All of the jackpots rolled last night, but there were several big winners. Seven players in other states won a $1 million Match 5 prize in Powerball, and two more used Power Play to turn that prize into $2 million. In Missouri, one player matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000. The winning ticket was sold at Circle K, 100 Old Town Dr., in Eureka. Saturday’s Powerball jackpot is $90 million.

The $180 million Mega Millions jackpot was won by a player in California. A player in Pennsylvania won a $1 million Match 5 prize. Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot resets to $15 million. The Powerball jackpot grew to $80 million for Wednesday. One player in another state also won a $1 million Match 5 prize in Powerball, and a player in Colorado used Power Play to turn that prize into $2 million. In Missouri, one player matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000. That winning ticket was sold at Energy Express, 18423 Olive St., in Chesterfield.
One player matched all five winning Show Me Cash numbers Friday to win the $254,000 jackpot. The winning ticket was sold at Gateway Newstand, 1820 Market St., in St. Louis. Tonight’s Show Me Cash jackpot has already rebounded to $79,000.
There were other big winners last weekend. Pick 3 players got a lucky combo Saturday night. The winning numbers came out in order: 7-8-9. Lots of players got a nice straight/box payout of $350, adding up to a payout of more than $106,000.
Pick 4 players also got lucky Saturday night. I don’t think 1961 was as good a year as 1964, but it paid about as well. The Lottery paid more than $174,000 in prizes on the winning combo 1-9-6-1.
And don’t forget Club Keno. With lots of sports on TV right now, it’s a great time for Club Keno. Someone got into the action Sunday, winning $8,000 on two different tickets sold at Riley’s Pub in Lexington. The player, or players, hit eight out of nine spots on 9-spot tickets with Bulls-Eye.
Lots of games to watch this week. Got your ticket?
Zilch is the opposite of what we paid in prizes on quadruple zeros in Thursday’s Pick 4 midday drawing. There were hundreds of players betting on all zeros for the winning combo, and they were rewarded with a $1.3 million payout. That rivals a jackpot game, but the prizes are split into $6,000 portions. Of course, some players might have more than one ticket.
We’ve got jackpots, too. Tonight’s Show Me Cash jackpot is $254,000, and the Mega Millions jackpot is $180 million. Remember, you can win $1 million for second place playing Mega Millions. Add Megaplier, and all non-jackpot prizes are multiplied by the Megaplier number. The last Megaplier number was four, which would turn that Match 5 prize in to $4 million!
What is your lucky number?
All the jackpots rolled last night, so the Show Me Cash jackpot for tonight is worth $227,000, the Lotto jackpot for Saturday is up to $2.6 million and Powerball stands at $70 million. One player in Louisiana matched five white ball numbers in Powerball to win $1 million.
Pick 3 players cashed in during the midday drawing yesterday when triple twos were drawn. There were 1,165 winners who won a total of $346,530. Congrats!
