Louisiana Lottery study names February, May and September luckiest for Powerball

A new BonusJet.com study has put a date on Louisiana Lottery luck: February, May and September each had two Powerball jackpot wins in Louisiana, while July was singled out as the unluckiest month to buy a ticket.

The finding gives players a fresh way to look at the game today, even if it does not change the odds of any single drawing. Louisiana has had 10 Powerball jackpot winners since 1995, and the study is drawing attention because it turns that long run of results into a month-by-month pattern that people can follow.

That is why the keyword is being searched now. Powerball remains the game at the center of the discussion, and the study arrives with a simple message for Louisiana players: some months have seen more jackpot success than others. February, May and September each matched the top spot in the ranking, while July sat at the bottom.

The timing arguments around those months are informal, not scientific. Some players link February to Mardi Gras, May to graduation and Mother's Day, and September to the start of school and football season, but there is no concrete evidence that those habits caused the jackpot pattern. The study lays out the results, yet the reasons offered for them remain only a guess.

What makes the comparison sharper is the broader record behind it. Louisiana started playing Powerball in 1995 and has produced 10 jackpot winners since then, but it has never had a Mega Millions jackpot winner. That leaves Powerball as the state’s only jackpot game in this discussion with a winning history to measure, and it is the history BonusJet.com used to sort the months.

For Louisiana players, the practical takeaway is limited but clear: the numbers point to February, May and September as the months that have lined up best with past Powerball wins, and July as the month that has lined up worst. The study does not create a new drawing or a new deadline. It leaves one question open instead — whether those patterns are just a quirk of the state’s jackpot history, or the start of a trend that keeps repeating.
