Little Rock, Arkansas – The Arkansas LOTTO jackpot has surged to a record-breaking $2.98 million ahead of its highly anticipated Saturday night drawing. This monumental jackpot has now exceeded the previous record-high of $2.338 million, which was claimed by a lucky player in May 2023.
LOTTO is a popular in-state draw game that offers Arkansans the exclusive chance to win substantial prizes. Previous jackpot winners have hailed from Sebastian County and Pulaski County, demonstrating that anyone in Arkansas could be the next big winner.
Drawings for the LOTTO game take place twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Players eagerly await the announcement of six numbers, ranging between 1 and 40, along with a bonus number. To secure the jackpot, participants must match all six primary numbers in any order. However, there are additional prizes available for those who match three or more numbers, with or without the bonus number.
The LOTTO jackpot continues to grow until it is won, resetting to $250,000 after each jackpot win. If multiple jackpot-winning tickets are sold for a single drawing, the prize is divided equally among the winners. Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.
Tickets for the LOTTO game are priced at $2 per play, with sales closing at 8:59 p.m. on drawing days.
