BATON ROUGE – No one has stepped forward to claim a $10,000 Louisiana Lottery Powerball prize won on Oct. 6, 2012. The winning ticket was purchased at Kajan Mart #2 on Veterans Drive in Carencro and is set to expire April 4.

The winning ticket matched four of the five whiteball numbers drawn and the red Powerball number. The winning numbers for the Oct. 6 drawing were 15 - 26 - 34 - 36 - 59 and the Powerball number was 35.  

The holder of the winning ticket has until 5 p.m. on the date of expiration to claim the prize, subject to the Lottery’s hours of operation. Winnings are subject to applicable federal and state tax withholdings.  Prizes greater than $600 may be claimed at any of the Lottery’s five regional offices located throughout the state or Lottery headquarters in Baton Rouge.

“We look forward to the winner coming forward to claim this prize.  In the meantime, the individual should treat the ticket as cash,” said Lottery President Rose Hudson.  “It is also a good idea to sign the back of the ticket for security purposes.”

Southern University will offer high school senior scholarships and information on exciting paths of study at its annual “College Night On The Bluff”  on Tuesday, Feb. 26 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the F.G. Clark Activity Center in Baton Rouge.

The University is inviting not only high school seniors, but also juniors, their parents, and others considering Southern.

Representatives from the various disciplines and staff will be on hand to discuss financial aid, student life, academics – essentially everything needed to become a successful student at Southern.

Qualifying students will receive scholarship offers on the spot. Also, students who meet entrance criteria for Southern will have their names placed in a raffle in which they could win scholarship funds to the Baton Rouge campus.
