I was in New Orleans last year and hit 2 W2G payouts and Louisiana State tax
was taken. I just downloaded the non-resident income tax forms from their
website

(http://www.rev.state.la.us/sections/taxforms/default.asp)
The calculations are a bit confusing and you have to put in your Federal Tax
totals (which means you must do your Federal tax first), but it looks like I
had $312 in taxes taken when I won jackpots and only need to pay $93 so will
get a refund.
It is annoying, but if you do have non-resident status and get taxes taken
out, it may be worthwhile to file forms and get a refund.
