Arkansas-Exclusive Draw Games Offer Big Weekend Winnings

Little Rock, ARK.

Lottery-playing Arkansans could win big with the next LOTTO and Natural State Jackpot drawings.

Saturday night’s LOTTO jackpot rises to a historic $3.873 million.

LOTTO drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $2 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 8:59 p.m. the night of the drawing.

During each LOTTO drawing, six numbers and a Bonus Number are drawn. To win the jackpot, a player must match the first six numbers drawn in any combination. The Bonus Number is not required to win the jackpot. However, alternate prizes up to $25,000 are available for players who match three or more winning numbers, with or without the Bonus Number.

The Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) for tonight is $500,000. It marks the game’s second-highest jackpot of 2024, surpassed by the record-high $600,000 jackpot claimed in July.

NSJ drawings occur daily at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $1 per play.

To win the jackpot, an NSJ player must match all five numbers drawn.

LOTTO and NSJ tickets are available for purchase online and in person at licensed Arkansas lottery retailers. To learn more about buying lottery tickets online, visit the Where To Play page on our website.
