Wednesday Night LOTTO Jackpot Rises to $3.127 Million; Natural State Jackpot Surges to $400,000 for Tonight

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

In-state draw game jackpots rise for tonight and Wednesday night’s drawings.

The jackpot for LOTTO, a draw game played and won only in Arkansas, rises to $3.127 million for Wednesday.

LOTTO drawings occur on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 p.m. Six numbers between 1 and 40, plus a bonus number are drawn. To win the jackpot, a LOTTO player must match the first six numbers drawn in any order. 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 cost $2 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 8:59 p.m. the night of the drawing. 

For tonight, the Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) is $400,000.

Also an Arkansas-exclusive draw game, NSJ transitioned to daily draws in April to encourage larger, faster-growing jackpots. Its current highest jackpot of $600,000 was recently claimed in July 2024.

The NSJ jackpot 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 until won.

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 at licensed Arkansas lottery retailers and online. Visit the Where to Play page on the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery website for a list of online options.

LOTTO and NSJ winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.
