A Powerball ticket purchased during a trip to Rouses Market in Houma is worth $200,000 after the Saturday, July 18, 2026 drawing. The Louisiana Lottery confirmed the winning ticket was sold at the store on East Park Avenue.
The prize came from a drawing with a $526 million estimated annuitized jackpot, although no ticket matched every number required to win the top prize. The jackpot is now expected to rise to $544 million for the next Monday drawing.

A second major Powerball prize for Louisiana
The Houma ticket marked Louisiana’s second significant Powerball win that week. A $2 million Powerball ticket had been sold in Violet for the Wednesday drawing.
Louisiana also had an Easy 5 jackpot winner in Lake Charles that Wednesday, with that ticket worth $100,000. KPEL 96.5 reported that the Saturday Powerball drawing also produced two $1 million tickets in Arizona and Massachusetts.
Five tickets elsewhere matched four white balls plus the Powerball, which carries a standard $50,000 prize. Those players selected Power Play, and the x4 multiplier raised each prize to $200,000.
Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing was scheduled to offer an estimated $707 million jackpot. Lottery games involve the risk of losing money, and Louisiana’s gambling-help line is 1-877-770-STOP (7867).
