A $20,000 lottery win is certainly big news, but it's most certainly not the largest prize that's ever been won playing lottery games in Louisiana. Our state's lottery players have won multiple jackpots in Powerball, the other multi-state lottery game, but so far, no Louisiana player has ever been able to match the numbers needed to claim a Mega Millions jackpot.

How Much Was the Jackpot in the Powerball Lottery for Monday, March 9, 2026?

And speaking of jackpots, the Mega Millions prize is the one you'd like to win right now if given a choice. Now, they held a drawing in Powerball on Monday night. I will tell you that if you played in Louisiana, you would probably be disappointed in the results.

Here is the Powerball drawing for Monday, March 9, 2026.

The reasons why you'd be disappointed in Monday's Powerball? You didn't win the jackpot, and in fact, if you did win anything, you didn't win much. Such is the life of a lottery player, right?

The largest prize earned by a Louisiana-sold ticket in Monday's Powerball drawing was only $300. Two tickets won that amount. Another three tickets earned a prize of $100. Then the money drops off considerably.

The next Powerball drawing will be on Wednesday night. The estimated annuitized jackpot prize is $58 million. Also on Wednesday, the Louisiana Lottery will conduct drawings for Lotto and Easy 5. Both of those Louisiana games have sizeable jackpots and might be worth a look.

What Were The Powerball Numbers for Monday, March 9, 2026?

The Powerball numbers for March 9, 2026, were:

22   23   28   36   54   Powerball 13   Power Play x3

The big money this week will be in Mega Millions. That jackpot is over half a billion dollars. The official estimated amount is $533 million for the annuity. If you win and want the cash option, your payout would be $244.2 million.

Where Was Louisiana's Huge Mega Millions Winner Sold?

Some unfinished business with Friday's big Mega Millions win, we did confirm that the $20,000 winner was sold in Covington. The ticket was sold at Diaz Market Claiborne Hill Shell on Business 190. So, not only will the ticket's purchaser get a nice prize, but the folks who sold the ticket get a "commission" as well.

Mega Millions will draw tonight at 10 pm. The tickets are $5. Each ticket automatically assigns a multiplier to your winnings. It is absolutely possible that you could earn a prize and have it multiplied by 10. It's not likely, but it is possible. Powerball will also have a 10X multiplier available for those who choose to add Power Play to their ticket when that game draws again on Wednesday.
