LITTLE ROCK - The Arkansas Lottery launched a new numbers game yesterday, a six-nights-per-week game called Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) that is expected to offer an average jackpot of more than $150,000, the Associated Press reports.

Tickets cost $1 for the game, which is similar to Powerball and Mega Millions (though NSJ is exclusive to Arkansas).

Odds of matching all five numbers and claiming the top prize in the game will be one in 576,000. Players matching four numbers will win $300; three numbers, $7; and two numbers, $1.

Drawings will be held Monday through Saturday at 8:00 pm at lottery headquarters.
