The initial shipment of Arkansas Scholarship Lottery game tickets will arrive this morning in Little Rock.
The precious cargo will be transported by 18-wheeler to the Scientific Games (SGI) Distribution Center on the west side of town.
In a ceremony to be witnessed by ASL and SGI staff and members of the public, Arkansas Lottery Commissioners will break the seal on the truck’s rear doors and view the huge pallets supporting thousands of tickets. An SGI representative will remove the first pallet of tickets with a forklift.
The tickets will be distributed to 1,500 retailers throughout Arkansas and go on sale one second after midnight September 28. Net proceeds of ticket sales will be used for scholarships for Arkansas college students.
Here's a look at some of the scratch-offs that will be sold:
