Little Rock, Arkansas - The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) is commemorating the one-year anniversary of its popular draw game, LOTTO. Launched in September 2022, LOTTO is exclusively available for play and winning within the state of Arkansas, contributing to funding college scholarships. With an initial jackpot of $250,000, LOTTO has quickly become a beloved local game.
LOTTO drawings occur every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m. in Little Rock, offering players the chance to try their luck for a mere $2 per play. As per standard lottery regulations, players must be 18 years or older to purchase a ticket.
To secure the LOTTO jackpot, players must successfully match all six main numbers. Alternatively, they can match various number combinations, with or without the bonus number, to claim non-jackpot prizes of up to $25,000. Since its debut, LOTTO has already produced two jackpot winners, including a fortunate player from Sebastian County who pocketed $2.338 million and another winner from Little Rock who claimed $999,000.
ASL Executive Director Eric Hagler expressed his excitement about LOTTO's success and its positive impact on Arkansas' college scholarship funding. He stated,
"We look forward to continuing to offer exciting games like LOTTO to our players."
In celebration of this one-year milestone, ASL has planned two activation events. On October 18th, the public can participate at Jiffy Kwik, 219 S. Arkansas St. in Rogers, and on October 25th at Joy Plus Inc., 5314 N. Stateline Ave. in Texarkana. Attendees can purchase LOTTO tickets and engage in a game for a chance to win lottery merchandise. Both events are scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m.
Additionally, ASL is presenting the LOTTO Bundle exclusively for Arkansas lottery enthusiasts. Priced at just $6, this bundle provides players with four opportunities to win a life-changing jackpot. With the purchase of three Quick Pick plays for a LOTTO draw, players will receive a complimentary LOTTO ticket. This promotion will run throughout the month of October.
Hagler encouraged players to seize this excellent deal by visiting their local lottery retailer and inquiring about the LOTTO Bundle. As excitement continues to build, the LOTTO jackpot for the upcoming Wednesday night's drawing has surged to $293,000. With each drawing that doesn't produce a jackpot winner, the prize amount increases based on game sales.
Furthermore, both winning and non-winning tickets remain eligible for entry into The Club for Points for Prizes, providing players with even more opportunities for excitement and rewards. For additional details, interested individuals can visit Lottery Corner.
