Lucky Arkansas lottery player Tessa M. won $100,000 on a $5 More Money instant-win game. She purchased the winning ticket from Casey's General Store #3023, located at 505 West Trimble Avenue in Berryville. She traveled to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) Claim Center in Little Rock to claim her prize.

While Tessa was taking a trip with her granddaughter, she stopped at Casey's General Store to get gas. While she was there, she bought two More Money scratch-off tickets and two other lottery games. She waited until she got home to scratch off her tickets. As she slowly revealed the symbols on her More Money scratch-off, she became more and more excited.

In an interview with Arkansas Lottery officials, Tessa said, “There was one, then another one, and another one.”

When she realized she had won a big prize, she immediately called her husband. “You're not going to believe this,” she said.

Immediately, she called her husband. “You're not going to believe this,” she said. Then, she called her children to spread the good news.

This is not Tessa's first lottery win. She has previously claimed prizes of $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000. With this prize, she intends to remodel her home.

How to play the More Money instant-win game

This is a $5 instant-win game with a top prize of $1000,000. There are four columns on the ticket, each a separate game. To play each game, simply scratch off the six dollar symbols in each column.
