New poll

We've added a new poll along the sidebar.  One of the hot topics in the Lottery industry is online gaming.  Traditionally, we call Numbers games like Pick and Lotto "online" games.  With the rapid expansion of the Internet, "online" has also become associated with playing games on the Web.  Throw in mobile devices and you have a changing digital landscape.  We'd like to know - how do you want to play Lottery games?  Would you like the Lottery to feature a game room that you can play at home or on your phone?  Here's your chance to make some predictions on how you'll use media in the future.  Sound off in the comments below. 

Where it's at

There are some big winners to report.  Someone who plays Club Keno at the Eagles in Shell Knob won nearly $6,000 this week. 

Last night, a player who buys tickets at Casey's in Oak Grove became the 193rd Lotto jackpot winner.  One ticket matched all six numbers to win the $2 million jackpot. 

There was also one ticket matching five white-ball numbers in Powerball to win $200,000.  That ticket was purchased at Rapid Roberts in Kimberling City. Congratulations to the winners. 

Tools for School

Did you know that 86 percent of the funding for Missouri's A+ Scholarship program comes from Missouri Lottery proceeds?  We are proud of this connection, and we are looking for students to share their story about what the A+ scholarship has meant to them. 

Missouri students who have participated in the A+ Scholarship program can register to win "Tools 4 School."  If you use or have used A+ monies to attend a community college or technical school, submit an essay and photo by Nov. 30 to be eligible for a drawing.  From all qualified entries, we'll award one winner $1,000 to buy a new laptop and three winners $400 to buy an iPod® Touch.  Check the official rules for more details. 

The "Tools 4 School" promotion is intended to celebrate the success of the A+ Scholarship program and reward students for their hard work.  Thanks to you, we're making life a little richer for all Missourians.
