Are you one of those "Fair-Weather Lottery Fans" like me? When that jackpot grows to ridiculous proportions, that's when little old me starts paying attention again. I still have a huge problem though, actually remembering to go play!

Frederick Smoot of Texarkana has claimed a $125,000 top prize after playing the $125,000 Jackpot instant game from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery.

Three grand prize winning tickets were sold in the Powerball drawing last night. Those were in Memphis, Florida, and California. There were also a couple of big winners in Arkansas as well.

Well, this guy's New Year is sucking so far.

Texarkana resident Larry Upchurch picked four numbers and the powerball to get a pretty big payout from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery.

On Wednesday, the Powerball lottery reached a record $587.5 million. So far two winning tickets have been announced, one in Arizona and one in Missouri. But there's at least one more guaranteed winner: the Internal Revenue Service. Lottery winners can take their prize in the form of a lump sum or an annuity paid over the next 29 years...
