North Little Rock Woman Strikes $170,000 Arkansas Prize on a Phone

Read Kyra's story on THV11 and KARK 4 News!

Kyra said she was at home Saturday night when she got a text from Jackpocket saying, “You Won Big!

“I was thinking, ‘Oh, I won like a hundred bucks,” she explained. “Then when I opened the text, I had to look at it four times to see that all the numbers matched. And then I was like, ‘Oh, my God! I now can pay off the house I bought five years ago for me and my mom. I’m just so blessed and thankful.”

The winner thinks 2022 may be her lucky year.

“It’s funny because my boyfriend and I won $50,000 off a scratch-off ticket in June, and I got promoted at work this year, too,” she said

Natural State Jackpot is a game Kyra plays “quite a bit,” but she’s not sure what inspired her to play that day. “Something like an instinct,” she recalled. 

“I had a little bit of money in my Jackpocket account so I decided Saturday to go ahead and purchase a couple of NSJ tickets. I always play Natural State, the new LOTTO game – man, I’d love to win that one – plus Powerball and Mega Millions.”

"I now can pay off the house I bought five years ago for me and my mom. I’m just so blessed and thankful.”

Kyra is the third Jackpocket player to win top prize on NSJ. Over the summer, a Jackpocket player and mom of 3 in Pine Bluff won a record $520,000. 

Congrats, Kyra! We think there's more luck still to come. 🤞
