The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery announced that the LOTTO jackpot for tonight’s drawing has increased to $882,000. The game is exclusive to Arkansas and aims to provide local players with more opportunities for significant winnings.
This month, two players from Arkansas each won $25,000 in the LOTTO game. The winning tickets were purchased in Centerton for the February 18 drawing and in Little Rock for the February 21 drawing.
LOTTO drawings take place at 9 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Each play costs $2, with ticket sales closing at 8:59 p.m. on draw nights. Players select six numbers between 1 and 40, plus a Bonus Number. To win the jackpot, a player must match all six main numbers drawn. Prizes are also available for those who match at least three numbers, with or without the Bonus Number.
Winners have up to 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prizes.

For $5, customers can request this bundle at participating retailers and receive a $3 Powerball ticket with Power Play, a $2 LOTTO ticket, and a free Natural State Jackpot ticket—all as Quick Picks.
