There are two entry deadlines tomorrow for Missouri Lottery players interested in second-chance promotions. If you have non-winning “Missouri Lottery’s Silver Anniversary” tickets, enter them online by 5 p.m. to be eligible for the fifth monthly drawing. We’ll draw 25 winners of $1,000 later this week, and all 25 will advance to the grand-prize drawing for $1 million.
The other deadline is the first in the “Muscle Car Mania” second-chance promotion. Enter non-winning “American Muscle” Scratchers tickets through your My Lottery account by 5 p.m. on June 14, or drop them off at one of the regional Lottery offices. Tickets that have been mailed and are not delivered by the deadline will be held for the next drawing. In each of three “Muscle Car Mania” drawings this summer, we’ll award a grand prize of one of the muscle cars featured on the ticket, 15 prizes of a year’s worth of gasoline and 35 winners of $500 for a vehicle makeover.
Again, the entry deadline for both of these promotions is 5 p.m., June 14.
Lots of people won money playing the Missouri Lottery last weekend, but only one player managed to win a big jackpot. The Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots both rolled, but there was one winning ticket sold for Saturday's $106,000 Show Me Cash jackpot. A player who buys tickets at Dierbergs, 1322 Clarkson Clayton Court in Ellisville, has become the 145th jackpot winner in the game.
Tonight's Show Me Cash jackpot is $63,000. Which of you will be the next winner?
The Missouri Lottery is making a trek down Route 66 next week to give away prizes and award deals in support of our new ticket, “American Muscle.” We’ll be stopping at a number of retail locations along the historic route, offering gas discounts and prizes, plus giving you a chance to show off your muscle car. Cruise into the parking lot at any of our stops and take a photo for entry in the American Muscle Photo Contest. Follow Captain Lotto on Twitter for the latest location updates and for special details about how to win an official tour shirt.
You can win one of four hot muscle cars on the “American Muscle” Scratchers ticket and in the “Muscle Car Mania” second-chance promotion. Players can choose between a Mustang, Camaro, Challenger or Charger, or take the cash equivalent. We’ll even pay the taxes, making it easier to put the car of your dreams in your garage. And there’s more. Win up to $75,000 instantly on the ticket or a year’s worth of gas in the promotion. Visit the promotion page for more details.
Summer really gets rolling next week, when the American Muscle Tour visits your town. Keep your eyes and ears open for the fun near you. Over and out.
Club Keno is a great game to entertain you on a night out at your favorite haunt. But you can win big money playing Keno anytime with Keno To Go. One player cashed in yesterday. A winning 8-Spot Keno To Go ticket was sold at Kum & Go, 620 National Ave., in Springfield. The player holding the ticket will have to make their way to a Lottery office to claim the $24,370 prize.
In case you're wondering, the player matched eight spots to win a $10,000 base prize, and the remainder is the progressive jackpot prize automatically added to 6-, 7- and 8-Spot tickets. Want to try your hand at Club Keno? Just ask for a Keno To Go ticket anywhere Missouri Lottery products are sold.
While temperatures on thermometers are heating up, the “luck-o-meter” at the Missouri Lottery is also rising, as there have been two big winners so far this week.
One lucky player matched all five numbers drawn in the Show Me Cash drawing last night. If you buy your tickets at St. Andrews Mini Mart in St. Charles, be sure to check your numbers. You may be holding a Show Me Cash ticket worth $209,000.
Additionally, a Club Keno player in Republic took home $5,365 on Monday. The winner bought the winning ticket at Price Cutter, 1013 E. Highway 17, in Republic.
It’s time to pick up a Lotto ticket for tonight’s drawing. The jackpot is up to $1.4 million. Good luck!

You can win up to $75,000 instantly, or a $500 Bass Pro Shops® gift card playing this ticket. Through the second-chance promotion, you can win a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

You can’t win if you don’t play. Enter the “Ultimate Outdoor Adventure” promotion by 5 p.m. on June 7.
There was another big Club Keno winner last night. A ticket sold at First & Last Chance Tavern in St. Joseph matched 9-Spots on a 10-Spot ticket, resulting in a $5,000 prize for the player. There's a good chance that win inspired a round for the house.
Your last chance to play Club Keno comes at 1:50 a.m. Since your favorite bar will already be closed by then, don't forget you can buy Keno To Go tickets anywhere Missouri Lottery products are sold.
A winning Powerball jackpot ticket was sold in New York. Players in Connecticut and North Carolina won $1 million with Power Play. Saturday's jackpot resets to $20 million, which still sounds good to me.
Friday's Mega Millions jackpot is $15 million, and Saturday's Lotto jackpot is $1.3 million. Wouldn't winning one of those jackpots make for a fun year?
And don't forget Show Me Cash. Tonight's jackpot is $94,000!
We all get excited at the idea of $100 million, but there are lots of different ways to win life-changing money from the Missouri Lottery. Try out a different dream for $1.
