LOTTO and Natural State Jackpot Rise for Weekend Draws; Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Continues 5-Buck Bundle Promotion

Little Rock, Ark.

As jackpots continue to rise for LOTTO and Natural State Jackpot (NSJ), the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) offers its 5-Buck Bundle promotion, which includes tickets for both in-state games.

LOTTO rises to $661,000 for Saturday night’s drawing. Exclusive to Arkansas, the game was designed to give in-state players a chance to win bigger prizes.

LOTTO drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Six numbers between 1 and 40 and a Bonus Number are drawn. A player must match the first six numbers drawn in any order to win the jackpot. Players who match three or more numbers, with or without the Bonus Number, can win prizes up to $25,000.

Once the LOTTO jackpot is won, it will reset to $250,000.

LOTTO tickets cost $2 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 8:59 p.m. on draw nights. 

The Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) is $470,000 for tonight’s drawing. To win the jackpot, a player must match all five numbers drawn.

NSJ drawings are held daily at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $1 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 7:59 p.m.

Players who want to play more than one draw game can take advantage of ASL’s limited-time 5-Buck Bundle promotion. For just $5 at any in-person lottery retailer, players get a $3 Powerball ticket, a $2 LOTTO ticket, and a free NSJ ticket. The promotion ends Feb. 28, and all tickets must be Quick Picks.

ASL reminds players to play responsibly. For game odds and winning numbers visit MyArkansasLottery.com.
