In-State Jackpots Rise for Weekend Drawings

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

The jackpots for two Arkansas-exclusive draw games, LOTTO and Natural State Jackpot, rise ahead of this weekend’s drawings.

The LOTTO jackpot is $3.953 million for tomorrow night.

LOTTO is an Arkansas-exclusive draw game. Launched in September 2022, it was designed to offer Arkansas players more chances to win bigger prizes. Previous jackpot winners include Pulaski County and Sebastian County residents.

LOTTO drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Six numbers between 1 and 40 are drawn, plus a bonus number. A player must match the first six numbers drawn in any combination to win the jackpot. Alternative prizes are available for winners who match three or more winning numbers, with or without the Bonus Number.

Once the jackpot is won, it resets to $250,000 and increases with ticket sales from each draw.

LOTTO tickets cost $2 per play. Sales cut off at 8:59 p.m. the night of the draw.

Another in-state draw game, Natural State Jackpot (NSJ), rises to $570,000 for tonight’s drawing. It remains the game’s second highest jackpot.

NSJ transitioned to daily drawings in April 2024 to encourage higher, faster-growing jackpots. Its current highest jackpot of $600,000 was claimed in July 2024.

The NSJ jackpot amount starts at $50,000, increasing by $5,000 for every draw until it reaches $100,000. After that, it increases by $10,000 with each draw.

NSJ drawings occur daily at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $1 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 7:59 p.m.

LOTTO and NSJ tickets are available for purchase via licensed Arkansas lottery retailers, the Jackpocket app, Jackpot.com, and Lotto.com.
