LOTTO Jackpot on the Rise, Climbs to $1.08 Million

Little Rock, Ark.

The LOTTO jackpot continues to climb, reaching $1.08 million for Saturday night’s drawing. It marks the game’s third jackpot to cross the $1 million threshold since its launch in 2022.

Earlier this year, a Yell County resident claimed a record-high jackpot of $5.123 million. Other big winners include a Sebastian County resident who claimed a $2.338 million jackpot and a Pulaski County resident who won $999,000.

LOTTO is an Arkansas-exclusive draw game designed to give in-state lottery players another chance to win big prizes. Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Six numbers between 1 and 40 are drawn, plus a Bonus Number. To win the jackpot, a LOTTO player must match the first six numbers drawn in any order.

Once won, the jackpot resets to $250,000 then increases with each subsequent drawing. If more than one jackpot-winning ticket is sold, the jackpot is split evenly among the winners.

LOTTO tickets cost $2 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 8:59 pm. on the night of the drawing.

Tickets are available for purchase at licensed ASL 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.
