Jackpots for LOTTO and Natural State Jackpot (NSJ), two Arkansas-exclusive draw games, rise for this weekend’s drawings.

The LOTTO jackpot for Saturday night is $5.044 million.

Launched in 2022, LOTTO is designed to give in-state lottery players more chances to win bigger prizes. 835 LOTTO winners have claimed prizes of more than $500 since the game’s inception, cumulating in a $4,739,187 payout from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center.

LOTTO drawings are held at 9 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Six numbers between 1 and 40 are drawn, plus a Bonus Number. To win the jackpot, a LOTTO player must match the first six numbers drawn in any order.

Once won, the jackpot resets to $250,000 then increases with each subsequent drawing. If more than one jackpot-winning ticket is sold, the jackpot is split evenly among the winners.

LOTTO tickets cost $2 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 8:59 pm. on the night of the drawing.

Drawing tonight, the NSJ jackpot rises to $320,000.

NSJ transitioned to daily draws in April 2024 to encourage higher, faster-growing jackpots. Once won, the jackpot resets to $50,000.

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

LOTTO and NSJ tickets are available at licensed Arkansas lottery retailers and through retailer apps from ASL’s Play on the Go partners. Visit the Where To Play page on the ASL website to learn more about the Play on the Go options.

All draw game winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize. Players must be at least 18 years old to purchase a lottery ticket.
