A breakfast stop turned into a $200,000 lottery win for Donald Allcorn of Booneville, Arkansas.
Allcorn was visiting Casey's General Store on East Main Street to grab breakfast when he decided to purchase a couple of instant-win lottery tickets, according to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery.
His second ticket brought him a $100 prize. Feeling lucky, he then purchased a $10 Triple Red 777 scratch-off ticket, which turned out to be the big winner.
"I just kept scratching until I saw the '7' symbol, thinking that I won maybe $10 or $20," Allcorn told lottery officials.
But the surprise was much bigger — he had landed the game's $200,000 top prize!
Allcorn and his wife already have plans for the unexpected windfall. They intend to:
-
Buy a new house.
-
Take care of their children.
-
Save the remaining prize money.
There's still more winning potential in the game, too. According to lottery officials, two additional $200,000 top prizes remain in the Triple Red 777 game.
