Two Arkansas lottery games are offering significant jackpots tonight, with the LOTTO jackpot reaching $753,000 and the Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) climbing to $660,000. The NSJ prize is now the second-highest in its history, following a $680,000 win in November 2024.

LOTTO drawings occur every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m., where six numbers and a Bonus Number are drawn. Players must match the first six numbers in any order to win the jackpot. Prizes up to $25,000 can also be won by matching at least three numbers. Tickets for LOTTO cost $2 per play, with sales closing at 8:59 p.m. on draw nights.

The NSJ drawing takes place daily at 8 p.m., with ticket sales ending at 7:59 p.m. Each play costs $1. To win the NSJ jackpot, players must match all five winning numbers drawn from a pool of 39. If someone wins the jackpot, it resets to $50,000.

Both LOTTO and NSJ tickets are available through the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery’s (ASL) limited-time 5-Buck Bundle promotion until February 28. This offer provides a $3 Powerball ticket with Power Play, a $2 LOTTO ticket, and a free NSJ ticket for $5; all tickets must be Quick Picks.

Players must be at least 18 years old to purchase lottery products.

The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery has generated over $8 billion in sales since its launch in 2009 and returned more than $1.5 billion for scholarships benefitting Arkansas students.
