About the Win
Taylor said it feels "cool" to win and plans to pay bills with his winnings.
Taylor's ticket matched four of the five white-ball numbers drawn, but missed the red Powerball number to win $10,000. Because he added the Power Play option to his ticket for an additional $1, his prize was multiplied by two when the Power Play number "2" was selected during the drawing, bringing his total winnings to $20,000.
Taylor purchased his winning ticket from Thirfty Liquor #11 on Airline Drive in Bossier City.
