This Fourth of July weekend, Arkansas lottery players could have an extra reason to celebrate with the upcoming Mega Millions® and LOTTO drawings.

Friday night’s Mega Millions jackpot is $542 million.

To win the jackpot, a player must match the five numbers drawn, plus the Mega Ball® number. Players also have a chance to win non-jackpot prizes with the built-in multiplier, which increases all non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times. The multiplier is randomly assigned by the terminal when the ticket is purchased.

Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 10 p.m. Tickets cost $5 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 9:45 p.m. on draw nights.

The LOTTO jackpot is $1.858 million for Saturday night.

LOTTO is an Arkansas-exclusive draw game, played and won only in the state. Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $2 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 8:59 p.m.

Mega Millions and LOTTO tickets are available for purchase at licensed Arkansas Scholarship Lottery retailers and through retailer apps from ASL’s Play on the Go partners. For more information about the Play on the Go options, visit the Where To Play page on the ASL website.
