Lottery luck continues in Arkansas as players win big with instant games.

A Benton resident, who has elected to remain anonymous, won a $1 million top prize on Instant Million. She claimed her prize at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center on March 3.

The winner purchased her ticket during a regular trip to the gas station at Circle K Store 2709986, 11580 Highway 70 in Benton. A weekly lottery player, she decided to buy Instant Million after the $20 ticket caught her eye.

“It looked good!” she told lottery officials.

As it turned out, the winner had an eye for big prizes: her ticket held one of the three $1 million top prizes available on the scratch-off game. Shocked, she first shared the good news with her husband, who had to double-check the ticket at two lottery retailers before he could believe it.

With her win confirmed, the lucky winner plans to buy a new truck and camper.

“I’m just grateful it happened,” the winner said.

Two $1 million top prizes remain on Instant Million.

Another winner, Junious Gammill, won $200,000 playing $200,000 Platinum. He also claimed his prize on March 3.

The winning ticket was sold at Casey’s 4532, 312 Sylamore Ave. in Mountain View.

Gammill, an occasional lottery player, had just left work for his lunch break when he decided to buy some lottery tickets.

“Why not?” he thought.

At the retailer, Gammill purchased his $200,000 Platinum Jackpot ticket and scratched it off while still in the store. To his surprise, the last row held a $200,000 top prize.

Gammill immediately called his wife to tell her the good news. While she was initially in disbelief, the lucky winner grew emotional about the big win.

“I know my family will be taken care of,” Gammill told lottery officials.

Among other plans, Gammill will buy a new wheelchair for his son and save his winnings.

One $200,000 top prize remains on $200,000 Platinum.
