(AP) Saturday night’s $15 million Powerball jackpot was captured by a ticket sold in Chauvin, state lottery officials said.

As of Monday, the winner had not come forward to claim the prize money, lottery officials said.

There also was a $200,000 consolation ticket sold in Baton Rouge. That ticket matched the first five numbers, but, unlike the jackpot winner, missed the Powerball.

Lotto’s top prize went untouched, setting up a jackpot for Wednesday night of an estimated $275,000. Powerball again will have an estimated $15 million jackpot. The Easy 5 jackpot also was missed, setting up a top prize of an estimated $130,000 for Wednesday night.

There were 14 Lotto tickets with five of six numbers, worth $2,147 each. There were 45 Easy 5 tickets with four of five numbers, worth $100 each.

The Powerball numbers were 31-33-38-49-55, plus Powerball 39.

The Lotto numbers were 8-13-22-30-32-34.

The Easy 5 numbers were 3-19-28-33-36.
