Craighead County, Arkansas – A Craighead County man is feeling incredibly lucky after winning a $100,000 top prize from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL), thanks to his favorite instant game, Jewel 7s. M. Robinson, a regular lottery player, purchased his $5 ticket at a Kum & Go gas station located on Stadium Blvd. in Jonesboro. What he didn’t expect was that this routine purchase would be the ticket to his biggest win yet.

Robinson, a daily lottery player, often chooses the Jewel 7s game, and it’s become a familiar part of his routine. When he scratched off the ticket, he was left in a state of shock. The very first row of the ticket revealed the grand prize—$100,000. “I started rubbing my eyes to make sure I was looking at it correctly,” Robinson said, still in disbelief over his good fortune.

To verify the win, Robinson returned to the gas station and asked the clerk to scan his ticket. The scanner’s response left both of them in awe: Robinson needed to head to Little Rock to claim his prize. The clerk’s astonished reaction was, “Wow, we’ve never seen that! You need to go to Little Rock.”

Robinson, still processing his good luck, made his way to the ASL Claim Center, where he officially claimed his winnings. For the Craighead County resident, the $100,000 prize came as a pleasant surprise, and he already has plans for how he will use the money.

When asked about his future plans, Robinson mentioned that he would use his winnings to pay bills. This unexpected windfall will no doubt provide him with financial relief, but Robinson’s humble response shows he has his priorities in check.
