What are the best Louisiana scratch-offs to buy right now?

Which Louisiana scratch-off is most likely to win?

The Louisiana game with the best odds of winning any prize is Fire/Ice ($20) at 1 in 3.20. It still has 4 top prizes of $500,000 left. Most of those wins are small, often just your ticket price back, so good odds are not the same as a good buy.

Our top-graded pick at each price today: $1: Lucky Bucks; $2: Parish Payout; $3: Chicken Scratch Bingo Tripler; $5: Fleur De 3'S; $10: It'S A Louisiana Thing!; $20: 100x The Cash. The price filter on this page ranks every game at each price.

Which Louisiana scratch-offs should I avoid?

1 Louisiana game is still on sale even though every top prize has been claimed: Louisiana Seasons. You pay full price with no chance at the top prize. The Top Prizes Claimed (Avoid) filter on this page lists it.

How do I claim a winning Louisiana scratch-off?

Prizes up to $600 can be cashed at any lottery retailer in Louisiana, and prizes of any amount at a Lottery office (regional offices in New Orleans, Lafayette, Alexandria, Shreveport, Monroe; HQ in Baton Rouge). You can also claim by mail for prizes up to $5,000; our guide to where to cash scratch-off tickets covers the forms and ID you need. Federal tax of 24% is withheld on prizes over $5,000, and Louisiana taxes lottery winnings as income at up to 3% (more on taxes on scratch-off winnings).

How long do I have to claim a Louisiana scratch-off?

You have 90 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game, not from the day you bought the ticket. Check a game's end date before you buy, especially if it is ending soon. Our guide to whether scratch-off tickets expire lists every state's deadline.

Can I buy Louisiana scratch-offs online or with a card?

Scratch-offs are not sold online in Louisiana, so you have to buy them in a store. In stores, debit and credit cards are accepted if the store chooses. You must be 21 or older to buy. More in our guides to buying scratch-offs online and with a debit card.

Do more expensive Louisiana scratch-offs have better odds?

Usually, yes. The typical (median) game at each price, with its odds of winning any prize and what it pays back per dollar: $1, 1 in 4.81 and about 66 cents; $2, 1 in 4.61 and about 69 cents; $3, 1 in 3.92 and about 69 cents; $5, 1 in 4.18 and about 72 cents; $10, 1 in 3.38 and about 72 cents; $20, 1 in 3.26 and about 75 cents. Payback tends to rise with price, but you still lose money on average at every price.

Are Louisiana scratch-offs worth it, or do any pay back more than they cost?

Right now 1 of the 40 Louisiana games on sale is expected to pay back more than it costs: 100x The Cash ($20). The typical game returns about 69 cents per dollar. A scratch-off that pays back more than it costs is rare and does not last long, so play for fun with money you can afford to lose. More on whether scratch-off tickets are worth it.

Should I buy Louisiana games that are ending soon?

Sometimes, when good prizes are still left. No Louisiana games are ending within the next 90 days, so there is no Ending Soon filter on this page right now. Bear in mind that scratch-off tickets do expire: in Louisiana you have 90 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game.
