The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery announced on Apr. 3 that the LOTTO jackpot for Saturday night has increased to $1.126 million.
The rising jackpot highlights continued interest in the Arkansas-exclusive draw game, which offers players within the state a chance at large prizes and supports scholarships for students.
LOTTO drawings take place every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m., with tickets available for $2 per play until 8:59 p.m. To win the top prize, players must match all six winning numbers drawn. There are also opportunities to win up to $25,000 by matching three or more numbers, with or without the Bonus Number. Winners have up to 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes.
Since its launch in 2022, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center has awarded over $16.6 million in LOTTO prizes, including sixty winners this year who claimed amounts greater than $500 and three who each won $25,000 prizes. The lottery reminds participants that only those aged eighteen or older can purchase tickets.
According to information provided by the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery, since its inception in 2009 it has sold more than $8 billion in tickets and returned over $1.6 billion for scholarships benefitting students across Arkansas.
