In-State Jackpots Soar to New Heights Ahead of Holiday Week

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

As the holiday week draws near, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery is bringing an extra dose of festive spirit to players across the state. In-state jackpots are reaching impressive new heights, creating even more excitement this season and giving players a chance to win big.

Tomorrow night’s LOTTO jackpot is at a record-high of $4.634 million. A resident of Sebastian County claimed the previous highest jackpot of $2.338 million.

LOTTO drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $2 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 8:59 p.m. the night of the drawing.

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.

Drawing tonight, the Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) is $440,000.

This Arkansas-exclusive draw game transitioned to daily draws in April to encourage higher, faster-growing jackpots. In the months since the game change, NSJ has seen two record-breaking jackpots. In November, a Camden resident claimed its highest-ever jackpot, $680,000.

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 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.
