Louisiana Lottery Overview |
The Louisiana Lottery takes place twice a week, in the state of
Louisiana, USA. It is the official lottery of the state, founded in
1991. By 1993 total sales had already amounted to over $1 billion, and
in 2006 alone it recorded sales of over $300 million for the fifth year
in succession - which should give you a fair indication of the success
of this lottery, and the number of people who play it - which means that
the total prize fund is usually a decent-sized one. Each jackpot starts
at a minimum of $250,000 and this accumulates every draw until it is
won.
To enter this lottery you pick 6 numbers from 40, and you can play up
to 5 boards at a time. The draw takes place twice a week, in which 6
numbers are drawn from the pool of 40 numbers. To win any prize you need
to have selected at least 3 numbers that match the numbers drawn. There
are 4 prize divisions, with the jackpot paying out anyone who correctly
matches all 6 numbers. You can play up to 20 consecutive draws in
advance.
Louisiana Lottery is another unusual US lottery, in that it
will pay you out the full amount of the jackpot immediately in the form
of a lump cash sum. |
