Louisiana lottery winner claims $150,000 Powerball prize

BATON ROUGE, La. (KLFY)— Deridder man took home $150,000 after the Powerball Sept. 1 drawing for the $1.1 billion jackpot.

According to Louisiana Lottery, John Stokes of DeRidder purchased his Powerball ticket hoping to take home the $1.1 billion jackpot. Though he missed the jackpot by one number, he was still able to take home thousands.

The winning numbers for the September 1 Powerball drawing were 08-23-25-40-53, and the red Powerball number was 05. Stokes matched four of the white ball numbers and the red Powerball number correctly and added the Power Play option, which tripled his winnings. 

Stokes shared how he purchased his ticket from Billie’s Wag-A-Bag, LLC on 915 W 1st Street in Deridder, due to its convenient location. The night he purchased the ticket, Stokes said he and his family were about to go to bed when they randomly decided to check the winning numbers. 

“We were shocked and feel so blessed,” Stokes said.

Rose Hudson, Lottery President, shared how excited everyone was to see Stokes claim his prize and hopes to see more Louisiana winners in the future.

“We always love seeing our loyal players, like Mr. Stokes, win big,” Hudson said. “We are excited to see more Louisiana winners come forward during this exciting and historic Powerball Jackpot run.”
