An impromptu trip to a local retailer in Cameron to buy snacks turned into a big win for Louisiana Lottery player Maxwell Gluckler, who won $50,004 playing Powerball.

The 28-year-old from Stuart, Fla., who works in Cameron, said he’s going to use his winnings to put a down payment on a house in his hometown.

“This really is enough to change your life,” Glucker said of his prize amount.

One of Gluckler’s winning tickets matched all four white-ball numbers and the red Powerball number to win $50,000 for the Feb. 6 drawing. On another ticket, he also won $4 by matching the red Powerball number.

The winning tickets were purchased at Darla-K Food Mart in Cameron. Gluckler received $35,004 after federal and state taxes were withheld.

Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. Draw-style game tickets must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing. Anyone who may have a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem should call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help.
