A Searcy woman won $200,000 in the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery's second-chance drawing from a $10 ticket, lottery officials said Tuesday.

Natasha Ridings bought the originally non-winning Black Pearls instant game ticket at a Doublebee's convenience store in Searcy. The ticket was then entered into the Play It Again second-chance drawing.

Ridings said she plans to use the money toward becoming the owner of a new home.
