LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A Little Rock man is now celebrating after he won a prize of $200,000 after playing the $10 777 instant game.
Timothy S. bought the winning ticket at the Double Bees Exxon on Colonel Glenn and claimed his winnings at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center on January 29.
He is an avid lottery player and says he has played the same game every day for the past twenty years. After buying his ticket he waited until he got home to scratch it off, and discovered that he had won a big prize!
As soon as he found out he had won, Timothy immediately ran to share the good news with his wife.
“I went in there and kissed my wife and said, ‘We’re going downtown," he said.
He also shared the news with his daughter by surprising her with a text with a photo of the winning ticket.
Timothy said he plans to use his winnings to pay off his house and vehicle and then he will share the rest of the money with his family. He also said he will continue playing the lottery and hopes he will soon land a one-million-dollar prize.
