The Louisiana Lottery has officially published the winning combinations for its suite of daily draw games following the evening drawing conducted on Sept. 13, 2026. Players across the state who purchased entries for the organization's recurring daily games are encouraged to inspect their tickets carefully to determine whether their selections matched the outcomes produced during the Sunday session.
In the Pick 3 drawing, the winning sequence selected for Sept. 13 was 6-9-0. The three-digit contest remains one of the state’s primary daily fixtures, giving participants regular opportunities to secure payouts based on a variety of wagering configurations and exact number alignments.
Alongside the three-digit results, the Louisiana Lottery confirmed the winning line for the Pick 4 game. The numbers drawn for the Sept. 13 contest were 0-2-5-9. Ticket holders who matched the combination can review official prize breakdowns to evaluate the payout corresponding to their specific wager structure.
For participants engaged in the five-digit game, the winning numbers for the Pick 5 drawing were determined as 1-8-8-5-6. Offering a broader combination field, Pick 5 rounds out the lottery’s daily numerical offerings and provides an additional tier of play for regular nighttime participants.
Following the release of the winning figures, lottery officials outlined the formal procedures required for winners to validate and collect their funds. The redemption path varies significantly based on the cash value of the prize, dividing claims into distinct administrative tiers to ensure proper processing and security.
For minor winnings, the prize collection process is designed for immediate convenience. Authorized Louisiana Lottery retailers throughout the state are permitted to redeem winning tickets that carry prize values of up to $600, allowing players to cash in smaller wins directly at local retail counters.
When winnings surpass the $600 threshold, prize claims can no longer be processed at standard retail establishments. Claimants holding tickets valued over $600 are required to submit their winning documentation either by mail or by appearing in person at designated Louisiana Lottery office facilities.
An additional layer of claim procedure applies to substantial payouts that exceed $5,000. Due to elevated verification requirements and standard financial protocols, any prize amount higher than $5,000 cannot be finalized through standard mail channels and must instead be claimed directly at a Louisiana Lottery office.
For players claiming prizes between $600 and $5,000 through the mail, precise instructions must be followed to avoid processing delays. The ticket holder must sign the back of the winning ticket and provide all requested personal details, ensuring that the ticket barcodes remain entirely unobstructed and visible, including the full removal of any latex coating on scratch-off tickets.
Mail-in submissions also require clear photocopies of both the front and the back of the winning ticket, although lottery regulations explicitly note that photocopies are not permitted or accepted for claims involving Powerball or Mega Millions entries. Additionally, players must enclose a legible photocopy of a valid driver's license or current government-issued picture identification.
To complete the postal submission package, claimants must fill out an official Louisiana Lottery Prize Claim Form, which requires an active telephone contact number and an accurate mailing address to ensure the proper delivery of the prize check. All required documents must be enclosed within a single envelope and mailed directly to Louisiana Lottery Headquarters, located at 555 Laurel Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70801.
Players who prefer to present their claims in person may visit the main Louisiana Lottery Headquarters building at 555 Laurel Street in Baton Rouge. The headquarters location can be reached by phone at (225) 297-2000 and operates regular public business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Unlike neighborhood retailers, this central administrative office possesses the authority to validate and disburse prizes of any monetary amount.
Lottery officials also reminded participants of the regular drawing timetables maintained across the state’s entire gaming catalog. The daily sequence of games—comprising Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5—conducts its official drawings every night of the week at precisely 9:59 p.m. Central Time.
The lottery's broader schedule accommodates major multi-state jackpot drawings throughout the week. Powerball drawings are held three times weekly on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings at 9:59 p.m. Central Time, while Mega Millions conducts its national drawings twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday nights at 10:00 p.m. Central Time.
State-specific jackpot games also maintain fixed weekly drawing slots. Louisiana's homegrown Easy 5 game and the traditional Lotto game both conduct their respective drawings twice per week, with winning numbers generated on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 9:59 p.m. Central Time.
