Little Rock, Arkansas – Arkansas lottery players have another reason to check their tickets as in-state jackpots continue to rise, offering fresh excitement for those hoping to win close to home. For the upcoming drawing, the LOTTO jackpot has climbed to $640,000, making it one of the more attractive prize pools currently available to Arkansas players.
More Than Just the Jackpot
While the top prize is drawing the most attention, LOTTO offers more ways to win than just hitting the jackpot. The game has already produced four jackpot winners, but many players have also claimed prizes by matching three or more numbers, either with or without the Bonus Number. These smaller wins still add up and give players more chances to walk away with cash.
Since LOTTO launched in 2022, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery has paid out $12,015,150 to 1,076 players who each claimed prizes of more than $500. Those winnings not only reward players, but also help support scholarships and education programs across the state.
LOTTO drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $2 per play, making it an affordable option for players looking to test their luck. Ticket sales close at 8:59 p.m. on drawing nights, giving players a clear deadline to get their entries in.
As the jackpot continues to climb, Arkansas players are keeping a close eye on the numbers, hoping the next draw could turn a simple ticket into a life-changing win.
