Arkansas’s newest lottery game – LOTTO – launched two months ago with a starting jackpot of $250,000 and has yet to be hit. The jackpot for tomorrow night’s drawing is up to $741,000.

Although no one has won the jackpot yet, players have won $279,921 in lower-tier prizes since Sept. 21 when the first drawing was held. LOTTO is only played and won in Arkansas. Drawings are held at 9 p.m. in Little Rock every Wednesday and Saturday. Each play costs $2. As with any lottery product, a player must be at least 18 years old to purchase a ticket. 

“We were extremely excited to offer LOTTO to the people of Arkansas,” said Eric Hagler, Arkansas Scholarship Lottery executive director. “Our research indicated that Arkansas players wanted a game with higher starting jackpots that was exclusive to our state, and the fact that this jackpot is nearing $1 million has added to the excitement.”

Hagler said having a game with a six-figure jackpot is motivating, with many players feeling that a win of that value could be life-changing.

A LOTTO player picks six numbers from 1 to 40. Six main numbers and a bonus number are drawn. If the player matches the first six numbers (main numbers) drawn in any order, he wins the jackpot. Players who match the Bonus Number will increase any non-jackpot prizes. 

Both winning and non-winning tickets are eligible to enter in The Club for Points for Prizes®. For more information, go to MyArkansasLottery.com/LOTTO.
