The Louisiana Lottery made another millionaire this morning as it announced the results of its
Millionaire Bonus Raffle finale drawing. In addition to the $1 million winner, 20 additional raffle numbers won $20,000 each. Millionaire Bonus Raffle offered Lottery players their best odds to win $1 million, with only 300,000 tickets originally available for sale at $10 each.
