A dad in Arkansas made good on a promise he made to his stepdaughter. 

Cally Krisell says her stepdad used to joke that if he ever hit the lottery, he’d give her the winning ticket.

In last Monday’s Powerball drawing, Cally says he matched four numbers, plus the Powerball. And he’d paid a buck extra for the “multiplier,” which upped his prize from $50,000 to $200,000.

Cally says he showed up at her home to surprise her, and said he had some good news and bad news. The good news was he gave her the ticket. The bad news was she has to start paying her own cell phone bill.
