Louisiana Man Claims $97 Million Powerball Jackpot from January
After nearly four months of keeping a secret, 73-year-old Carl Hunter of Metairie claimed the $97 million Powerball jackpot from the Jan. 16 drawing
at Louisiana Lottery headquarters. His prize was the largest single amount won in the Louisiana Lottery’s history.
The owner of a construction company, Hunter wanted to make sure his outstanding jobs were complete before closing up shop. He said he plans to use his winnings to retire,
travel and rebuild a camp he lost during Hurricane Katrina. Hunter was picking up a gallon of milk for his wife when he decided to also purchase one Powerball quick pick at West Metairie Shell on West Metairie Avenue in Metairie. There was a person in line in front of me and behind me also purchasing tickets for the drawing. Hunter chose the cash option.
