The Louisiana Lottery has officially announced the winning numbers for its evening drawings conducted on Sept. 13, 2026. Players throughout the state who participated in the day's daily draw games have been urged to examine their tickets carefully to determine if they hold a winning combination. The state-run lottery provides a selection of daily and weekly draw options designed to give participants multiple paths toward winning payouts.
For the Sept. 13 drawing, the winning selection for the Pick 3 game was determined to be 6-9-0. This three-digit game is drawn on a regular evening schedule, providing participants with recurring chances to secure payouts. Ticket holders interested in reviewing the specific payout tiers, historical drawing results, and prize structures can access detailed game records directly through the official Louisiana Lottery website.
In the Pick 4 drawing on the same evening, the winning combination selected was 0-2-5-9. As with the state’s other daily digit games, players who purchased entries for Pick 4 can cross-reference their numbers with the official records posted online to confirm whether their tickets qualify for a prize and to examine full payout distributions.
The Pick 5 drawing for Sept. 13 yielded the winning numerical sequence 1-8-8-5-6. This five-digit game presents higher mathematical odds and distinct payout structures. Players who took part in the Pick 5 drawing are encouraged to review previous game histories and prize tier breakdowns through the Louisiana Lottery’s official digital platform to determine potential returns on their winning tickets.
Following the confirmation of the winning sequences, lottery administrators have highlighted the standard procedures that participants must follow when redeeming their prizes. The claim process operates under a tiered system structured by the monetary value of the ticket, ensuring that payouts are handled securely and in accordance with state regulations.
For smaller winnings, redemption can be completed quickly at local establishments. All authorized Louisiana Lottery retail locations throughout the state are permitted to redeem winning tickets for amounts up to and including $600. Players with prizes in this lower tier can present their physical tickets directly to participating store clerks to receive immediate payment.
For prizes that exceed the $600 threshold, the redemption procedure requires additional formal documentation. Winners of these larger amounts have the option to submit their claims either by mail or in person at designated Louisiana Lottery offices. However, when a prize exceeds $5,000, players are mandated to claim their winnings directly in person at a Louisiana Lottery office.
Players who choose to submit their claims through the mail must adhere to a strict multi-step submission protocol to ensure proper processing. The initial step requires the ticket holder to sign their full name and complete all required personal information on the reverse side of the original winning ticket. Claimants must make sure that all barcodes remain completely visible and unobstructed, and they must remove all scratch-off coating if submitting a scratch-off game ticket.
The second step of the mail-in procedure requires players to make a clear photocopy of both the front and the back of the winning ticket. The lottery notes a critical procedural exception regarding this rule: photocopies are strictly not accepted for multi-state jackpot games, specifically Powerball and Mega Millions entries.
The third and fourth steps of the mail-in claiming process require the completion of essential administrative documentation. The player must thoroughly fill out the official Louisiana Lottery Prize Claim Form, ensuring that a primary telephone number and accurate mailing address are provided so that the prize check can be processed and delivered. Additionally, the claimant must include a clear photocopy of a valid driver's license or an active, unexpired government-issued photo identification card.
Once all four components are compiled, the claimant must place the signed original ticket, the ticket photocopy, the completed claim form, and the copy of their photo identification into a single envelope. The claim package must then be mailed directly to the Louisiana Lottery Headquarters, located at 555 Laurel Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70801.
Players who prefer to process their claims in person, or those who must do so because their prize exceeds $5,000, can visit the primary headquarters facility in Baton Rouge at 555 Laurel Street. The headquarters can be reached by telephone at (225) 297-2000 and is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Unlike smaller local retail vendors, this central administrative office maintains the authorization and capacity to cash winning tickets of any prize value.
To help players stay informed regarding upcoming opportunities to play, the Louisiana Lottery maintains a structured weekly schedule across all of its available draw offerings. The three core daily numbers games—Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5—conduct their official drawings every evening at 9:59 p.m. Central Time.
The widely played multi-state jackpot games follow separate evening drawing schedules. Drawings for Powerball take place three nights a week at 9:59 p.m. Central Time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Mega Millions drawings are scheduled twice weekly, taking place at 10 p.m. Central Time on Tuesday and Friday nights.
In addition to the daily and multi-state drawings, the Louisiana Lottery manages state-level weekly jackpot offerings. Both the Easy 5 game and the Louisiana Lotto hold their official drawings twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 9:59 p.m. Central Time.
Players are encouraged to retain their tickets, verify the numbers against official records, and contact the Louisiana Lottery or visit its official online portal to check winning numbers, explore previous draws, and review full game payout guidelines.
