Wednesday’s LOTTO Jackpot Surges to $2.486 Million; Mega Millions Ticket Worth $20,000 Sold in Hot Springs
For Wednesday night, the LOTTO jackpot is $2.486 million, and a lucky Arkansas lottery player could win it all.
LOTTO 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. on draw nights.
To win the jackpot, a player must match the first six numbers drawn. Once won, the LOTTO jackpot will reset to $250,000 and increase with each subsequent drawing. If more than one player matches all six winning numbers, the prize will be split evenly among the winners.
One Arkansas lottery player already won big in last Friday’s Mega Millions® drawing.
A winning ticket worth $20,000 was sold at Ram Pike, 3039 Albert Pike Road in Hot Springs. The winning numbers were 6, 26, 34, 59 and 61, and the Mega Ball® number was 24.
This ticket is currently unclaimed. The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.
