Located at select retailers all across the state, Louisiana Lottery WinStations allow you to purchase AND check draw-style and scratch-off tickets yourself! They work like vending machines—just insert your payment method, select the tickets you want, and wait for the WinStation to dispense them.
Follow our step-by-step guide to using Louisiana Lottery WinStations:
Verify that you’re at least 21 years old by scanning a valid photo ID
Once the bill acceptor light turns solid green, insert bills ($20 or smaller) into the bill acceptor for up to $100 in purchase credit. Note: WinStations do not give change and all sales are final.
Select the game that you want to play. You can purchase Quick Pick tickets for draw-style games, straight plays for Daily Pick games, or any scratch-off games in stock.
OR
If you want to choose your own numbers or add extras like Multidraw and ezmatch, fill out a paper playslip and insert it into the Playslip Reader Slot. If your playslip is not filled out correctly or if there are not enough credits to purchase what is selected, the WinStation will prompt you to insert more money or select another product.
Grab your ticket from the bottom tray or draw-style ticket dispenser. You can continue to make product selections until all purchase credits are used. Good luck!
WinStations are located at select retailers across the state! Here is a full list of all locations:
WinStations dispense any type of draw-style game ticket and select scratch-off game tickets. Scratch-off game availability may vary depending upon the retailer.
WinStations will dispense scratch-offs as long as there is power. WinStations will NOT generate tickets for draw-style games if satellite communication is down or during a game's draw break. For Powerball and Mega Millions, the draw break is 9-10 p.m. on the night of the drawing. For all other draw-style games, the draw break starts at 9:30 p.m. and lasts only a few minutes. Any tickets purchased after a draw break are good for the next regularly scheduled drawing.
To check the value of any ticket, center the bar code on the front of your ticket three to four inches below the "Did You Win?" scanner. The screen will indicate whether your ticket is a winner and its value. You do not have to scan your driver's license in order to check a ticket. Obviously, the drawing has to have occurred for the WinStation to check draw-style game tickets.
The WinStation DOES NOT dispense cash or pay prizes in cash. However, if your ticket has won $25 or less, you can scan it again to have the WinStation validate it and receive CREDIT to make a purchase at the machine. This includes free tickets. When validating a free-ticket prize, you will receive purchase credit equal to the price point of the ticket redeemed. If your ticket is worth between $26 and $600, the WinStation will indicate the prize amount and prompt you to take your ticket to a retailer to claim your winnings. If your ticket is worth more than $600, the WinStation will prompt you to sign the back and claim your prize at a Lottery office.
All sales on the WinStation are final and all transactions are recorded. Should you believe the WinStation generated an unreadable ticket or a ticket different from the button you pressed, you may seek assistance from the retailer to resolve the situation.
The Lottery strongly promotes the legal and responsible use of its products. The law requires that retailers obtain proof of age through proper identification (including government issued IDs and drivers' licenses) in order to purchase a Lottery ticket. This requirement is met by the WinStation's functionality necessitating the scan of a valid driver's license indicating the user is at least 21 years of age. In addition, each WinStation is equipped with a remote deactivation device that retailers can utilize if they suspect a WinStation customer is underage.
