One Arkansan has claimed a significant lottery prize following his regular lottery-playing routine. Bob E., a resident of Perry County, won $50,000 by playing the $50,000 Frenzy, a $20 instant game. He claimed his prize at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center on March 13.

Bob, who plays the lottery daily, follows a personal routine for playing instant games. “I don’t know if you call it a system or what,” he explained to lottery officials. “But I always go home and get my lucky nickel to scratch.”

This approach has been successful for Bob in the past; he has previously won several $5,000 prizes and $500 just last week. However, he was aiming for an even larger win when he purchased a ticket from one of his preferred retailers and took it home to scratch.

Upon scratching the ticket, Bob discovered a $1,000 prize with a 20X multiplier. “Whoa! Are there any more?” he wondered as he continued scratching. His ticket also revealed another 20X multiplier and a $10,000 instant win symbol, culminating in the top prize of $50,000.

“I was so surprised,” Bob said about his win.

In excitement, Bob texted his wife "OMG" five times consecutively. Initially worried by the message's urgency, she celebrated once she learned about his win.

Despite winning this large sum, Bob plans to continue playing lottery games and has additional winning tickets yet to claim.

Currently, there are sixty-three top prizes worth $50,000 each remaining in the $50,000 Frenzy game.
