Ahead of this weekend, in-state draw game jackpots soar to record-breaking heights.

The LOTTO jackpot skyrockets to $4.034 million for Saturday night, extending its record as the game’s highest jackpot.

LOTTO is a draw game played and won only in Arkansas. It was designed to give Arkansas players a chance to win bigger prizes. The two previous jackpots, $2.338 million and $999,000, were claimed by Sebastian County and Pulaski County residents.

Drawings occur twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 p.m. Six numbers between 1 and 40 and a Bonus Number are drawn. A LOTTO player must match the first six numbers drawn in any order to win the jackpot. Alternate prizes up to $25,000 are available for players who match three or more winning numbers, with or without the Bonus Number.

LOTTO tickets are $2 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 8:59 p.m. the night of the drawing.

The Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) also soars to $640,000 for tonight’s drawing. 

The NSJ transitioned to daily drawings in April 2024 to produce higher, faster-growing jackpots. The game’s previous biggest jackpots were a $600,000 prize claimed in July 2024 and a $520,000 prize claimed in June 2022.

NSJ drawings occur daily at 8 p.m. Five numbers between 1 and 39 are drawn. To win the jackpot, an NSJ player must match all five of these winning numbers. Once the jackpot is hit, it resets to $50,000, then increases by $5,000 with each draw until it reaches $100,000. After that, the jackpot increases by $10,000 until won.

Tickets cost $1 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 7:59 p.m.

LOTTO and NSJ tickets are available for purchase at licensed Arkansas Scholarship Lottery retailers and online. Visit the lottery’s Where To Play page to learn more about buying lottery tickets online.
