Arkansas residents have the opportunity to win substantial prizes with the upcoming lottery draws. The LOTTO jackpot for Saturday night has reached $578,000. This game is exclusive to Arkansas and has previously seen winners such as a Yell County resident who claimed a $5.123 million jackpot earlier this year and another from Sebastian County who won $2.338 million.
LOTTO drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 p.m., where six numbers between 1 and 40, plus a Bonus Number, are drawn. To win the jackpot, players must match the first six numbers in any order. Other prizes up to $25,000 can be won by matching three or more numbers, with or without the Bonus Number. Each play costs $2, and ticket sales close at 8:59 p.m. on draw nights.
Another Arkansas-exclusive game, the Natural State Jackpot (NSJ), offers a prize of $360,000 for tonight’s drawing. NSJ drawings occur daily at 8 p.m., requiring players to match five numbers between 1 and 39 to win the jackpot. After being hit, the NSJ jackpot resets to $50,000 and increases incrementally until it reaches higher thresholds.
Tickets for both games are available through licensed retailers in Arkansas or via retailer apps provided by ASL’s Play on the Go partners.
The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) has been operational since 2009 and has contributed significantly to education funding in the state. It has generated over $7.9 billion in sales and returned more than $1.5 billion for scholarships benefiting Arkansas students.
