Frederick Smoot of Texarkana has claimed a $125,000 top prize after playing the $125,000 Jackpot instant game from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery.

Three grand prize winning tickets were sold in the Powerball drawing last night. Those were in Memphis, Florida, and California. There were also a couple of big winners in Arkansas as well.

I don't know about you but when the Powerball jackpot gets up to around $200 million I start paying attention and usually start buying a few tickets here and there. As of today, the estimated Jackpot for Wednesday night's drawing is now $1.5 Billion... with a B! I think I can scrape up a few bucks to give it a go. But what happens if you win? Then what?

The Powerball is a BIG one tonight. Do you play the lottery? It's estimated right now at $450 million. No doubt it will be more as the day goes on. As of now, the cash payout is $274.4 million. It's good to remember, if you win you will get less than the cash payout after .... taxes.  So, how much money could you really be taking home if you win the Powerball?

Winning the lottery is a dream we all have and the Arkansas Natural State Jackpot is a big one tonight.

Well, this guy's New Year is sucking so far.

Odds are this waitress will never get a better tip.

Well, if you were hoping to win the $400 million Powerball...sorry, looks like someone won in South Carolina. Bummer, but we can keep dreaming of winning it big.

Let me think about it for a second.....

Texarkana resident Larry Upchurch picked four numbers and the powerball to get a pretty big payout from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery.

Congratulations Osie Wyatt! Osie bought at $20 Arkansas Scholarship Lottery "$1 Million Riches" instant win ticket at A&A Super Stop in Hope, and hit a jackpot!

How scary is this! You win a $1 million lottery. The day before you collect the money, you're dead. That's what happen to a Chicago man last summer.
