THIBODAUX, La. (WGNO) — A Thibodaux man might be feeling lucky after years of trying his chances in the lottery ended up with him winning $100,000, which he claimed on July 9.

According to the Louisiana Lottery Corporation, Gerald Morrison was a well known customer at A-1 Farms on Highway 70 Spur in Plattenville, where he eventually bought the winning Powerball lottery ticket, paying an extra $1 for the Power Play option, doubling his winnings from $50,000 to $100,000.
