A lucky Sherwood man recently claimed a $20,004 Mega Millions_^® prize at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) Claim Center. Ken Hawk purchased the winning Quick Pick ticket at KSC Shell Inc., 6915 JFK Blvd. in North Little Rock, for the July 11 drawing. 

Hawk was at home eating lasagna when he got the sudden urge to play the lottery Tuesday night.  

“I ought to try my luck,” he thought while enjoying his dinner. “I went to the ATM to grab some cash and stopped at four locations to purchase a few tickets.” 

The winning numbers for Tuesday night’s drawing were 10, 17, 33, 51, and 64. Hawk matched four white ball numbers and the Megaball_^® number 5. He doubled his prize to $20,000 since he purchased the $1 Megaplier_^® option. Hawk also won $4 on another Mega Millions ticket. 

“I play the lottery occasionally,” he told lottery officials. “I enjoy playing for entertainment and appreciate how it has directly benefited my family – my son and daughter were scholarship recipients.”

Hawk first told his wife about his win and plans to put the lottery prize towards retirement. 

The Natural State Jackpot is $310,000 for tonight. The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday nights drawing is $560 million. The LOTTO jackpot stands at $611,000 for Saturday night. 

Also, for Saturday night, the Powerball_^® jackpot has grown to $875 million, making it the third largest Powerball jackpot, only behind the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016.
