Jackpots are growing

There were no big winners in last night's drawings.  The good news is that all the jackpots are now bigger for Saturday's drawing.  Lotto is an estimated $2.7 million, and Powerball is an estimated $120 million!  Don't forget Show Me Cash.  Tonight's jackpot is an estimated $70,000.  Pick up your ticket to Luckytown at any Missouri Lottery retail location.

Viva Show Me Cash!

Another promotion begins soon and features Show Me Cash.  From August 3 - 30, a $1 Show Me Cash single ticket purchase for the current draw will result in one of two outcomes - you'll either win $10 instantly, or you'll receive an entry voucher for the "Vacation in Vegas" promotion.  Hold on to your vouchers in the event that your number is selected during one of four drawings.  For each drawing, we'll award five trips to Las Vegas.  Each trip includes airfare for two, four days and three nights of premium hotel accommodations, car rental and $1,000 spending cash. 
Are you ready for a "Vacation in Vegas?"  It all starts with a Show Me Cash ticket. 

Where it's at

No one hit the Powerball jackpot this weekend, but two players in other states won $1 million by adding Power Play.  One Missourian matched all five white-ball numbers to win $200,000.  The winning ticket was sold at Wall Street "66" in Wentzville.  
Another player matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000.  That ticket was purchased at Schnucks in Oakville Shopping Center in St. Louis. 
There was a Show Me Cash jackpot sold on Saturday.  A player who buys tickets at Go Mart on Truman Road in Kansas City will collect more than $84,000.  That's the 49th jackpot awarded in this game since it began less than one year ago. 
Get your playslips ready - the Powerball jackpot is an estimated $102 million!

State Fair

It's not too early to start thinking about the Missouri State Fair.  The fair runs from Aug. 13 through the 23rd, and the Missouri Lottery will be on location each weekend offering tickets for sale and some great promotions.  For more information, visit the fair Web site and be watching here for more details about the promotions we'll be offering for fair attendees.  It's just a few weeks away, and it should be more fun than ever.  Are you going this year?  What do you want to see the most? 

Where it's at

There were a couple of big winners last night.  One player matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000.  The winning ticket was sold at Hampton Oil in St. Louis.
There was also a big Club Keno winner.  A player who buys tickets at One Eyed Jacks in Belton won nearly $14,000. 
The Powerball jackpot continues to climb.  No one hit the jackpot last night, but two players in other states did match all five white-ball numbers and added Power Play to win $1 million.  Even though the Power Play number was two, simply adding Power Play for $1 will increase your winnings to $1 million for the match five prize. 
The Powerball jackpot for July 25 is now an estimated $88 million!  Good luck. 

Show me the cash!

We had another big Show Me Cash winner the other day.  A ticket sold at Marsh's Sun Fresh on Mill Street in Kansas City matched all five numbers to become the 48th jackpot winner.  The lucky player holding the winning ticket is now $148,260 richer.  The Show Me Cash jackpot for tonight is an estimated $55,000. 
We've also had several large Club Keno winners of late.  If you play Keno at the following locations, check your tickets. 

• DB Cooper's in Kansas City - July 15 for $7,044
• Butchers Inn in Raymore - July 18 for $7,190
• Elks Lodge in Springfield - July 20 for $6,085

Where it's at

We had several Powerball winners over the weekend.  If you buy Powerball tickets at Murphy USA, 610 N.E. Coronado Drive, Blue Springs, or QuikTrip, 11444 St. Charles Rock Road, Bridgeton, check your tickets.  You could be $200,000 richer.  Both locations sold tickets that matched numbers on the five white balls.

Two $10,000 Powerball winning tickets were sold at Fill Up Guys, 4510 S. 169 Highway, St. Joseph, and U-Gas Hanley, 3033 S. Hanley in Maplewood.  If you're holding a winning ticket, remember to sign the back of the ticket and take it to the nearest Missouri Lottery office to claim your prize.

Congratulations!!
