Draw Game Jackpots Jump for Friday Night

Little Rock, Ark.

The jackpots for Mega Millions® and Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) rise ahead of tonight’s drawings.

The Mega Millions jackpot stands at $680 million, maintaining its place as the draw game’s highest jackpot since 2024 and the largest since the new format launched earlier this year.

Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 10 p.m. Tickets cost $5 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 9:45 p.m.

Several Arkansas lottery players have landed Mega Millions prizes following the game change, with five winning tickets worth at least $600 sold for the Oct. 21 drawing. These tickets were purchased in Little Rock, Bentonville, Greenbrier, Jonesboro and Van Buren.

Arkansans can look forward to another big jackpot tonight as NSJ’s jackpot hits $440,000.

NSJ drawings are held daily at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $1 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 7:59 p.m. on the night of the drawing. To win the jackpot, a player must match all five winning numbers drawn. Once the jackpot is won, it will reset to $50,000.

All Mega Millions and NSJ winners have 180 days from the draw date to collect their prize.

Tickets for these draw games are available for purchase at licensed ASL retailers and through retailer apps from ASL’s Play on the Go partners. For more information about the Play on the Go options, visit the Where To Play page on the ASL website.
