Louisiana Lottery's own games
Louisiana Lottery runs draw games of its own, and their results are not in our database yet. Louisiana Lottery publishes its own results here.
What is on this page instead is the part nobody else computes: what the multi-state games are worth under Louisiana's rules, which is not what they are worth under anyone else's.

Louisiana lottery questions
- What lottery games can you play in Louisiana?
- Mega Millions and Powerball, plus Louisiana Lottery's own draw games and scratch tickets. We publish the multi-state analysis and the Louisiana rules; Louisiana Lottery's own draw games are not in our database yet.
- Does Louisiana sell Power Play and Double Play?
- Power Play, yes — $1 a play. Double Play, no: 30 of the 48 lotteries sell it and Louisiana is not one of them, so a Louisiana line tops out at $3.
- How much tax does Louisiana withhold from lottery winnings?
- 4.25%, held back before the cheque is written and on top of 24% federal withholding. Withholding is not the final bill. The calculator works out what you would actually keep.
- Which Louisiana lottery game has the best odds?
- Mega Millions, at 1 in 23.07 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much. A scratch-off is a different proposition again: the best on sale in Louisiana now returns about 90 cents on the dollar.
- Where do these Louisiana numbers come from?
- The multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The Louisiana rules on this page were read from powerball.com and Louisiana Lottery on 2026-09-22.
About the Louisiana Lottery
Louisiana Lottery sells Powerball and Mega Millions alongside its own games. One of the five jurisdictions where you must be 21, not 18. You must be 21 to buy a ticket, and a winning ticket has to be claimed in the jurisdiction where it was sold. louisianalottery.com
Every jurisdiction is listed on the lottery hub — including Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah, which run no lottery at all.
