NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —The identity of the winner of Arkansas’ record-setting $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot has now been confirmed through Arkansas Scholarship Lottery documents, revealing that the prize was claimed by Tracy Hartwick, the brother of North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick.

Lottery records show Tracy Hartwick claimed the jackpot in January after purchasing the winning ticket in Cabot. After electing the lump-sum cash option and paying taxes, Hartwick received $565,873,785.82, according to the documents.

The records also show Hartwick signed paperwork to remain anonymous for six months after claiming the prize. Under Arkansas law, that is the maximum amount of time a lottery winner who is related to an elected official can remain anonymous before their identity becomes public.

According to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery documents, Tracy Hartwick received 94 percent of the after-tax winnings. His brother, Timothy Allen Hartwick, received 3 percent, while another 3 percent was distributed to a third claimant whose name was redacted in the released records.

The Powerball jackpot, announced by the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery after the winning drawing in late December 2025, remains the largest lottery prize ever won in Arkansas.  The winning ticket was sold at a Murphy USA gas station in Cabot on 208 S. Rockwood Drive.

The revelation of the winner’s identity surprised many across Central Arkansas.

“That’s crazy news but you hear something crazy every day,” said Benjamin Britton.

Others said they understood why Hartwick chose to remain anonymous for as long as the law allowed.

“I think waiting over time and then thinking about it and then coming to claim it would be good,” said Ricky Rhodes.

The documents show Hartwick waited the full six-month anonymity period before his identity became public.

We reached out to the City of North Little Rock seeking comment from Mayor Terry Hartwick regarding the records. A city spokesperson said the mayor would not be providing interviews or commenting on the matter.

The newly released lottery documents provide the first official confirmation that the record-breaking Powerball prize claimed in Arkansas belongs to the mayor’s brother, ending months of speculation about the identity of the state’s biggest lottery winner.

WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) — The family of Kadir Skinner is calling for criminal charges against the police officer who shot the 19-year-old after the release of officer body camera footage that attorneys say contradicts the police account of the incident.

The shooting happened June 24 after 11 p.m. at 24th and Jessup streets.

Body camera video shows an officer drawing and firing his weapon while yelling commands. In the footage, officers can be heard saying, “He’s got a gun,” as they approach Skinner, who is on the ground.

Skinner repeatedly tells officers he is unarmed and says he cannot breathe.

“I don’t got nothing. I don’t got nothing,” Skinner says in the video.

Footage shows officers handcuffing Skinner and kneeling on him while he continues to say, “I don’t got nothing. I can’t breathe.”

Skinner was shot in the rear.

A second body camera angle shows a crowd forming as officers instruct people to back up.

Video from a third responding officer appears to show an officer picking something up from the grass and returning toward the crowd and the officers with Skinner.

In the footage, an officer can be heard saying, “Secure the gun,” and the officer wearing the body cam says, “I have it.”

Attorneys for Skinner’s family, along with family members and community supporters, gathered at Shiloh Baptist Church in Wilmington following the release of the video to demand justice.

“Regardless if he had a gun or not, he was still shot in the back, running from police, not having been a threat,” attorney Harry Daniels said.

Attorney Chance Lynch said the footage showed “an unjustified killing.”

“What we saw and what we witnessed was an unjustified killing,” Lynch said.

Attorneys for the family contend the video disputes the police version of events. Wilmington police previously said Skinner came out of a home armed and waved a gun at a crowd before officers opened fire.

“The video that I saw, I didn’t see a crowd, and I did not see Kadir coming out of a residence. I did not see a crowd, and I did not see Kadir pointing a firearm at a crowd,” Lynch said.

Attorneys and the family maintain that Skinner was running from a loose dog.

The family also announced a $25 million claim against the city of Wilmington for wrongful death. They are seeking criminal charges against the officer who shot Skinner.

The Delaware Department of Justice is investigating.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – If you felt shaking along Florida’s east coast on Thursday, you’re not alone. But it wasn’t an earthquake.

A strong “experimental explosion” was reported in the waters off Central Florida on Thursday afternoon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The USGS website indicates that the explosion happened around 3:04 p.m., roughly 91 miles east-northeast of Ponce Inlet.

Per the agency, the event registered a preliminary magnitude of 3.9. However, few other details about what may have caused the explosion have been provided at this time.

“The recorded ground motions from this event are more typical of an explosion than a naturally occurring earthquake,” the USGS website reads. “The Navy has conducted Full Ship Shock Trials in this region in the past.”

News 6 has reached out to Navy officials for more information and is awaiting additional details.

Anyone who felt the impact of the explosion is urged to report their experience here.
