Arkansas Woman Wins a Whopping $50,000 in Powerball Drawing

Arkansas has another big-money winner in Saturday's Powerball drawing.

No, it wasn't one million dollars like a Conway woman won last month with the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery but it was cool $50,000. The winning ticket was sold in Beebe at a local tobacco shop and the woman's name has remained anonymous.

Huge Jackpot

That also means that the $700,000 million jackpot is still up for grabs and has swelled up to $747 million dollars for the next drawing this evening Feb. 6.

All in all, approximately 9,115 Arkansans have won some type of prize in the Powerball drawings, and over $110,000 in prizes have been won by lucky fans hoping to win the big one.
