Natural State Jackpot is an Arkansas-exclusive game. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 39, drawn every evening at 8:00 PM CT, seven days a week. The jackpot starts at $50,000 and rolls over until won. With no bonus ball, this is a straightforward pick-5 game with favorable odds compared to multi-state games. It's the only daily jackpot game exclusive to Arkansas players.
LOTTO (6/40 + Bonus)
