According to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery, a man stopped for cigarettes at Paul's Discount Tobacco in Pine Bluff and decided to buy a Powerball lottery Quick Pick ticket. Lucky checked his ticket and saw that a smiley face appeared on the screen. The saleswoman checked it at the register. As a result, the man won a large sum.

So, the bad habit brought Lucky $50,000. The winner immediately reported the incident to his sister. The man often buys lottery tickets, but never won more than a few dollars. Lucky plans to donate a portion of the amount to the church, as well as share the winnings with relatives.

Recall that the head of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine Marchenko said that the country will need $ 110 billion until 2027.
