The Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) continues to climb ahead of tonight’s drawing, becoming the third-highest jackpot in the draw game’s history.

The NSJ hits $540,000 for tonight, surpassing the $520,000 prize won in June 2022. The game’s biggest jackpots remain a $680,000 prize won in November 2024 and a $600,000 prize won in July 2024.

NSJ is an Arkansas-exclusive game with drawings held daily at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $1 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 7:59 p.m. Five numbers between 1 and 39 are drawn. To win the jackpot, an NSJ player must match all five of these numbers. Once won, the jackpot resets to $50,000, then increases by $5,000 with each draw until it reaches $100,000. After that, the jackpot increases by $10,000 until won.

Tickets are available for purchase at licensed Arkansas Scholarship Lottery retailers and online. Visit the lottery’s Where To Play page to learn more about buying lottery tickets online.
