Woman texts daughter a picture of lottery ticket. ‘Tell me if we see the same thing’
An Arkansas lottery player ended her year with a top prize in one of her favorite games.
“You always dream about it,” the Sevier County woman told Arkansas lottery officials in a Jan. 2 news release. “You think, ‘What if this happens?’”
The winner purchased two $10 “Multiplier Mania” scratch-offs from a B & B Store in Lockesburg, but both tickets were losers, lottery officials said.
Holding out hope for a big win, the woman bought a third ticket and scratched it in her car, according to the release.
The first thing she revealed was the game’s top prize, officials said.
She messaged her daughter a photo of the ticket and said, “I need you to tell me if we see the same thing,” according to the release.
What she saw was a $200,000 prize, officials said.
The daily lottery player told officials she plans to continue playing lottery games.
“My expectations are so high because now I know it can happen,” she said.
Lockesburg is about a 140-mile drive southwest from Little Rock.
