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.
