Husband buys lottery ticket in Arkansas after wife’s ‘good feeling’ — and they win big
A woman told her husband she “had a good feeling” about their chances in the Arkansas lottery, so she convinced him to test their luck.
The man purchased a $10 Multiplier Bonus scratch-off ticket in Blytheville with the hope that his wife would be right, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery said in a Jan. 23 news release.
He was shocked when he scratched off the ticket to reveal a $200,000 jackpot win, according to Arkansas lottery officials.
Then, he showed the ticket to his wife.
“I was stunned! I really didn’t say anything, just looked at it,” the woman told lottery officials.
The husband said he plans to put the winnings toward his daughter’s college fund.
Blytheville is about a 190-mile drive northeast from Little Rock.
