The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery is warning players of a video call scam.
Lottery Director Sharon Strong said in a press release Monday that the lottery has been notified of a caller posing as a lottery representative and offering winning million-dollar tickets to random phone numbers.
Strong says this is a scam and the lottery does not offer winning tickets or other monetary prizes over the phone.
If you have been contacted about a lottery prize or drawing by a scam caller, the lottery encourages you to reach out to Director of Investigations and Enforcement Blake Hudson at blake.hudson@arkansas.gov or the Arkansas Lottery Security Hotline 1-888-606-6292 or file a complaint with the Arkansas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division at https://arkansasag.gov/file-a-complaint/
