Lottery player who says he plays ‘whatever moves me' just won big in Arkansas
A man won big after buying a $3 instant ticket while running errands, Arkansas officials said.
The Pulaski County resident who bought the 10X Cashword instant ticket in Little Rock had no idea the ticket was carrying a $75,000 prize, according to a June 5 news release by the Arkansas Lottery.
'I was excited for sure,' he told officials.
The man bought the ticket while running errands, when a 'spur-of-the moment decision' caused him to enter the convenience store, officials said.
Although he plays the lottery occasionally, the lucky winner said he doesn't have a favorite game.
'I play whatever I feel,' he told lottery officials. 'Whatever moves me!'
As for what he'll do with the winnings, the lucky man plans to throw it into savings, officials said.
