Lavaca, Arkansas – A Quick Pick Powerball ticket bought by a lucky Lavaca, Sebastian County resident resulted in a $100,000 payout.
When Randall Overbey learned that he had matched four white balls and the Powerball number 22, he was enjoying his birthday.
“I was at work when I checked my ticket, so my boss was the first to find out about my win. We compared the winning numbers on the lottery’s website to my ticket. After confirming that I won, he asked if I was planning to go home for the day,” Overbey chuckled.
He boosted his prize to $100,000 by selecting the $1 Power Play option.
“I didn’t go home, and although the year just started, I decided to take off today to claim my prize,” he smiled.
Overbey said he intends to use his earnings to take a vacation with his wife Brigitta and that he claimed his reward at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center yesterday.
“This will definitely be a birthday I will never forget!” he said.
