A winning $1.8 billion lottery ticket was purchased in Cabot, making history as one of the largest lottery jackpots ever won in the state of Arkansas — and one of the biggest in the nation. Arkansas Scholarship Lottery officials confirmed that the life-changing ticket matched all numbers in the recent drawing, securing the full grand prize. The winning numbers are 4, 25, 31, 52, 59 and a Powerball of 19.
The identity of the winner has not yet been released, and officials say the claimant has the option to remain private once the prize is processed. The winning ticket was sold inside the Cabot city limits, and local businesses say excitement is buzzing across the community as word spreads.
The $1.8 billion win brings national attention to Cabot and could bring significant economic impact depending on how the winner chooses to claim and invest their prize. Residents are already speculating which store sold the golden ticket — a retailer that may receive a substantial bonus for selling the winner.
More details are expected in the coming days.
