Two one-dollar Tenth Class tickets issued by the Louisiana State Lottery Company are photographed together on a single albumen cabinet card, mounted against a dark paper backing on a cream card stock with a fine deckled edge. Each ticket is printed in ornate typographic style and announces the Semi-Annual Ten Dollar Drawing to be held in New Orleans on Tuesday, December 13, 1892, bearing the facsimile signature of Paul Conrad as president. Conrad had joined the Louisiana State Lottery Company in 1870 and became its president in 1890.

The upper ticket carries number 58512 and the lower bears number 68851, both designated Class M, Tenth Class, and entitling the holder to one-tenth of any prize drawn. Each ticket features the bold banner header reading "Louisiana State Lottery Co." flanked by decorative vignettes, a large central numeral ornament, and denomination boxes stating "One Dollar" in the lower left corner. The printed text specifies that prizes must be presented for payment within six months of the drawing date.

The state constitutional amendment that would have re-chartered the Louisiana State Lottery Company was soundly defeated in 1892, making this December 1892 drawing among the company's final New Orleans events. In December 1892 federal courts ruled against the lottery in a postal regulation appeal, sealing the fate of one of the most powerful gaming enterprises in American history. This cabinet card photograph of the paired tickets likely served as a documentary or promotional record produced in that final, turbulent year of operation.

Reverse inscribed in pencil with arithmetic notations reading: "58512 - 2/10 = 2 00/00" and "68851 - 10/00 1/10 = 1 00/00" with a sum of "1 00/00," along with a small pencil notation "No. 1."
