How to Play
Arkansas’s daily-number games share the standard menu of play types:
- Straight — match the drawn digits in exact order — the top payout.
- Box — win on any arrangement of your digits — a lower payout with better odds.
- Straight/Box — split one stake across a straight and a box on the same number.
- Combo — covers every straight arrangement of your digits at once.
- Front / Back Pair — match just the first or last digits, in order, instead of the whole number.
Not every play type is offered on every game, and add-ons can change, so confirm the current menu with the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery. For the full breakdown of how each bet pays, see Box vs. Straight Payouts.
Prizes & Odds
Because every result is equally likely, the straight odds for each game are fixed:
- Cash 3 (Pick 3) — 1 in 1,000 straight.
- Cash 4 (Pick 4) — 1 in 10,000 straight.
Box plays have better odds but smaller payouts. Prize amounts vary by play type, wager size, and state, and can change over time — check the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery for current Arkansas payout tables. No past result ever changes a future draw; see Lottery Odds Explained for the full math and what “due” really means.
Claiming Arkansas Lottery Prizes
Smaller prizes can be cashed at licensed Arkansas retailers; larger prizes are claimed at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center in Little Rock or by mail. Prizes of $1 million or more must be claimed in person.
Deadline: You have 180 days from the drawing date to claim a Arkansas draw-game prize. Check the deadline printed on your ticket, since an expired ticket can’t be redeemed.
Taxes: Yes. Arkansas withholds 3.7% state tax and 24% federal tax on prizes over $5,000. This isn’t tax advice; consult a professional.
Claim locations, deadlines, and tax details can change — always confirm the current process with the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
Arkansas Lottery Winner Privacy & Public Records
In many states, a lottery winner’s name and city or county become public record once a prize is claimed, and the lottery may use them in publicity. Some states let winners remain anonymous, or claim through a trust or legal entity to keep their name private.
Winners of prizes over $500,000 may remain anonymous (since 2021), though the name becomes public after three years; smaller prizes are generally public.
Winner-privacy laws change; confirm the current policy with the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery before you claim a large prize.
