SPRINGDALE, Ark. — According to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL), on July 29, a woman from Springdale claimed a $350,000 prize after dropping $20 on a lottery ticket.

The woman purchased her ticket at the Family Mart at 1405 W. Shady Grove Rd. in Springdale. 

She decided on that particular ticket "on a whim, determined not to overthink her purchase," according to ASL. She plans to go back to college and help out her parents with the winnings.

"I'm still in shock," the woman said. "Everything has felt so surreal since yesterday."

Another winner from Pine Bluff claimed $200,000 in winnings that same day and an anonymous Georgia resident won $1,000,000 after buying a ticket at a gas station in Prescott.
