Lottery tickets mistakenly sold

BATON ROUGE, La. -- About 5,000 Louisiana lottery tickets were mistakenly sold for a Sunday drawing that did not take place, the Louisiana Lottery Corporation said.

The corporation did not schedule a drawing Sunday because of the Easter holiday. However, some merchants sold Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets before the error was caught, said Randy Davis, the lottery corporation's president.

Davis said people who bought tickets for a Sunday drawing can either receive a refund or have their tickets entered in Monday's drawing.
