Arkansas' first-ever lotto game is coming later this month.

It's called the Natural State Jackpot.

"Can I get one Hook, Line and Sinker?" asks Joe Bryant.

The names are unlimited.

"Let me get two, sorry," said Bryant.

There's no limit to how many you can buy in scratch offs and with a Jackpot worth 253-million for this Saturday's drawing of Powerball, you'd think players would be rushing to get a ticket.

"No, not yet." said Kristina Goldman

You could be 253-million dollars richer, nothing to think about right?

Joe Bryant said, "I would quit my job, sit on a porch, do nothing."

That's Powerball, played all over the U.S.

Now things get personal with Arkansans, we have a lottery game of our own.

"I think it would be a good thing," said Kristina. "Everything goes back to Arkansas."

The way to play?

Pick your fab five numbers between 1 and 39.

The top Jackpot 25-thousand , but if no one wins, that goes up 5-thousand dollars each day until someone does.

Kristina said, "I think the odds are better and in my favor."

You can get in the game Monday August 27th.

The price, one dollar.

Your odds of winning, 1 in 575,757.

Drawings are Monday through Saturday at 8:00 p.m.
