3 lottery tickets sold in Arkansas win $150,000 or more; 2 prizes unclaimed

Three tickets that each won $150,000 or more have been sold in the state in the last week, Arkansas Scholarship Lottery officials said.

In a Wednesday social media post, officials wrote that William Comfert of Mountain Home won $200,000 off a $10 Cash Diamonds ticket he bought from College Station Gas & Deli, 1580 South College Street. The Mountain Home business will receive a 1 percent commission, or $1,500, for selling the winning scratch-off ticket.

Two big prizes remain unclaimed as of Wednesday afternoon, a lottery spokeswoman said.

A Powerball ticket that earned $150,000 in Saturday's drawing was reportedly sold at the convenience store at 1600 Malcolm Ave. in Newport, and a Natural State Jackpot ticket that netted $170,000 was purchased at Tobacco Warehouse, 810 N. Central St. in Batesville.

Winners have 180 days to claim their prize, according to the spokeswoman.
