Jackpots for Arkansas-exclusive lottery games are reaching new highs ahead of tonight’s drawings. The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) announced that the LOTTO jackpot has climbed to $720,000, while the Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) stands at $590,000.
LOTTO drawings occur every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m., with players needing to match all six numbers drawn to win the top prize. Other prizes up to $25,000 are available for those matching at least three winning numbers. Tickets cost $2 per play and sales close at 8:59 p.m. on draw nights.
The NSJ drawing takes place daily at 8 p.m., requiring players to match all five numbers for a chance at the jackpot. Each ticket costs $1 per play.
Both games are included in ASL’s ongoing 5-Buck Bundle promotion, which allows participants to purchase a package containing a $3 Powerball ticket with Power Play, a $2 LOTTO ticket, and a free NSJ ticket for $5. All tickets must be Quick Picks and buyers must be at least 18 years old. This promotion runs through February 28.

More than 822,000 college scholarships have been awarded by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education using these funds. The lottery has also distributed over $5.6 billion in prizes and provided more than $471 million in retailer commissions as well as over $190 million in state and federal tax revenue.
