Lake Charles Man Wins Powerball Prize
John Tietje of Lake Charles got himself a very nice birthday present this year when he claimed a $10,000 Powerball prize from the Dec. 12 drawing just days before his birthday.
"I tried to wait until the actual day of my birthday to claim the money, but I was just too excited," said Tietje. "I checked my numbers at least 10 times."
