LOTTERY players in one state can win thousands of dollars in lottery winnings.
Three Powerball tickets in Louisiana are unclaimed and available for a limited time only.
The tickets, each worth US$50,000, have a total of US$150,000 up for grabs.
However, lottery winners have a limited time to claim their money.
One ticket, purchased at Brothers Food Mart in Metairie, outside New Orleans, expires September 14.
Another came from Lakeview Discount in New Orleans.

This expires on October 3rd.
The most recent prize of $50,000 came from Baton Rouge.
It expires in January 2025.
HOW IT WORKS
Powerball is a nationally designed game.
This means matching the numbers on your ticket to the randomly drawn balls.
Draws are held three times a week.
If some of your numbers match, you’re in luck.
Prizes vary depending on how many matches a winning ticket has.
Although the three Louisiana winners didn’t win the jackpot, they did manage to win thousands.
Tickets are normally $2 a piece.
