KALB New Home For Louisiana Lottery

The Louisiana Lottery Corporation announced that KALB-TV channel 5 has begun broadcasting the 9:59 p.m. drawing of the winning numbers for its Lotto, Powerball, Cash Quest, Pick 3 and Pick 4 games.

Prior to this change, Lottery winning numbers were aired on KLAX-TV channel 31. The switch to KALB will mean an additional 6,900 viewers will be able to watch the nightly winning numbers broadcast.
