Play types include Exact Order ($500 top prize), Any Order, Exact/Any Order, Front Pair, and Back Pair. Cash 3 is one of the most accessible games in the Arkansas portfolio.
Cash 4 (4 digits, 0-9)
Cash 4 works the same way as Cash 3 but with four digits. Midday draws at 12:59 PM CT (Monday through Saturday) and evening draws at 6:59 PM CT daily. The Exact Order top prize is $5,000. The same play types are available as Cash 3, giving players flexibility in how they structure their wagers.
Natural State Jackpot (5/39)
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)
LOTTO is Arkansas's in-state jackpot game. Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 40, drawn Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 9:00 PM CT. A bonus number is drawn from the same 1-40 pool (the remaining balls after the 6 main numbers are drawn). The bonus ball creates additional prize tiers without requiring a separate pool. The jackpot starts at $500,000 and grows until won.
Millionaire For Life (5/58 + 1/5)
Millionaire For Life replaced Lucky for Life in the Arkansas lineup. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 58 plus a Millionaire Ball from 1 to 5. Drawn daily at 10:15 PM CT. The top prize is $18 million paid for life, with a second-tier prize of $100,000 per year for life. Nine prize tiers make this a compelling game for players seeking life-changing, recurring payouts.
