Taste of St. Louis!

The Missouri Lottery is a sponsor of the Taste of St. Louis this weekend.  We'll be selling tickets and awarding prizes all three days of the event.  To spice up your experience a little, we'll be offering players a chance to win an exclusive prize.  Here's how to win. 

I, Captain Lotto, will send a tweet sometime during the event on Friday and Saturday alerting you how to win the prize.  You'll be asked to send a text to a specific number to receive a code.  Show that code at our Lottery booth within the half-hour, and you'll get a special prize.  The promotion is limited to 25 winners each day, so you'll have to be on the ball. 

If you're not following Captain Lotto, do so now, and then get ready to win. See you in St. Louis!

Oh yeah - Mega Millions - that other big jackpot game.  No one hit the jackpot last night, but a player in another state did win $750,000 by selecting the Megaplier®.  One player in Missouri matched four white-ball numbers and the Megaball® to win $10,000.  The winning ticket was sold at Bullseye in Calhoun.  The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday is now $32 million.

Club Keno

So you've seen Club Keno on the monitor at your favorite hangout, and you've wondered about the game.  It looks complicated, and maybe you didn't have time to figure out how to play.  Well, here's your chance to learn about the game.  Producer Frank Finley explains all the different ways to play and win Club Keno - which is the same as Keno To Go, by the way. 

 

Keno To Go!

Someone had a big day yesterday.  A player who buys Keno tickets at Reeves Boomland in Charleston won $25,000.  This is a unique store location in Southeast Missouri that sells gas, snacks and fireworks.  They even have hand-dipped ice cream!  It is not a traditional Club Keno location - but like all Missouri Lottery retailers now, they do sell Keno To Go. 

As if the store wasn't exciting enough, they now can boast of selling a big winning ticket.  Don't be left out - try Keno To Go today.

Well, both big jackpot games and Show Me Cash got hit over the weekend, but Lotto continues to grow.  A ticket sold in New York won the $54 million Mega Millions jackpot Friday night, and three players in other states managed to win $750,000 by selecting the Megaplier®.  The winning Powerball ticket was sold in Georgia and that winner will collect the $116 million jackpot, but likewise, a player in another state managed to win $1 million with Power Play. 

In Missouri, there was one ticket sold matching all five white-ball numbers to win $200,000 in Saturday's Powerball drawing.  If you shop at Dirt Cheap Cigarettes & Beer on Hampton Ave. in St. Louis, check your tickets closely. 

There was also another Show Me Cash jackpot winner.  The $60,000 jackpot will go to a player who buys tickets at Break Time on South Washington in Chillicothe.  This is the 112th winning jackpot sold in the game since Show Me Cash began two years ago. 

You'll want to play our state games this week.  The Lotto jackpot has grown to a respectable $4.3 million, and you will earn a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas with every $1 Show Me Cash single-ticket purchase for the current draw.  Both of these games are only available in Missouri and feature great odds.
