Shop St Joseph $10K grand prize claimed

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- A St. Joseph resident was able to bring home $10K shortly after the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce announced its winning Shop St. Joe numbers.

The shopping program began on Nov. 12 and had a grand prize worth of $10,000 as well as a $2,500 prize, with other small business prizes given out from select merchants.

Almost immediately after the numbers were announced, participants called to claim their prizes.

Grand Prize Winner Jackie Miller got the winning ticket from Narrative Home & Boutique while shopping on a Sunday. 

Miller found out in her living room that she had the winning ticket number: 1956933, and couldn't believe she won.

"Oh, all-out happy dance in my living room. And just very excited. I couldn't believe it," said Miller.

Miller felt really sentimental about the program due to her parents owning a small business.

The longtime resident plans to give back to a local charity and to her kids for Christmas with the money she won.
