The LOTTO jackpot rises to $2.89 million ahead of Saturday night’s drawing.

The record-high LOTTO jackpot has climbed steadily since it was last hit in September 2023, surpassing the previous highest jackpot of $2.338 million.

LOTTO is an Arkansas-exclusive draw game designed to give Arkansas players a chance to win big prizes. Drawings occur on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 p.m. Six numbers and a bonus number are drawn. A LOTTO player must match the first six numbers drawn to win the jackpot. Alternate prizes are available for players who match three or more winning numbers, with or without the bonus number.

Tonight, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery is hosting a pop-up retailer event at Murphy USA, 17305 I-30 Frontage Road in Benton, to celebrate the record LOTTO jackpot. From 4-7 p.m., customers can spin the lottery prize wheel with the purchase of a LOTTO ticket.

The event will also feature an appearance from Mike Kennedy of The Point 94.1.
