Who it’s for
The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery suits players who want Millionaire for Life as well as Powerball and Mega Millions, bought at a retailer or through a courier app. It is a weak fit if you need verified state claim, tax or privacy rules.
How it works
The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery is a state agency selling through retailers. We could not verify its regulator, founding year or minimum age. Powerball costs $2 (draws Mon, Wed and Sat), Mega Millions costs $5 (draws Tue and Fri), and Millionaire for Life costs $5 and draws daily.
How it scored
Payouts and claims scored 5, the weakest result: the claim window, anonymity and withholding rules could not be fetched. Odds and value also scored 5. Only national odds were checked: Powerball’s jackpot is 1 in 292,201,338, Mega Millions’ is 1 in 290,472,336 and Millionaire for Life’s top prize is 1 in 22,910,580.
Transparency, player protection and ease of play scored 6, all state-lottery defaults. Reputation scored 7, the strongest, because no sourced regulatory or legal event was found.
Claims, tax and funding
We found no claim deadline, state tax rate, anonymity rule or beneficiary, so we give none. The name suggests scholarship funding, but we did not verify where proceeds go. See the claiming guide and lottery taxes explained.
Playing online
Official state online sales were not confirmed. The courier apps Jackpocket, Lotto.com and Jackpot.com are listed as allowed. No state responsible-play or self-exclusion page could be fetched. See the Arkansas state page.
Our take
Arkansas sells the full set of national games. The scores are defaults driven by missing checks. Confirm the claim window and tax with the lottery before you rely on them. Our methodology explains the defaults.
