And the winner is...

Someone in South Dakota hit Powerball last night.  There was one ticket sold matching all of the Powerball numbers for the $232 million jackpot.  It's a happy day for somebody.
Four players in Missouri matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000, and are probably feeling happy, too.  The winning tickets were sold at the following locations: 

• 7-Eleven, 2425 Big Bend in St. Louis
• Harter House in Kimberling City
• Shop-N-Gas on Old Halls Ferry in St. Louis
• Steve's Gas & Liquor in Pilot Knob

The Powerball jackpot resets to $20 million.  That would be plenty for you, no? 

Show Me Cash Strikes!

We produced yet another Show Me Cash jackpot winner.  That's the 38th in this game.  Someone who buys tickets at Casey's in Anderson is holding a ticket worth more than $155,000! 

Summerfest

The Missouri Lottery is sponsoring Summerfest in Columbia.  The second show is tonight and features Ben Folds.  If you attend tonight's show, check out the best seats in the house - the four large recliners by the stage, which happen to the only seats in the house.  You could be in those seats for any of the next four Summerfest shows, courtesy of the Missouri Lottery.  Visit the Web pages of BXR and KRCG, or connectmidmissouri.com, to register to win.  If you don't have access to the Internet, you can also register in person at Slumberland Furniture in Columbia.  Of course, don't sign up unless yo plan on going. 
It's just one of the many ways the Missouri Lottery is improving  your summer. 

Where it's at

Some Missourians had luck in Powerball over the weekend, but the jackpot continues to roll.  A player who buys tickets at Mobil on the Run on Clarkson in Chesterfield matched five white-ball numbers to win $200,000.  If they had chosen Power Play, that would have been a $1 million prize. 
Two players matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000.  The Power Play number was five, so if they had selected Power Play, they would have won $50,000.  They winning tickets were sold at the following locations: 

• Abel's Quik Shop in Mexico
• Shamrock Food Mart in Smithville

A Club Keno player at Cafe Affton Sports Grill and Pub won nearly $8,000. 
So where will the next big winner come from?  The jackpots are staggering.  Tonight's Show Me Cash jackpot is an estimated $137,000.  And Powerball for Wednesday is an estimated $222 million!  Dream lately? 

Happy Memorial Day

Today we honor the sacrifice and service of all those who have served in the military.  Thank you.
Lottery offices will be closed in observance of the holiday, but Lottery tickets are always available at thousands of retail locations across the state. 

Star Spangled Doubler

As we begin the summer holiday season, here's a new Scratchers ticket that's perfect for the occasion.  Check out the $2 game "Star Spangled Doubler."  You could win up to $20,000 on a single ticket.  Match any of your numbers to either winning number and win the prize for that number.  Reveal a "firecracker" symbol and win that prize automatically.  Reveal an "American flag" symbol and win double that prize. 
"Star Spangled Doubler" is on sale now at thousands of Missouri Lottery retail locations across the state.  Good luck.

Where it's at

We had some big winners in Powerball last night, but the jackpot continues to grow.  One player matched five white-ball numbers to win $200,000.  That ticket was sold at Schnucks, 10070 Gravois Rd. in St. Louis. 
Three other players matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000.  Those winning tickets were sold at the following locations: 

• 22 Drive Thru in Centralia
• Murphy USA in Excelsior Springs
• Holden Fast Stop

There was no jackpot winner, but one player from North Carolina matched five white-ball numbers and the Powerball and selected Power Play.  The Power Play number was 2, but because of the match five Power Play feature, they automatically won $1 million. 
The Powerball jackpot for May 23 is an estimated $192 million!  Get your tickets early. 

Weekend of winners!

What a weekend for Missouri Lottery players.  We had a player match all six numbers in Lotto Saturday night to win $2 million.  The winning ticket was sold at City Pharmacy in Slater. 

Two players matched all five numbers in Show Me Cash on different nights.  The first ticket is worth more than $77,000, and the second is worth $50,000.  The winning tickets were sold at the following locations:

• Philips Fuel Mart on Market St in Lee's Summit
• Huck's Food Store on Kingshighway in Cape Girardeau

Finally, one player matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000.  That ticket was sold at QuikTrip on Lilac in St. Louis.

No one hit the big one, so the Powerball jackpot has grown to $170 million for Wednesday night.  Good luck!
