Louisiana's Powerball Results: What Happened On May 2, 2026?

(KMDL-FM) Lady Luck must be living at the Powerball headquarters because for the second drawing in a row, game officials with Powerball and the Louisiana Lottery have confirmed the game produced a jackpot win. Last Wednesday's Powerball produced a jackpot win and multiple million-dollar winners in Louisiana. Did Saturday's drawing do the same?

Saturday's Powerball jackpot was the "starter amount" of $20 million. In the previous drawing, the game's $143.4 million jackpot was split by two tickets. But because Wednesday's drawing also produced almost 3 dozen millionaire or double-millionaire wins, there was a lot of interest in the drawing for May 2, 2026.

When Someone Wins the Powerball Jackpot, Where Does the Next Jackpot Start?

As we mentioned, the annuitized jackpot was $20 million, and the cash payout, or lump sum, was announced at $9.0 million. Here is how the Powerball drawing for May 2, 2026, played out on Saturday night.

Just as in last Wednesday's Powerball drawing, the jackpot will be split two ways. The winning tickets that matched all five of the white ball numbers and the Powerball were sold in Florida and Texas.

What Was the Largest Prize Awareded in Louisiana For Saturday's Powerball Lottery?

Louisiana players didn't get any of the "mystical Powerball luck" of last Wednesday. The largest prize earned by a Louisiana sold ticket was only $300. That's a far cry from the six different one-million-dollar winners and the five other two-million-dollar winners of last Wednesday.

Still, there were close to 4,000 total winners in Louisiana for Saturday's Powerball drawing. If you'd like to check your numbers, here they are from May 2, 2026.

The Powerball jackpot will once again reset to $20 million for Monday night's game. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, the Lotto jackpot continued to grow. There was no winner in that Louisiana-based lottery game.

The jackpot for Lotto on Wednesday will be over $1.4 million. That's a nice prize considering it only costs one dollar to play. The other Louisiana game that drew on Saturday was Easy 5. That game has been making winners almost every other time they draw; last night was an off night, I guess.

The Easy 5 jackpot on Wednesday will be an estimated $70,000. As we mentioned, the game has been red hot and making a lot of jackpot winners as of late.
