The new product, Lotto, is available through the Jackpocket app, and to get their first ticket for free, Arkansas residents must enter the code ARLOTTO.
To play, customers choose six numbers ranging from one to 40. If a players’ ticket matches the first six numbers drawn, in any order, they win the top prize.
A seventh bonus number is also drawn, offering players an opportunity to win other prizes. Lotto boasts a $250,000 starting jackpot, and draws are scheduled to take place every Wednesday and Saturday.
Jackpocket, meanwhile, called Lotto “the most significant new game launch since the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery’s inception in 2009.”
“The biggest game in Arkansas is here, and we are extremely proud to offer it on Jackpocket,” said Peter Sullivan, Jackpocket Founder and CEO.
"With a top prize starting at $250,000, this exciting new game gives Arkansas players the chance to win life-changing prizes all while supporting Arkansas Scholarship Lottery beneficiaries.
“Whether you play from home or on the go, we hope lottery lovers state-wide join the first Lotto drawing on September 21 on Jackpocket.”
Players can purchase tickets for other Arkansas Scholarship Lottery games through Jackpocket, including Mega Millions, Powerball, Lucky for Life, Cash 3, Cash 4 and Natural State Jackpot.
Alongside Arkansas, Jackpocket is currently available in 12 other US jurisdictions, including the Natural State’s neighbour, Texas.
