Where it's at

There have been a few big winners lately and there are some big jackpots to be won.  Club Keno has produced a couple of winners from Jefferson City over the last week.  Last Friday, a player won more than $15,000 at the American Legion.  A ticket worth more than $5,000 was sold at Jamey's Private Club last night. 
Two players matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000.  Winning tickets were sold at the following locations: 

• Q Stop on Terra Lane in O'Fallon
• Twin Island Shopping Center in Blue Eye

You could be the next big winner in Missouri.  The Show Me Cash jackpot for tonight, Friday the 13th, is an estimated $240,000.  The Powerball jackpot for Valentines Day is an estimated $92 million. 

Gadget Giveaway

I know Pick 3 and Pick 4 players are loving our latest promotion!  Get a voucher for each $3 single-ticket purchase of Pick 3 and Pick 4 and then enter it into our "Fabulous February Gadget Giveaway" for a chance to win some great prizes.  In each of three drawings, we'll give away: a Sharp Aquos® HDTV, five iPhones™, 20 Garmin® GPS navigators and 25 iPod® Touch MP3/video players. 
The first deadline is 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11.  What a great way to win some great prizes for simply playing your favorite numbers.  Good luck.

Did you notice?

In last Wednesday' drawing, I noticed that Powerball produced the first match-five millionaire under the new rules.  One player in West Virginia matched five white-ball numbers and selected the Power Play option.  Now, the payout would have been nice with a Power Play number of four, but with the new rules the prize jumped to $1 million.  Since the prize is paid like the regular match-five prize, that lucky player will receive a cool million in a lump-sum payment, before taxes. 
Powerball continues to climb.  The jackpot for Feb. 11 sits at an estimated $78 million.  And don't forget Show Me Cash - tonight's jackpot is an estimated $151,000.  Good luck. 

Where it's at

There was one big winner in Powerball last night.  A player who buys tickets at Casey's on St. Baltimore in Kirksville matched five white-ball numbers to win $200,000.  The Powerball jackpot for Feb. 7 is an estimated $65 million.
