A Baxter County man has a bigger, fatter bank account thanks to a winning Powerball lottery ticket.
Randy Worlow of Henderson today claimed a prize of $200,022 at the Jonesboro Claim Center.
He bought the winning ticket at the Holiday Hills Grocery in Elizabeth, also in Baxter County.
Worlow won the huge prize by correctly choosing the numbers on the five white balls chosen Saturday night, October 16. If he had bought the $1 PowerPlay option with his ticket, his prize would have been $1,000,000.
He said he told his wife first about the win. When asked what he planned to do with his prize, he said he would give a part to several churches and put the rest in the bank.
All prizes of $5,000 or higher are subject to withholding for state tax of 7-percent and federal tax of 25-percent.
