The end of June proved fortunate for three Arkansas lottery players, with significant wins reported in the state’s scratch-off games. A notable unclaimed prize also emerged from the Natural State Jackpot (NSJ) drawing.
Edward Gunter, a resident of Hot Springs, claimed a $200,000 prize from the Psychedelic Payout game on June 30. The winning ticket was purchased at Lake Hamilton Superstop in Hot Springs. Reflecting on his win, Edward shared his surprise and excitement: “You really won’t believe this.” He recounted how he was speaking to his father when he realized his win and described the moment as life-changing.
In Washington County, Jennifer O. secured a $50,000 prize from the $50,000 Frenzy game. She bought her ticket at Crystal Hill Food Mart in North Little Rock and collected her winnings on June 30. Jennifer described her experience as unexpected: “I wasn’t thinking anything about it.”
Another winner, Greg J. from Little Rock, also won $50,000 playing the same game. His wife had gifted him the winning ticket purchased at Divine in Little Rock. Greg initially doubted his luck but later confirmed his win and plans to invest the money.
Meanwhile, an NSJ ticket worth $90,000 sold in Van Buren remains unclaimed after the July 1 draw. The winning ticket was bought at Flash Market #7182 on Fayetteville Road.
