The Arkansas Lottery was approved in November 2008. The lottery launched with a myriad of celebrations and plenty of expectations across the state as the first tickets went on sale.
Soon after being introduced to the state, the Arkansas Lottery joined the two national lotteries, Mega Millions and Powerball. The Powerball lottery remains a popular game in Arkansas, with a record $25 million in tickets sold at a Mayflower store in 2010.
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.
The Arkansas Lottery reports that more than 92 cents of each dollar of lottery revenue go toward prizes, commissions, scholarships, and other state expenses. Players must be 18 years or older and can only purchase tickets from authorized retailers and not online. Winners have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prizes.
