Prairieville Man Takes Home $450,000 Easy 5 Jackpot

BATON ROUGE — After purchasing an Easy 5 quick pick ticket that matched all five numbers, Prairieville resident Atwood Miller won the $450,000 jackpot during the April 11 drawing. 

He purchased his ticket from Murphy USA #7684 on Airline Highway in Prairieville and claimed his prize at the Lottery’s Baton Rouge headquarters on Tuesday, April 14, where he took home $328,500 after state and federal tax withholdings. 

“We are incredibly excited for Mr. Miller on his Easy 5 win and can’t wait to see even more winners as we continue to celebrate the Lottery’s 35th anniversary!” said Lottery President Rose Hudson. 

The winning numbers for the April 11 drawing were 05-17-22-25-37, and the Easy 5 jackpot had been rolling since January 10. 

Murphy USA will receive a $4,500 bonus, or 1% of the prize amount, for selling the ticket.  

Rebecca Calloway, who’s been a cashier at Murphy USA for over three years, was incredibly excited to find out the ticket she sold to Mr. Miller was the jackpot winner and took a photo holding the store’s “We Sold the Winning Ticket” banner.
