Two Arkansas lottery players recently won big playing draw games.
A winning Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) ticket worth $680,000 was sold in Camden for the Tuesday, November 5, 2024 drawing. The winning ticket was purchased at Tobacco Station USA #4, 100 Garden Oaks Drive S.W. in Camden, and the winning numbers were 5, 15, 25, 27, and 30. This $680,000 jackpot is the highest in the history of NSJ, an Arkansas-exclusive draw game. A Jonesboro resident claimed the previous highest jackpot of $600,000 in July 2024. The Natural State Jackpot game has reset to $50,000 for tonight's drawing.
Additionally, a winning Mega Millions ticket worth $20,000 was purchased at Citgo Food Mart, 101 Lincoln Ave. in Star City, for the Tuesday, November 5, 2024 drawing. The winning numbers were 2, 24, 25, 52 and 58. The Mega Ball was 9, and the Megaplier multiplier was 2. The player matched four out of five winning numbers and the Mega Ball number, winning $10,000. Because they purchased the Megaplier option for an additional $1, their winnings doubled to $20,000. They are one of four players in the nation to win this prize.
