Ending growing speculation in the capital city about the whereabouts of the Powerball jackpot-winning ticket worth an estimated $85.7 million from the July 31 drawing, Baton Rouge attorney George Bayhi appeared at Lottery headquarters on August 26, 2010 to claimed the prize via a Power of Attorney on behalf of his client, an 11-member family partnership. The group, H & N Family Partnership opted for the lump sum prize payment option equal to the cash value of the jackpot, which was $45,770,486 for the July 31 drawing. Bayhi described his clients as “hardworking, faith-filled Asian Americans who have lived in the Baton Rouge community for over 20 years.” He said the family members, who range from students to business owners, plan to continue working, donate to charitable causes that are dear to them, share with additional family members and upgrade to nicer homes. “They’re on cloud nine right now and have spent many sleepless nights since winning,” said Bayhi. "It’s another exciting day at the Lottery," said Lottery President Rose Hudson. “One of the best parts of our job is getting to hear Louisiana winners’ stories and share in their life-changing experiences.” Bayhi said the family had been playing the Lottery since its inception and had a long-standing agreement to share winnings. The partnership will receive $32,039,340 after state and federal tax withholdings. The winning ticket was sold at Circle K #1905, 9110 Airline Hwy. in Baton Rouge.

Missouri Man Claims $1 Million Prize
The holder of a Powerball ticket worth $1 million from the May 26 drawing has stepped forward to claim his prize.

Simmon said he waited more than two months to claim his prize because he and his wife were “trying to find out how to best handle it.”

Then she yelled at me to come inside, and that’s when we figured it out.”

Simmon, who purchased his ticket at Price Cutter Plus, 2021 W. Republic Road in Springfield, said his newfound winnings are “going into a trust.” His win marks the sixth time a Missouri Lottery player has turned a “Match 5” base prize of $200,000 into $1 million using the Power Play option.
