Louisiana at a glance
Movers this week
No game moved more than a tenth of a payout point in the last seven days; Louisiana publishes claims in small batches, so most weeks are quiet.

About Louisiana scratch-offs
Louisiana sells scratch-offs in price points from $1 to $20, and it does something no other state on this site does: it publishes the odds of every single prize level, not just the overall odds of the game. That means the numbers on this page are Louisiana's own figures rather than ours. Everywhere else we either divide a published ticket count by the prizes in each tier, or spread one overall odds figure across the prize table; here there is nothing to derive. The Louisiana Lottery also publishes how many prizes each game started with and how many have been claimed, which is everything the analysis needs. Our methodology page explains how the other states differ.
One limitation worth stating. Louisiana does not publish a last-day-to-sell or last-day-to-claim date on a game's own page, so unlike most states here we cannot tell you when a game is about to end. Every game listed on this page is one the Lottery currently lists as available. What the data does show plainly is how much of a game has already been claimed, which is usually the more useful signal.
Where to buy: licensed retailers across Louisiana, typically convenience stores, grocery stores and gas stations. Prizes up to $600 can be claimed at any retailer. Larger prizes are claimed at a Lottery district office or headquarters in Baton Rouge, or by mail; the back of the ticket carries the exact instructions, and you have 90 days from the announced end of the game to claim.
Tax: Louisiana withholds 4.25% state tax and 24% federal on prizes over $5,000. Withholding is not the same as what you finally owe, which depends on your total income for the year. For anything large enough to change your tax bracket, talk to an accountant before you claim.
A word on what these numbers can and cannot do. Scratch-off outcomes are fixed when the tickets are printed; nothing you read here changes the ticket in your hand. What the data does tell you is which games currently return more of each dollar to players and which still have their big prizes outstanding. Over many tickets that is a real difference in how much you lose. It is never an edge: every Louisiana scratch-off returns less than it costs, by design.
Louisiana scratch-offs: common questions
- Which Louisiana scratch-off has the best odds right now?
- On September 22, 2026, Louisiana Seasons (#1605, $10) has the best chance of winning any prize at 1 in 2.83, based on the prizes still unclaimed against the tickets we estimate remain.
- Which Louisiana scratch-off pays out the most?
- 100x The Cash (#1640, $20) leads on current payout at 90.5%, meaning about $18.10 of every $20 ticket comes back to players from the remaining prize pool.
- What are the odds of winning more than the ticket price?
- The best profit odds in Louisiana today belong to Fire/Ice (#1689, $20) at 1 in 3.96. Most games sit between 1 in 8 and 1 in 20 once break-even prizes are excluded.
- Which price point is the best value in Louisiana?
