Two Arkansas residents snagged $100,000 in lottery winnings Monday morning.

Rachel Wallace of Bentonville and Brian Malone of Bradford each won $50,000 from $3 instant-game lottery tickets.

The winnings come after the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery reported record earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30. Lottery officials announced last week they raised $97.6 million in scholarship funds last year.

Three lottery winners from Jacksonville, North Little Rock and Pottsville last week netted $127,777 total.
