A Mountain Home man, Gilbert Steinhouse, was among five Arkansas Lottery players claiming a total of $330,000 in prize money from the Labor Day weekend.
The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery says Steinhouse won $50,000 off a $20 “$50K Cash” ticket he purchased at the EZ Mart at 913 East Ninth Street in Mountain Home. He says he plans on fixing up his house with his winnings.
Lottery Director Bishop Woosley says every lottery ticket players buy helps fund scholarships for Arkansas students.
More than 92 cents of every dollar of Lottery revenue goes to prizes, scholarships, retailer commissions and other expenses in the state. Since the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery began in 2009, the Lottery has provided nearly $700 million for more than 235,000 scholarships to Arkansas students to 51 colleges, universities and technical schools in the state. It has provided more than $2.3 billion in prizes to players, and more than $200 million in commissions to Lottery retailers.
