Lockesburg, Arkansas – A woman from Sevier County celebrated the end of 2024 with an unforgettable moment of luck. Judi D., a regular lottery player, claimed a $200,000 prize after playing the $10 Multiplier Mania instant game. She secured her winning ticket at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) Claim Center on December 31.
Persistence Pays Off with Multiplier Mania
Judi purchased her lucky ticket at B & B Store, located at 2467 US Highway 71 in Lockesburg. Earlier that day, she tried her luck by buying two Multiplier Mania tickets, one of her favorite games. Unfortunately, neither ticket contained a prize. However, Judi wasn’t ready to give up.
Determined, she decided to purchase a third ticket and scratch it off in her car. To her astonishment, the first square revealed the top prize of $200,000. Overwhelmed by disbelief, she immediately sent a photo of the ticket to her daughter, asking, “I need you to tell me if we see the same thing.”
Turning Dreams into Reality
Though a daily player, Judi was stunned by her incredible win. Her previous biggest prizes had been $500 and $5,000, which she already considered significant. Reflecting on her win, Judi said, “You always dream about it. You think, ‘What if this happens?’”
Judi plans to use her winnings to make life more comfortable and intends to keep playing the lottery. “My expectations are so high because now I know it can happen,” she shared with lottery officials.
