Lottery enthusiasts across the state of Louisiana have three fresh sets of winning digits to evaluate following the latest evening drawings. The Louisiana Lottery Corporation completed its regularly scheduled daily drawings for Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026, offering cash opportunities for ticket holders who participated in the organization's popular daily selection games.
For the Sept. 13 Pick 3 contest, officials confirmed the winning combination as 6-9-0. This three-digit game continues to serve as a routine staple for daily participants looking for straightforward gameplay options and multiple payout tiers depending on their chosen play type and wager amount.
In the Pick 4 drawing on the same date, the sequence selected was 0-2-5-9. The four-digit offering provides players with expanded combination options, attracting participants seeking higher top-tier prize amounts relative to the three-digit format while maintaining daily accessibility.
Completing the daily evening draw lineup, the winning sequence for Pick 5 on Sept. 13 was determined to be 1-8-8-5-6. Featuring repeated digits, this five-digit game delivers the largest standard base prizes among the daily draw portfolio, rewarding players who match all five winning numbers in exact order.
Each of these three daily games—Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5—conducts its official drawing every evening at 9:59 p.m. Central Time. Ticket holders are encouraged to verify their numbers promptly following each evening session to establish whether their wagers produced a payout.
For those holding winning tickets from the Sept. 13 event, the redemption process is determined largely by the total value of the payout. The Louisiana Lottery enforces distinct tiered validation requirements designed to streamline payouts while safeguarding player claims across its retail and administrative network.
Winners who earn prizes of $600 or less enjoy the most direct redemption route. These smaller payouts can be claimed immediately at any authorized Louisiana Lottery retail location across the state, provided the retailer possesses sufficient funds on hand to cash the winning slip.
When a prize exceeds the $600 threshold, players must transition to formal claim procedures. Winning tickets valued above $600 can no longer be processed by standard retail clerks; instead, winners must submit their claims by mail or present them directly at designated Louisiana Lottery office facilities.
For major windfalls where the prize total surpasses $5,000, players are required to claim their winnings directly in person at a Louisiana Lottery office. These high-tier claims undergo rigorous identity verification and tax documentation before prize distributions can be completed.
Claimants utilizing the postal option must adhere strictly to a four-step administrative guideline to avoid processing delays. The first step mandates that the claimant sign and fill out the informational fields on the reverse side of the original ticket, ensuring that all validation barcodes remain unobstructed and visible, which includes removing all scratch-off material from scratch-off tickets.
Second, the lottery requires participants to make clear photocopies of both the front and back of the winning slip. The organization notes an important procedural exception: photocopies are never accepted for winning tickets belonging to the multi-state Powerball or Mega Millions draw games.
Third, claimants must complete an official Louisiana Lottery Prize Claim Form in its entirety. This documentation requires valid contact information, including an updated telephone number and mailing address, to ensure the resulting prize check is processed and mailed without logistical disruption.
Finally, mail-in submissions must include a readable photocopy of the player's valid driver's license or an equivalent government-issued photo identification. All completed paperwork and the original signed ticket must be compiled and sent together in a single envelope to Louisiana Lottery Headquarters, located at 555 Laurel Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70801.
Players who prefer personal service or who hold tickets exceeding $5,000 may visit the Baton Rouge headquarters directly at 555 Laurel Street. The central office operates between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and maintains full administrative capability to validate and cash winning tickets of any value. Individuals seeking assistance ahead of their visit can reach the office by phone at (225) 297-2000.
Beyond the daily Pick games, Louisiana players track several weekly drawings. Multi-state Powerball drawings are held at 9:59 p.m. CT on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, while Mega Millions drawings occur at 10:00 p.m. CT on Tuesday and Friday. Additionally, state-specific drawings for Easy 5 and the flagship Lotto game take place twice weekly on Wednesday and Saturday nights at 9:59 p.m. CT.
