worth by a tidy sum of $173 million for the estimated annuitized jackpot. Or, a player who matched all the numbers needed could opt for the cash payout or lump sum, as we like to call it, which was estimated to be $75.7 million on Tuesday night.

What Was the Largest Lottery Prize Won in Louisiana on Tuesday Night?

In Louisiana, the largest single prize earned was a $2,500 payout on a ticket that matched four white balls and had a "5x" multiplier. But even more interesting than that is the number of "10x" Louisiana players garnered in Tuesday's game.

According to our sources at the Louisiana Lottery, 74 winning tickets sold for last night's game had their prize money multiplied times ten. There were 52 tickets sold in Louisiana that only matched the Mega Ball, but because of the "10x" multiplier, those tickets are worth $50 this morning.
