LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The month of January ended with some big winners in Arkansas Scholarship Lottery drawings.
A Jan. 31 Natural State Jackpot drawing had a winning ticket worth $130,000, lottery officials said. The ticket was sold at the J-Mart on Midland Blvd. in Fort Smith, although officials said the winner has not yet come forward to claim their prize.

In a second win, Paul Price Jr. of Hot Springs has come forward to claim a $25,000 prize from the Jan. 27 LOTTO drawing. Price and his wife claimed their prize at the ASL claim center in Little Rock on Feb. 2.
Price’s win came from matching five of the six numbers drawn, along with a matching bonus number, officials said.
