It's been a busy week for Arkansas Scholarship Lottery claim centers.
Five ticket holders have won a total of $260,000 in various games.
The top prize winner is David S. Burke, Jr. (photo below), of Jacksonville, who picked up a $100,000 check today at the Little Rock Claim Center. He won the big money with a $100,000 Riches instant ticket purchased at In & Out Express at 705 South 1st Street in Jacksonville. The retailer is a winner, too, since it gets a $1,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
There were also three $50,000 winners this week. We told you Tuesday about Larry Mingo's big win and today, Karen Barrow of Cabot (photo below with friend) claimed her $50,000 prize in Little Rock. She won it with a Block Bingo instant ticket purchased at Nash#6 at 914 West Main Street in Cabot. The Nash store also gets a $500 bonus for selling the ticket.
Also today, Randy Jones of North Little Rock (photo below) today claimed a $50,000 prize in Little Rock. He won the prize in the Wednesday night Powerball drawing, winning $10,000 and benefiting from his purchase of the $1 PowerPlay option, which multiplied the prize five times. He bought his winning ticket at Superstop 66 at 5421 MacArthur Drive in North Little Rock. Randy said now he now knows how it pays to Power Play!
And, Carrol VanDalsen of Conway (photo below) today claimed a $10,000 prize in Little Rock. He won the prize with a Decades of Dollars ticket purchased at Doublebees #111 at 473 Highway 64 East in Conway.
