**BREAKING: Arkansas Man’s Brother’s Unlikely Luck Sparks $350,000 Lottery Jackpot**
In a bizarre incident that has left the small town of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in awe, local resident, Bubba Jenkins, has won a staggering $350,000 in the state lottery. And the reason behind his windfall? His brother’s incredibly bad luck.
According to sources close to the Jenkins family, Bubba’s brother, Jimmy, had been having a terrible week. He spilled coffee on his shirt, tripped on the sidewalk, and even got stuck in a revolving door for 10 minutes. But little did Jimmy know, his misfortune was about to change his brother’s life forever.
“I was just sitting at home, feeling sorry for Jimmy,” said Bubba. “He was having one of those days where everything seemed to be going wrong. So, I decided to buy a lottery ticket to lift his spirits. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen, right?”
As it turns out, that worst-case scenario turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to Bubba. When he checked his ticket, he discovered he had matched all six numbers, securing a whopping $350,000 prize.
“I couldn’t believe it!” exclaimed Bubba. “I started screaming and doing the chicken dance on top of my kitchen table. My cat thought I was having a nervous breakdown!”
Jimmy, who was at the local diner getting a free cup of coffee for being “that guy who got stuck in the revolving door,” received the news via a frantic phone call from his brother.
“I’m like, ‘Jimmy, you won’t believe what just happened!'” said Bubba, reenacting the call. “And Jimmy’s like, ‘What? Did I finally get my free coffee refill?'”
The brothers are now celebrating their good fortune, with Jimmy reportedly planning to invest in a revolving door-proof outfit.
When asked for comment, the Arkansas Lottery Commission simply shook their heads and muttered, “Only in Arkansas…”
**UPDATE:** Bubba has announced plans to use his winnings to buy Jimmy a “Get Out of One Free” card for every bad luck-related incident that occurs in the next year.
