All lottery applications are now only available on the LDWF website at https://la-web.s3licensing.com/ (then click 'Lottery Applications'). Those wanting to apply should update or create their customer record similar to purchasing a license and then submit an application. There is a $5 application fee and a $2 transaction fee.

Applicants must be 18 years old prior to the date of the hunt in order to apply.
Successful applicants will be notified by email and are required to submit an additional $250 payment (plus $2 transaction fee). Each successful applicant will be allowed to bring one additional hunter as a guest. All hunters must have appropriate licenses.
Individuals are only allowed to attend one teal lottery hunt (as a successful applicant or as a guest, not both) on White Lake WCA per season.
