Northwest Arkansas resident claims $250M Powerball ticket

From the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery

The Arkansas lottery player who purchased the $250.8 million jackpot-winning Powerball® ticket recently claimed their prize from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL).

The winning ticket was ordered via the Jackpocket mobile app for the March 2 drawing. The winning numbers were 2, 17, 18, 38 and 62, and the Powerball number was 20. The Jackpocket retail location, Winners Corner, is located at 6801 W. 12th St. in Little Rock. It marks the largest prize ever won from a ticket ordered through Jackpocket’s mobile app.

The lucky winner, a Northwest Arkansas resident, opted to receive the prize as a one-time cash payment of $118 million before taxes. The winner selected their own numbers for the ticket and has elected to remain anonymous.

The $250.8 million Powerball jackpot will benefit Arkansans in more ways than one. During this jackpot cycle, Powerball generated $2,351,480 in cash sales, and retailers earned $121,050 in total commissions. Every Arkansas lottery ticket sold also supports education, with net proceeds funding scholarships for students across the state.

The $250.8 million Powerball jackpot won on March 2 marked the third time the Powerball jackpot has been won in Arkansas. Previous wins include a historic $1.817 billion jackpot won by an Arkansas Lottery player on December 24, 2025, and a $25 million jackpot won on January 2, 2010.
