Karen E. Segrave Delina (cq) Snow of Van Buren holds a check for $15,000 (the net amount) on Tuesday afternoon at the Arkansas Lottery Claims Center in downtown Little Rock.

The Arkansas lottery sold an estimated $1.2 million in tickets on the lottery's first day and paid about $702,000 in prizes, its top official said Tuesday.

A crowd gathers at the Murphy USA at Chenal Parkway and Cantrell Road shortly before midnight Sunday in Little Rock in preparation for the first purchase of a Arkansas Scholarship Lottery ticket.
