Lady Luck! Arkansas Worker Scratches Her Way to Half a Million Dollars

Talk about luck! Imagine going to work in Arkansas and stopping by a convenience store to purchase a $20 instant game scratch-off, only to realize that you just won $500,000.

Arkansas Lottery Scratch-off Ticket Winner - $500,000

That's exactly what happened when B. Todd of Little Rock recently stopped by the QuickTrip #7211 on Otter Creek Road on her way to work. This has become a daily routine for the lucky lady who was going to take the day off but changed her mind at the last minute due to a schedule change.

As luck would have it, she went into the store to purchase the $20 instant game scratch-off ticket she loves to play, named 200X the Cash. She scratched off the winning ticket inside the store and couldn't believe it. She texted her daughter immediately to let her know she had won the big prize, and both were so excited they began to scream. B. Todd always told her daughter she would share her winnings with her if she ever won the top prize. Finally, after all that, she contacted her husband to give him the great news, and he said it was far better than anything he had anticipated, and he joined the celebration.

Todd claimed her prize at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center on May 13. When lottery officials asked what she planned on doing with their newfound fortune, she said, "Invest."

What turned out to be almost a day off from work turned into a lucky fortune!

Three top prizes worth $500,000 each remain on the 200X the Cash instant game.

Also, congratulations to a Bella Vista, Arkansas couple who just won $230,000 in the Natural State Jackpot Drawing on May 7, 2025. They claimed their prize on May 14.
