NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackpocket lottery app is partnering with the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery to celebrate the launch of the brand new game LOTTO by offering Arkansans their first lottery ticket free on the app.

New customers can receive a free LOTTO ticket by downloading the Jackpocket app and entering the code ARLOTTO at checkout. With Jackpocket, lottery fans can play their favorite Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Games, including Mega Millions, Powerball, Lucky for Life, Cash 3, Cash 4, Natural State Jackpot—and now LOTTO—right from their phone.

"The biggest game in Arkansas is here, and we are extremely proud to offer it on Jackpocket," said Peter Sullivan, founder and CEO of Jackpocket. "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 statewide join the first LOTTO drawing on September 21 on Jackpocket."

Exclusive to Arkansas, LOTTO boasts a starting jackpot of $250,000 with drawings every Wednesday and Saturday. Players choose six numbers from 1 to 40. If their ticket matches the first six numbers drawn in any order, they win top prize. A seventh Bonus Number is also drawn for more ways to win other prizes. This is the most significant new game launch since the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery's inception in 2009.

Jackpocket's user-friendly mobile app allows players to conveniently place ticket orders, view an image of their ticket, check lottery results, receive prizes up to $500, and even make payouts directly through the app.

In Arkansas alone, there have been nearly 30,000 individual winners on the Jackpocket app, with over $3.7 million in prizes won to date. In June 2022, a Jackpocket player in Pine Bluff won a record $520,000 prize, the highest ever Natural State Jackpot in the history of the game.

More than 1.1 million lottery players across the country have ordered winning tickets on the Jackpocket app to date, totaling over $185 million in prizes.
