Bossier City Man Claims $200,000 Powerball Prize

David Miller of Bossier City was the picture of calm when he arrived at the Lottery's Shreveport office to claim a $200,000 match-5 Powerball prize from the April 21 drawing.

Miller's ticket matched all five white-ball numbers drawn, but missed the red Powerball number to win $200,000.

Miller shared that his Powerball win came at the perfect time for him since his son was about to go to college.   

He purchased his winning ticket from J & A Stop N Go on Airline Drive in Bossier City. The store will receive a one-time bonus of $2,000 for selling the winning ticket.

The winning numbers for the April 21 Powerball drawing were 11-34-41-49-55 and the Powerball number was 20.

Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. The Lottery encourages anyone who may have a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem to call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help.
