Modernizing Louisiana's Lottery with a Purpose.
Delivering better gaming for more impactful investment in Louisiana's future.
Since 1991, the Louisiana Lottery has been a vital asset to our state — created with a clear mission to maximize revenue for the people of Louisiana. For more than three decades, Lottery proceeds have strengthened K-12 education, supported local events, and fueled economic growth across the state.
Now it’s time to take the next step and evolve in that mission.
Authorizing secure online lottery sales is a simple, modern update that would generate millions in new revenue for education — without raising taxes. Louisiana law ensures these funds go directly to the statewide K-12 education formula (MFP), with dedicated resources to address problem gaming.
As more commerce shifts online, the Lottery must evolve to meet today’s players where they are. Nineteen other states already offer iLottery, and industries like sports wagering have successfully transitioned online. Allowing digital sales positions Louisiana’s Lottery for the future by:
Making the Lottery a more relevant product in a competitive entertainment market
Meeting today’s Lottery customer’s expectations for convenience and digital access
Ensuring the long-term viability of one of Louisiana’s most successful public assets
Bringing this innovation home could deliver $23 million in new revenue in the first year alone, while giving Louisiana players a safe, verified, and convenient way to participate. Modernizing the Lottery isn’t just about technology — it’s about protecting and growing a trusted institution that invests in our schools, our communities, and our future.
