Between LOTTO’s $1.737 million jackpot and Wednesday night’s big draw game wins, lottery luck is in the air for Arkansas players.

The LOTTO jackpot continues to rise ahead of Saturday night’s drawing. At $1.737 million, it remains LOTTO’s third-highest jackpot since its launch in 2022. Once won, the jackpot will reset to $250,000 and increase with each subsequent drawing.

LOTTO tickets cost $2 per play, and drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Ticket sales cut off at 8:59 p.m. on draw nights.

Two players in Arkansas already won big in Wednesday night’s Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) and Powerball® drawings. 

A jackpot-winning NSJ ticket, worth $220,000, was ordered via the Jackpocket mobile app. The winning numbers were 2, 19, 21, 36 and 38. This ticket is currently unclaimed, and the winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.

The jackpot for tonight’s NSJ drawing is $55,000.

Another lucky lottery player won $50,000 with a Powerball ticket sold at Speedway Store 9305, 2900 N. Washington Street in Forrest City. The winning numbers were 3, 26, 49, 53 and 61, and the Powerball number was 12. The Power Play® multiplier was 2.

The lucky winner was one of only two players nationwide to land a $50,000 prize in this drawing. They also have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.

The Powerball jackpot is $302 million for Saturday night’s drawing.
