The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery announced on Mar. 25 that tonight’s LOTTO jackpot has reached $1.055 million.
The increased jackpot gives Arkansas players another chance to win a significant prize, as the LOTTO game is exclusive to the state and designed to provide larger winnings for local participants. Since its launch, five players have claimed the top prize, including a Yell County resident who won a record-setting $5.123 million in 2025.
LOTTO drawings take place every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m., with tickets available until 8:59 p.m. on draw nights. To win the jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn in any order. Additional prizes are awarded for matching at least three numbers, with or without the Bonus Number, and those who match five numbers plus the Bonus Number receive $25,000.
After each jackpot is won, it resets to $250,000 and increases with subsequent drawings if not claimed. If more than one player matches all six winning numbers in a single drawing, the prize will be divided equally among them.
Tickets cost $2 per play and can be purchased from licensed retailers or through retailer apps via Play on the Go partners of the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL). Players must be at least 18 years old to participate.
Since its inception in 2009, ASL reports sales exceeding $8 billion and more than $1.6 billion returned for scholarships benefiting students across Arkansas. Over 873,000 college scholarships have been distributed by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education using lottery funds as of Feb. 28, while more than $5.7 billion has been awarded in prizes and over $476 million paid out in retailer commissions.
