Just two months after the first Powerball ticket was sold in Arkansas, a jackpot winner has emerged to claim their Arkansas Powerball Jackpot prize.

The Powerball jackpot was $25 million, which can also be claimed as a $12,153,621 million cash option.  The net payout after a 25% federal tax withholdings for the cash option would be $9,115,216.  Arkansas is one of the few states that does not withhold state tax from lottery prize payouts.

The Powerball jackpot win for the Arkansas player comes despite the fact that typically only about 4% of all Powerball winners from all prizes are sold in Arkansas.

To illustrate the long odds on this accomplishment, three states Maine, North Dakota, and Vermont, plus the U.S. Virgin Islands have never had a single jackpot winner in a combined 51 years of participation.

The winning numbers drawn in tonight's Powerball drawing 1-3-2010 were 3, 7, 23, 27, and 42, with a Powerball of 37.

The Power Play multiplier, which increases non-jackpot prizes for tickets purchased with the extra $1 option, was 3.

The Arkansas lottery started selling scratch-off tickets, then added Powerball ticket sales Oct. 31 and Cash 3 ticket sales Dec. 14.  It plans to begin selling tickets to the Mega Millions game Jan. 31.
