Little Rock, Arkansas – Two lottery players in Arkansas received a dose of good fortune Wednesday night, as the latest Natural State Jackpot and Millionaire for Life™ drawings produced notable wins and marked an early milestone for the state’s newest multi-state game.
The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery reported that a winning Natural State Jackpot ticket worth $180,000 was purchased for the Feb. 25 drawing through the Jackpocket mobile app. The winning numbers were 1, 10, 26, 29 and 36. As of now, the ticket remains unclaimed, and the winner has 180 days from the draw date to come forward and collect the prize.
Lottery officials are encouraging players who purchased tickets for that drawing to double-check their numbers. Unclaimed prizes can expire if not claimed within the allowed timeframe, making it important for players to verify their tickets as soon as possible.
With the jackpot hit, the Natural State Jackpot prize has reset to $50,000 for tonight’s drawing.
New game delivers early win in Arkansas
Wednesday night also brought excitement for Millionaire for Life™, a new multi-state draw game that launched in Arkansas on Sunday, Feb. 22. A winning ticket worth $7,500 was sold at Extra Stop #8, located at 20708 Arch St. Pike in Hensley.
The winning numbers for the drawing were 1, 33, 35, 39 and 55, and the Millionaire Ball™ was 3. The lucky player matched four of the five winning numbers along with the Millionaire Ball to secure the $7,500 prize.
This ticket represents a milestone for the new game, becoming the first Millionaire for Life ticket in Arkansas to award a prize greater than $500.
Millionaire for Life offers players the chance to win a grand prize of $1 million a year for life, along with a second-tier prize of $100,000 a year for life. Drawings are held daily at 10:15 p.m., and players must match all six numbers drawn to win the top prize.
Lottery officials say the combination of the unclaimed jackpot ticket and the early success of the new game highlights the continued excitement surrounding lottery play in Arkansas. Players are reminded to keep tickets in a safe place and sign the back of any winning ticket to protect ownership.
For one Arkansas player, a life-changing prize is waiting to be claimed. For another, the early success of a new lottery game has already delivered a welcome reward.
