These games are hot

No one hit the Show Me Cash jackpot last night, but 35 Missourians put $250 in their pocket.  The jackpot rolls to an estimated $97,000 this evening.

Powerball rolled again.  The estimated jackpot for April 18 is $31 million. We're starting to see regular winners of the new match five prize.  Two players in other states added Power Play to their tickets for Wednesday's drawing, and as a result, ended up with a million dollar prize.  Even though the Power Play number was two, matching five white-ball numbers with the Power Play will make you a millionaire. 

Get Cruisin'

With only a week to go before the first deadline, don't forget that you can use non-winning $20 Scratchers as one entry into the summer promotion.  There are two $20 games, both with lots of prizes available.  

"4 Million Dollar Cash Bonanza" offers a top prize of $4 million and a second prize of $1 million. 

"$200,000 A Year For Life" began in January and lives up to it's name.  Three lucky winners will receive $200,000 a year for life.

The $20 games have prizes that rival the jackpot games, and during the summer promotion, you'll have a second-chance to win great prizes with a non-winning ticket.  Remember, once you enter a ticket into a promotion, it is no longer eligible for future promotions.  You can enter and track your tickets online with a free My Lottery account.

New poll

The first deadline for the summer promotion is April 22.  I'm curious to know what you think is the best prize in "Get Cruisin.'"  Are you shooting for one in particular, or do you enter no matter what?  Explain yourself in the comments below. 

Where it's at

One player who buys tickets at Earth City Motomart matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball Saturday to win $10,000.  In addition, more than 100 Missourians won $100 playing Powerball.  The Powerball jackpot for April 15 is an estimated $25 million.  Wouldn't that be a fun tax day surprise! 

Powerball

The Powerball jackpot got hit on Wednesday, so it resets to $20 million.  Do you buy tickets for every drawing, or are you done until it gets larger?  I'm thinking that $20 million still sounds like a nice prize...

Show Me the Cash

Another player has won a Show Me Cash jackpot.  A ticket worth $55,000 was sold at Bobcat Station in Thayer.  This is the 30th jackpot awarded in Show Me Cash since the game began in September, and the third this week. 

Where it's at

Last night was a big night for winners.  Someone in D.C. hit the Powerball jackpot, but two winners in Missouri matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000.  Those tickets were purchased at the following locations:

• Temp Stop on NE Douglas in Lee's Summit

• Country Mart on Hwy 13 in Branson

A player from St. Louis matched all six numbers in Lotto to win the jackpot.  Someone who buys tickets at Shop 'n Save on Lemay Ferry is $1.1 million richer today.  This is the 189th Missouri Lotto jackpot winner.   

And a Club Keno player had a big night in Washington.  A ticket worth more than $12,000 was sold at Town 'N Country Lanes in Washington.  Congratulations to all the winners.

The winners keep coming

We just told you about a big Show Me Cash winner from last weekend and now we have another one.  Someone who buys tickets at 7-Eleven on N. 17th St. in St. Louis is holding a ticket worth $60,000.  That's the 29th jackpot winner since the game began last September.  I think the word is out - Show Me Cash is generating a lot of big winners.
Speaking of winners, there are a couple of big Club Keno winners to tell you about.  People must have been taking advantage of the special promotion we ran last weekend.  A ticket worth more than $16,000 was sold at Ballards in Florissant, and another worth more than $5,500 was sold at Miss Vicky's Place in Carthage. 
And don't forget, tonight's Powerball jackpot is an estimated $143 million! 

Where it’s at

If you buy Show Me Cash tickets in Moberly, you might want to check them.  One ticket sold at Moberly Mart, 1400 N. Morley St., for Saturday night’s drawing matched all five numbers drawn.  That ticket holder will win the $91,481 jackpot. 

Don’t look now but the Powerball jackpot is on its way up!  The jackpot for Wednesday night is an estimated $143 million.  Get in on the action today!

$100,000 Payday

Looking for a big pay day?  Try the newest $5 game from the Missouri Lottery, "$100,000 Payday."  The $5 games are popular with players who don't like to spend too much money on Scratchers tickets, but like games that offer a little larger top prize.  If that makes sense to you, then "$100,000 Payday " is your kind of game.  Win up to 20 times on a single ticket.  Five lucky players will win the top prize of $100,000, and thousands more will split nearly $10 million in other prizes.  Even the second prize is attractive at $20,000.  And if you don't win instantly, there's still a chance for you to win big. 
Just two non-winning "$100,000 Payday" tickets will gain you entry into the summer promotion, "Get Cruisin.'"  Four drawings between March 28 and July 1 will feature prizes like a backyard renovation, new vehicles, 10 years of cruises, ATVs, Jet Skis® and cash.  Look for "$100,000 Payday" at your favorite Missouri Lottery retailer.
