Arkansas LOTTO jackpot soars to record high: $2.719 million!

Buckle up Arkansas Lottery players because the LOTTO jackpot has skyrocketed to $2.719 million for this Saturday night's drawing, July 20, 2024.

That's right, this is the biggest jackpot LOTTO has ever seen, and with every passing draw, the prize money just keeps climbing.

Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Executive Director Sharon Strong said:

This is LOTTO's highest jackpot ever, and it's growing with every draw. After our record year for scholarship proceeds, we're even more excited to watch the jackpot rise, knowing that ticket sales will help Arkansas students.

While 13 lucky players walked away with August LOTTO prizes, the record-breaking jackpot remains available.

Your chance to win big with LOTTO

An exclusive game to Arkansas, LOTTO offers players the opportunity to snag life-changing prizes. Twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9:00 p.m., the suspense builds as the winning numbers are drawn. To claim the grand prize, you just need to match all six numbers drawn in any order. But that's not all! You can still win exciting prizes by matching three or more winning numbers, with or without the bonus number.

Ready to play? Here's what you need to know

Playing LOTTO is easy and affordable. Tickets are just $2 each and can be purchased from licensed Arkansas lottery retailers or conveniently online through the Jackpocket app, Lotto.com, and Jackpot.com. Just remember, ticket sales close at 8:59 p.m. on draw days, so don't miss your chance! Players must be 18 years or older to participate.

Key points to remember

The LOTTO jackpot starts at $250,000 and keeps growing until a lucky winner scoops it all up.

If no winner is found, the jackpot resets back to $250,000 for the next drawing.

In the event of multiple winning tickets, the jackpot amount is divided equally among the winners.

Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.

Investing in the future

Founded in 2009, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) plays a vital role in supporting the educational aspirations of Arkansas residents. Over the past decade, they've contributed $1.4 billion to scholarships, directly impacting the lives of over 770,000 students.

This investment empowers individuals to pursue higher education, opening doors to brighter futures and fueling the state's workforce with skilled professionals.

The ASL's reach extends beyond scholarships, too. They contribute millions to retailer commissions and state and federal tax revenue, further demonstrating their commitment to the economic well-being of Arkansas.
