Arkansas LOTTO Jackpot Shatters Records
On August 9, 2024, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) announced that the LOTTO jackpot skyrocketed to .98 million ahead of its Saturday night drawing. This astonishing growth surpassed the game’s previous record-high jackpot of .338 million, won by a lucky player in May 2023.
The LOTTO game is exclusively played and won within the state of Arkansas. Winners can claim their prizes by matching six numbers drawn between 1 and 40, along with a bonus number. Alternate prizes are available for players who match three or more winning numbers, with or without the bonus.
Award-Winning History
Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) has a remarkable history, awarding over billion in prizes to winners since 2009. Additionally, more than 770,000 college scholarships have been distributed, which benefit Arkansas students. The ASL has also generated significant revenue, with more than 7 million in state and federal tax revenue and over 1 million in retailer commissions.
The LOTTO jackpot history includes notable winners. A Sebastian County resident won a .338 million jackpot, while a Pulaski County resident won a 9,000 jackpot. Winners have 180 days to claim their prize. If multiple jackpot-winning tickets are sold, the prize is divided equally among them.
LOTTO tickets are only per play and are available through licensed lottery retailers and various ticketing platforms. The ASL continues to provide opportunities for state residents to win significant prizes and contribute to local education.”
