Nov. 15 (UPI) — An Arkansas woman won $200,000 from a scratch-off lottery ticket she received as a birthday gift from her son.
G. Smith of Malvern told Arkansas Scholarship Lottery officials her son, a frequent lottery player, likes to give tickets as gifts to friends and family members.
The son bought a $10 Triple Red 777 scratch-off ticket from Murphy USA on Harrison Street in Batesville and gave it to Smith for her birthday.
“He’s a good son,” Smith said. “He always takes care of me.”
The ticket turned out to be a $200,000 winner.
“I never dreamed it would be a big winner,” Smith’s son said.
Smith said she plans to share her winnings with her family.
