Little Rock, Arkansas – At the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) Claim Center on Thursday, three winners—including a woman who took home a $510,000 prize—claimed their large winnings.
Playing the Natural State Jackpot, the Lamar resident won the grand prize of almost $500,000. Her winnings are the second-biggest in the game’s history.
After purchasing the winning ticket for the Oct. 3 drawing from a Murphy USA location on Market Street in Clarksville, she made the decision to stay anonymous.
Her husband’s and kids’ birthdates served as motivation for choosing the winning numbers, which were 7, 10, 11, 28, and 31.
Two additional Arkansans won significant rewards in addition to the previously stated anonymous winner.
Quitman native Eric C. was the first. After buying the Quick Pick ticket from a Thunderbird Mobile in Greenbrier, he received $30,000.
Finally, Yellville resident Larry S. earned $10,000 with a Quick Pick play in which he bought White Oak MoArk.
