Greenbrier Woman Wins $75,000 Playing Instant Game; $390,000 Natural State Jackpot Ticket Sold Via Jackpocket App

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

Marsha S. of Greenbrier won $75,000 playing the $3 Yahtzee™ Squared instant game. She claimed her prize at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center on April 30.

The winning ticket was sold at Highway 65 Quick Mart on 104 S. Broadview in Greenbrier.

Marsha purchased the winning ticket during a routine trip to the convenience store. A twice-weekly lottery player, Marsha prefers to buy tickets in the $1 to $5 price range. This time, Marsha selected the Yahtzee ticket, having won $10 on the same game one week prior.

The Greenbrier resident scratched her ticket in the parking lot, then sat in disbelief upon winning the $75,000 top prize.

“This isn’t real,” the woman thought.

Marsha, a known prankster, once gave a family member a fake lottery ticket for Christmas. Stunned by her luck, the Greenbrier woman was almost convinced her winning ticket was another fake.

Still in disbelief, the winner shared the news with her aunt and niece.

“She came in and said, ‘Is this a real thing? Is this what it says it is?’” Marsha’s niece shared.

The prize marks Marsha’s most significant yet; previously, her biggest win was $20 from a $1 scratch-off ticket.

With her prize, Marsha intends to purchase a car and save the rest.

“I can help you spend it,” Marsha’s niece offered, laughing.

Following Marsha’s win, two top prizes remain on the Yahtzee Squared instant game.

A $390,000 Natural State Jackpot ticket was sold via the Jackpocket app for the April 28 drawing. The winning numbers were 2, 11, 17, 20 and 24. The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.
