Game Details

Where do YOU find luck in Louisiana?

Start by checking out the Louisiana Lottery's  hottest $5 game featuring everyone's lucky number -- 7! Reveal the 7 symbol to win a prize, up to $77,777. Nine different ticket scenes showcase classic 7s with a hint of Louisiana, such as southern magnolias, boiled crawfish, Mardi Gras beads, wrought-iron scrollwork, a strawberry and even the Lottery’s confetti-and-trumpet logo. These southern-inspired 7s got us thinking “Where else can we find luck in Louisiana?" and who better to show us than YOU!

Enter our Southern 7s Photo Contest from June 12 -18 for a chance to win one of 10 prize packages including up to $50 worth of 7 scratch-offs! Here's how:

  1. Take a picture – somewhere in Louisiana – of an object, landscape or person/s in the shape of a 7. Your 7 can be created or organic, it is entirely up to you. Set up something extravagant, find some inspiration in nature or use what you’ve already got For example: find a 7-shaped tree, make a 7-shaped sandwich…or pancake, or even recruit some friends that dearly love you to stretch into a 7! (Hint: Bribe them with a 7s scratch-off and maybe physical therapy afterwards)
  2. Post it to your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram profile. You MUST use the hashtag #7scratchoff  and be sure your post is set to public.  
  3. Repeat steps 1-2 with another Southern 7! More entries mean more chances to win!

See the Rules tab above for complete contest rules and prize package contents.

We'll be sharing five of our favorites and giving them credit on OUR social media profiles!
