Anticipation rises as jackpots for three draw games—Mega Millions®, Powerball® and LOTTO—continue to climb ahead of their weekend drawings.

Tonight, the Mega Millions jackpot is $321 million.

Mega Millions is a multi-state draw game, and last month, three Arkansas lottery players claimed prizes of $20,000 or more. Drawings are held on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10 p.m. Tickets cost $5 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 9:45 p.m. on draw nights. To win the jackpot, a player must match all five numbers drawn, plus the Mega Ball® number.

Arkansas lottery players have more chances to win big with Saturday night’s Powerball and LOTTO drawings.

The Powerball jackpot is $440 million, rising since the jackpot was last claimed at $1.04 billion in August. Like Mega Millions, Powerball is a multi-state game, and Arkansans can celebrate two big jackpots won in the state. One Arkansas lottery player won a historic $1.817 billion in 2025, and another won $250.8 million earlier this year. 

Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. To win the jackpot, a player must match the five numbers drawn, plus the Powerball number. Tickets cost $2 per play, and players can buy the optional Power Play® multiplier for an additional $1, which can increase non-jackpot winnings by up to 10 times.

Powerball ticket sales cut off at 8:59 p.m. on draw nights.

Also drawing Saturday night, the LOTTO jackpot is $2.709 million.

LOTTO drawings occur on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 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. Other prizes, up to $25,000, are available for players who match three or more winning numbers, with or without the Bonus Number.

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

Draw game tickets are available for purchase at licensed Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (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.
