8-letter word, begins with L and includes A, N, O, S, and T?

Playing Scrabble, I had two blanks, the letters A, N, O, S, and T, and an L on the board that could be followed by seven other letters and pick up the triple-word bonus. I settled for something else.

But IS there an eight-letter word that begins with an L and includes A, N, O, S, and T in any order? The other two letters can be anything you choose.

Scrabble rules: so no hyphens, like LEAN-TOS, and no proper nouns or modifiers such as LAOTIAN. Foreign words must have made it into common English usage, so a word like TORTILLA is legal, but PAREJA is not.

Have better luck than I did!

Update:

I never heard of, but was glad to find out about, wineverygame. Thank you.

    longshot almost makes the grade, I just noticed the spell checker says it's not a word. longstay also fails the spell checker. Something that starts with last would be good ah well, I feel for you.
