Pine Bluff resident secures $50,000 prize with $20 instant lottery ticket

Mississippi County man wins $200,000 on scratch-off ticket purchased in Bassett

Pine Bluff, Arkansas – A Pine Bluff resident recently struck it big, claiming a $50,000 prize at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) Claim Center. John T., a frequent lottery player, hit the jackpot on a $20 ticket from the $1,000,000 VIP Club instant game. He claimed his winnings on December 4, marking another significant win in his lottery-playing history.

A Daily Lottery Routine Pays Off

John purchased his winning ticket at Exxon One Stop, located at 2901 W. 28th Street in Pine Bluff, a spot he frequents as part of his daily routine. After scratching the ticket, he knew he had secured a prize but was unsure of the amount. A trip to the ASL Claim Center revealed the exciting news: he had won the game’s $50,000 second-tier prize.

“I felt elated,” John said after discovering his win. “I won!” While John has experienced good fortune in the past, including other $50,000 prizes, he remains thrilled with this latest win. For now, he has shared the news only with his niece and has yet to decide how he plans to use his winnings.

$1,000,000 VIP Club Game Still Offers Big Prizes

The $1,000,000 VIP Club instant game continues to offer players the chance to win big. One $1 million top prize remains unclaimed, keeping the excitement alive for those who try their luck with this popular game.

Mega Millions Jackpot Soars to $579 Million

The ASL also highlights the growing excitement around the Mega Millions jackpot, which now stands at $579 million for tonight’s drawing. This jackpot is the tenth-largest in the history of the multi-state draw game, which has already seen three record-breaking wins in 2024.

Arkansas lottery players can purchase Mega Millions tickets at licensed retailers or through retailer apps using ASL’s Play on the Go program. To learn more about lottery games, jackpots, and where to play, visit MyArkansasLottery.com.
