An El Dorado man on Monday became the latest person to claim a $1 million prize through the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery.
FredTavious Davis’ win came from a $20 scratch-off ticket, according to a lottery news release.
Davis purchased the ticket Friday at a Mobil convenience store, 1419 N. West Ave. in El Dorado.
“I’ve been playing the lottery every day for a very long time,” Davis said in the release. “I’ve only won about $500, so I couldn’t believe it when I saw that I won $1 million."
The man said he plans to purchase his mother a car and invest with his winnings. He also wants to help his brother, who he said encouraged him to play the lottery.
Davis is the 72nd person who has won a lottery prize of $1 million or more in Arkansas since 2009, according to this week's release.
