BONUS NUMBER
Q: What is the Bonus Number?
A: The Bonus Number is the seventh number drawn from the same pool of 40 numbers. Players will match the Bonus Number against one of the six numbers on their ticket.
Q: Why don’t I need to choose a Bonus Number when buying my ticket?
A: When players purchase a LOTTO ticket, they will have six numbers on their ticket. This is the same for all entries, whether for one drawing or playing weeks in advance. The Bonus Number is the seventh number generated at the time of the drawing from the pool of 40 numbers. Players do not pick the Bonus Number, so it is not printed on a ticket.
Q: So, what is the Bonus Number for?
A: The Bonus Number gives players, who have matched five, four, three, or two of the six numbers they selected, a chance to win even better prizes. For example, the prize for matching five numbers without the Bonus Number is $1,500, while the prize for matching five of the first six numbers drawn plus the Bonus Number is $25,000. It also creates a new prize tier for players who have matched two of the first six numbers drawn plus the Bonus Number (a $3 prize).
Q: How will I know what the Bonus Number is for each drawing?
A: The Bonus Number will be clearly shown after the first six numbers drawn on the winning numbers page of the lottery website at MyArkansasLottery.com.

PURCHASING TICKETS
Q: How much do LOTTO tickets cost?
A: LOTTO tickets cost $2 per play.
Q: Can I purchase LOTTO tickets in advance?
A: To play multiple upcoming drawings, request from 2 to 20 Multi Drawings either on the playslip or through the retailer. Multi Drawings will include the next upcoming drawing and be consecutive from that drawing. Drawings cannot be skipped.

THE DRAWING
Q: How does the LOTTO drawing work?
A: A player selects six numbers from 1 to 40. On Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 p.m., seven numbers are drawn from the same pool of 40 numbers. Six main numbers and one *Bonus Number. The seventh number drawn will always be the Bonus Number. The player will then match their own six numbers against the seven numbers drawn to win.
*The Bonus Number is an additional number drawn with the six main numbers. As all the numbers are drawn from the same pool of numbers, the Bonus Number can’t be the same as one of the six numbers in the same draw. Players don’t pick the Bonus Number. It is randomly drawn to increase a player’s odds of winning.
Q: Where can I find the results of the LOTTO drawings?
A: The LOTTO results will be available after every drawing at:
- MyArkansasLottery.com/games/LOTTO
- Any licensed ASL Retailer
- Selected news partners across the state
PRIZES
Q: How do I win?
A: A player who matches the first six numbers (main numbers) drawn wins the jackpot. The Bonus Number is relevant if a player matches five, four, three, or two main numbers. Players who match the Bonus Number win even better prizes.
Q: Where can I check my ticket to see if I have won?
A: LOTTO tickets can be checked at any licensed ASL Retailer, online at MyArkansasLottery.com/games/LOTTO, or by using the app to access winning numbers. Download “ASL Club” in the Google Play or Apple App Store.

Q: What happens if more than one person wins the jackpot?
A: If there is more than one jackpot-winning ticket, the prize will be split equally between the jackpot winners.
