North Little Rock, Arkansas – A Natural State Jackpot ticket that a North Little Rock woman purchased using the Jackpocket lottery app for the drawing last Saturday was used to collect a sizeable prize on Thursday.
Her winning ticket has the following numbers: 7, 9, 13, 32, and 39.
McTyer claimed that she was simply unwinding at home when she got the text, “You Won Big,” from Jackpocket.
“I was thinking, ‘Oh, I won like a hundred bucks,” she said.
“Then when I opened the text, I had to look at it four times to see that all the numbers matched. And then I was like, ‘Oh, my God! I now can pay off the house I bought five years ago for me and my mom. I’m just so blessed and thankful,” she added.
She added that she initially discovered the Jackpocket app on Facebook and started reading everything there was to know about it.
She consequently bought a couple of tickets on Saturday using the “small bit of money” she had in her Jackpocket account.
According to the winner, 2022 might very well be her lucky year.
“It’s funny because my boyfriend and I won $50,000 off a scratch-off ticket in June, and I got promoted at work this year, too,” said McTyer.
