LOTTO Jackpot Rises to $1.177 Million Ahead of Weekend Drawing

Little Rock, Ark.

One lucky Arkansas lottery player could win a life-changing $1.177 million jackpot in Saturday night’s LOTTO drawing.

LOTTO is an Arkansas-exclusive draw game designed to give in-state players a chance to win big prizes. In Wednesday night’s drawing, 10 players won prizes of $500 or more, including three who won $1,500. In total, 2,407 players won prizes in the April 8 drawing.

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. Six numbers between 1 and 40, plus a Bonus Number are drawn. To win the jackpot, a player must match all six winning numbers. Alternative prizes are available for players who match three or more winning numbers, with or without the Bonus Number.

Once a player wins the jackpot, it will reset to $250,000 and increase with each subsequent drawing.

LOTTO tickets are available for purchase at licensed Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) retailers and through retailer apps from ASL’s Play on the Go partners. Players must be at least 18 years old to purchase any lottery product.
