Arkansas has another mystery winner of a big lottery prize – not as big as the amount that the anonymous Powerball® winner took home in January, but it would be a life-changing amount to many people. Read more below.
One lucky Arkansas lottery player is holding a ticket worth $680,000, after the Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) hit a record-tying high over the weekend.
According to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery, the winning ticket was sold at Park Hill Shell, located at 3100 JFK Blvd. in North Little Rock, for the Feb. 6 drawing. The winning numbers were 8, 9, 14, 16 and 36.
The $680,000 jackpot ties the largest prize in NSJ history, matching a previous record set in November 2024, lottery officials said.
As of Monday morning, the ticket had not yet been claimed. The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize.
Meanwhile, the jackpot for Monday night’s NSJ drawing is $60,000. NSJ is an Arkansas-exclusive lottery game with drawings held daily at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $1 per play, and ticket sales end at 7:59 p.m.
Tickets are available at licensed Arkansas Scholarship Lottery retailers and through select retailer apps as part of the lottery’s Play on the Go program.
Lottery officials also noted that through the end of the month, players can receive a free NSJ ticket when purchasing the 5-Buck Bundle, which includes a $3 Powerball ticket with Power Play and a $2 LOTTO ticket. The bundle must be purchased in person, and all tickets must be Quick Picks.
Players must be 18 years or older to purchase any lottery products.
