Two lottery players have recently secured the top prize in the same instant game, the Diamond Dollars. Gary B., a Faulkner County resident, claimed a $200,000 prize at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) Claim Center on April 8. He purchased his winning ticket at Colt’s Quick Draw in Greenbrier. “Hey, what’s that say?” Gary asked the store manager, who confirmed, “It says you just won $200,000!” Gary plans to use his winnings for home renovations and savings, while maintaining his lottery hobby. “I’m still hoping to match five white balls and the Powerball!” he added.
On April 7, Luis A. from Parker County, Texas, also won $200,000 with the Diamond Dollars. His ticket was sold at Milan’s Mini Mart in Osceola. Luis, a committed scratch-off player, was in disbelief until he confirmed his prize at the ASL Claim Center. “It was like butterflies inside,” Luis expressed. With his winnings, Luis intends to purchase a new home and continue playing the lottery games. “You just don’t believe it, you know,” he remarked.
The Diamond Dollars game still has one top prize left. Interested players can find more information on MyArkansasLottery.com.
