Louisiana Lottery Confirms Another Jackpot Winner Wednesday

(KMDL-FM)  Lotologists, those who study, track, and predict lottery outcomes, will tell you that there are no emotions in numbers. But the way things have started in 2026 for the Louisiana Lottery, it sure feels like there is an emotional wave of positive momentum for the state's lottery players because the Louisiana Lottery has just confirmed a second jackpot win for 2026.

Wednesday night is a big lottery night in Louisiana. There are drawings in Powerball, the multi-state lottery game, Lotto, a Louisiana original, and my favorite game, Easy 5. I like Easy 5 because the game seems to get a jackpot winner about every four times they play. That's not reality, but that's how it seems.

And, Louisiana players have already had major success playing Powerball in the new year.
