The jackpots escaped the holiday weekend and continue to grow. But Missourians playing Club Keno during the football bonanza walked away with some large prizes. Check out these Club Keno wins that happened during the Thanksgiving break:
There was also a player who matched four white-ball numbers and the Megaball® in Friday's Mega Millions drawing. A ticket sold at Abel's Quik Shop in Wright City is eligible for the $10,000 prize.
The jackpots are looking impressive. Wednesday's Powerball drawing is $95 million, and tonight's Show Me Cash drawing features the third largest jackpot ever offered in the game. Pick up a ticket for the estimated $498,000 Show Me Cash jackpot.
The big ticket in the holiday-themed line up of Missouri Lottery Scratchers games is the $10 game, “Season’s Greetings.” Win up to 20 times and $250,000 on a single ticket. With the To:/From: line at the top of the ticket, “Season’s Greetings” makes a great gift. There are three top prizes of $250,000 in the game.
Even if you don’t win instantly, players can enter “Season’s Greetings” into the “Hi-Tech Holiday” second-chance promotion. Just one ticket will comprise an entry, and you could win second-chance prizes of $300 worth of Scratchers tickets, $1,000 cash or the grand prize - $15,000 to use for high-tech electronics on your holiday wish list. We’ll award three grand prizes in every drawing.
The next entry deadline for the “Hi-Tech Holiday” promotion is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 7. Click here for more details.
State offices, including the Missouri Lottery, will be closed Thursday in observance of the holiday. We will be open for business as usual on Friday. Thanks for reading, and have a happy Thanksgiving!
There were some winners we didn't talk about last weekend. No one won a jackpot, but a player from New Mexico did win $1 million with Power Play. In Missouri, two players matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000. The winning tickets were sold at the following locations:
The jackpots for tonight are impressive. Lotto is $2.3 million, and the Show Me Cash jackpot is estimated at $312,000! Play Powerball for the $64 million jackpot, and don't forget to add Power Play.
Last night was good for lots of players. Twenty players won $250 playing Show Me Cash, and 14 won $771 playing Lotto. A player in Arizona won $1 million with Power Play. The biggest winner in Missouri was a Club Keno player. A 7-spot ticket sold at Cafe Affton Sports Grill and Pub in St. Louis won more than $11,000.
The jackpots are all creeping up, including an impressive $156,000 Show Me Cash jackpot tonight.

Did you have the advantage of an A+ Scholarship? The Lottery would like to hear from you. A portion of Missouri Lottery proceeds are used to fund the A+ Scholarship program. In exchange for community service, such as mentoring, high school students can earn eligibility for scholarships to state community colleges, enabling participants to get a low-cost two year degree. Many students then go on to the work force, and others have the opportunity to transfer to four year institutions to continue their education.
We're proud of our contribution to education in Missouri, and we have an additional way to help A+ Scholarship students. If you're willing to share your story about what the A+ Scholarship program has meant to you, we'll enter you into a drawing to win "Tools 4 School." We'll award cash prizes of $2,500, $1,000 and $400 for computers, books and expenses. Get all the details here.
Help us promote the benefits of the A+ Scholarship program and earn a chance to win "Tools 4 School." Study hard.
