Pick 4 — Louisiana

Pick 4 is drawn daily at 9:59 PM CDT. Times are local to Louisiana. Ticket sales cut off shortly before each drawing — often 10–60 minutes for state games — so buy early on draw days. Winning numbers appear on this page within minutes of the draw.

The latest Pick 4 drawing, on Wed, Aug 26, 2026, drew 2, 3, 8, 3. See the full result and prize breakdown, or the last-30-draws table above for history.

In most fixed-payout states a $1 straight (exact order) pays $5,000 at odds of 1 in 10,000, and a $1 box (any order) pays roughly $200–$1,200 depending on how many arrangements your digits have. Exact amounts vary by state — check the official prize chart. Full explainer: straight vs box bets and every payout.

Powerball is drawn Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET and Mega Millions Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 PM ET — the same in every state. Louisiana's own draw games run on local time: daily numbers games (Pick 3/Pick 4-style) typically draw at midday and again in the evening, and lotto-style games draw at night. Each game's page on Lottery Atlas shows its exact draw time and days — see the game list on this page, or the full schedule guide at what time are lottery drawings.

Live jackpots for every Louisiana lottery game are shown on this page next to each game's latest winning numbers, and the current Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots appear at the top. Jackpot amounts update automatically after each drawing, and every game page shows the next draw time alongside the advertised jackpot.

You must be at least 21 years old to purchase a lottery ticket in Louisiana. Retailers check ID at the point of sale, and tickets sold to minors are void.

No. Louisiana requires that winners' names (and often city of residence) be released as public record. Some winners reduce exposure by claiming through a trust or LLC where state law permits — talk to a lottery attorney before claiming.

Louisiana withholds 4.25% in state tax withholding (in addition to 24% federal withholding on prizes over $5,000). Your final tax liability depends on your total income for the year — most jackpot winners land in the top federal bracket of 37%, so the effective combined rate is typically 37–45% after April 15. Consult a tax professional before cashing a large prize.

You have 180 days from the draw date to claim a winning ticket in Louisiana. After that, the prize is forfeited and (in most states) returned to the lottery's beneficiary fund. If you're choosing the cash option on a jackpot, the deadline to elect cash is usually 60 days from the claim date.

Lottery proceeds in Louisiana primarily fund Minimum Foundation Program (K-12). After paying prizes and operating costs, the remaining revenue is transferred to the state's beneficiary account.
