A man who moved from Illinois to Arkansas about a year ago has won $250,000, state lottery officials said Monday.
According to a news release, Charles Geinosky of Bull Shoals relocated to the Natural State to pursue his "lifelong dream of fishing every day."
Over the weekend, he hauled in a big win. His Big Money Multiplier scratch-off ticker was reportedly purchased at OM Sales LLC, 702 Central Blvd. in Bull Shoals.
"My heart stopped when I saw what I had won," Geinosky, a retiree who worked 41 years in the elevator business, told lottery officials.
He said he plans to start a college fund for his 11-month-old granddaughter with his prize.
