Lotto.com and Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Donate $5,000 to Fight Hunger

Partnership Raises Funds for Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance Through Special One-Day LOTTO Ticket Sales

Lotto.com, the nation’s first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, and the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) have donated $5,000 to the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance following a successful one-day fundraising initiative. All proceeds from Arkansas’ LOTTO game ordered on Lotto.com on Wednesday, October 29, were donated to the nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing food insecurity across the state.

“At Lotto.com, we’re proud to partner with the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery on initiatives that go beyond creating winners—they create positive change,” said Kweku Sapara-Grant, Director of External Affairs for Lotto.com. “While our sales help support key state programs like the ASL’s Scholarship Fund, we believe our responsibility goes further. We strive to make a positive impact in every community we enter. Thank you to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery and the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance for the opportunity to be part of this initiative and showing what’s possible when communities and organizations come together.”

“We were honored to support the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance through our promotion with Lotto.com,” said ASL Executive Director Sharon Strong. “According to a recent study by Honors Arkansas, an estimated 41% of Arkansas college students have been unable to focus in class due to limited food intake. This partnership with Lotto.com expands our commitment to higher education through our efforts to combat college hunger and provide additional support to student success.”

“We are so grateful to Lotto.com and the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery for this generous donation,” said Sylvia Blain, CEO of the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance. “This $5,000 gift will help us tackle hunger among college students across Arkansas, ensuring that students have the nutritious meals they need to focus on their education and thrive on campus. It’s inspiring to see Arkansans come together to support students in need.”

Representatives from Lotto.com and ASL attended the fourth annual Arkansas College Hunger Summit on October 30 to present a check for $5,000, highlighting the collective impact of Arkansas lottery players in supporting food security initiatives statewide.

LOTTO, an Arkansas-exclusive draw game launched in 2022, has created life-changing wins for players across the state. A Garland County resident recently claimed the game’s third-highest jackpot of $1.338 million, following previous jackpots of $5.123 million (Yell County) and $2.338 million (Sebastian County). LOTTO drawings occur every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m., with tickets costing $2 per play.
