Besides the national lotteries, the Arkansas Lottery offers several games in the form of Cash 3, Cash 4, Lucky for Life, and Natural State Jackpot.
A large majority of profits from the lottery go toward education scholarships in the state. To date, over $930 million has been contributed to in-state scholarships for college students in Arkansas. Over $3 billion has been awarded to lottery players, with nearly $271 million in commission going to registered lottery retailers.
