A man from Lakeview, Ark. won $1 million dollars through an Arkansas Scholarship Lottery scratch-off ticket.

The man, who chose to remain anonymous, claimed the prize Wednesday, June 15 at the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Claim Center in Little Roc.

The man won the top prize from the $20 $1,000,000 Riches scratch-off ticket. He says his wife purchased the ticket from Michael Gas N Go located at 6135 Highway 5 North in Midway.

The gas station will receive $10,000 in commission for selling the winning ticket.

“My wife and I have a routine when playing the lottery - she buys the tickets, and then I scratch them to see if they’re winners,” the winner told lottery officials.

“She’s really good with understanding the odds and how many top prizes are left on all the games.”
