Lottery player wins $50,000 on Scratcher’s ticket purchased at St. Joseph Casey’s
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- One Missouri Lottery Player won $50,000 from a 100X Scratcher's ticket purchased at Casey's, located at 401 E. Hyde Park Ave.
"I usually play the $10 ones, and it was there, so I got it," said the winner, as he explained his decision to buy a $10 Scratcher.
He brought it home to his fiancée, and they both learned the ticket contained one of the game's $50,000 prizes.
"We were finishing scratching the ticket, and we saw it and we were freaking out!" he said.
The winner said he and his fiancée are going to use the money to purchase their first home together.
The Missouri Lottery said 100X players have won over $12 million in prizes since the game began. Over $21.7 million remains in unclaimed prizes, including two top prizes of $1 million and three more $50,000 prizes.
The Lottery said players who purchased tickets in Buchanan County last fiscal year won more than $15.6 million in total Missouri Lottery prizes. Retailers received more than $1.5 million in commissions and bonuses and education programs in the county received more than $5.5 million in appropriated Lottery proceeds.
Just over two weeks ago, a player won $50,000 off a "$250 Million Extravaganza" Scratcher's ticket in Gower, Missouri.
