The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery's (ASL) LOTTO game is heating up!

The jackpot has skyrocketed to a record-breaking $2.935 million for Wednesday, August 7, 2024, night's drawing.

This Arkansas-exclusive game offers players the chance to win big, with the jackpot resetting to $250,000 after each win.

Do you want to participate?

To play LOTTO, you must be 18 years old or older and purchase a $2 ticket. Drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 p.m. CT.

Winning big with LOTTO

Winning the Arkansas LOTTO jackpot is about matching numbers. Here's how it works:

  • Pick your lucky six: Choose six numbers from a range of 1 to 40.
  • The big draw: During each drawing, seven numbers are selected: six main numbers and a bonus number.
  • Match to win: If your chosen six numbers match any of the six main numbers drawn in any order, you win the jackpot!
  • Bonus boost: Matching the bonus number can increase your prize amount for non-jackpot winnings.
  • More ways to win: Don't despair if you miss the jackpot! You can still win prizes by matching three, four, or five of the main numbers drawn.

All about LOTTO

LOTTO, an exclusive draw game offered only to Arkansas residents, launched in September 2022. Unlike nationwide lotteries like Powerball and Mega Millions, all the fun and potential winnings stay within the state.

Since its debut, LOTTO has already created big winners in Arkansas. A lucky resident from Sebastian County claimed a $2.338 million jackpot, while another from Pulaski County won an impressive $999,000.

Supporting Arkansas

Every LOTTO ticket purchased contributes to a brighter future for Arkansas students. The ASL  is dedicated to funding higher education.

Since 2009, the ASL has distributed over $1.4 billion in scholarships, empowering countless Arkansans to pursue their dreams. By playing LOTTO, you're not just chasing a life-changing jackpot; you're also investing in the state's next generation of leaders and innovators.

So, why wait? Grab a LOTTO ticket and experience the thrill of the game while knowing your purchase is making a positive impact on Arkansas's future.

Could you be the next lucky winner?
