I looked up the rules in the Louisiana rules of racing under the Wagering
on Page 92 http://horseracing.louisiana.gov/doc...RacingBook.pdf

§12341. Pari-Mutuel Tickets
B. All off-track wagering, guest and host facilities shall,
upon request, cash all pari-mutuel tickets purchased at its
facility during all hours of operation within the guidelines
provided for under R.S. 4:176 and R.S. 4:219

in reference to R.S. 4:176 and R.S. 4:219:

A. All pari-mutuel tickets purchased at offtrack wagering facilities licensed pursuant to this Part evidencing the right to participate in pari-mutuel pools or the right to a refund must be presented for payment within ninety days after the close of the race meeting of the host track. The failure to present such a ticket within the prescribed time shall constitute a waiver of the right to participate in the pari-mutuel pool or the right to a refund. Thereafter, the holder of such ticket shall have no right to enforce payment thereof.


Lesson learned on my part. It was a ticket worth $192 on a Trifecta. I am told that there are signs posted at the track that warn patrons to cash thier tickets within 90 days. I do not recall seeing such signs but maybe other members in this forum can confirm this for me.
