Taste of St. Louis

Buy $10 worth of tickets and you'll get a free MO Lottery T-shirt.
The Lottery isn't the only attraction this weekend. There will be lots of food vendors, demonstrations and celebrity chefs! Enjoy art, wine tastings and live music. Best of all, admission is free. Visit here to learn more about the event. We'll meet you in St. Louis this weekend!
Roots 'n Blues 'n BBQ
Join the Missouri Lottery in Columbia this weekend for the Roots 'n Blues 'n BBQ festival. It begins tonight at 5:30 with music on the MO Lottery stage in Peace Park. You can enjoy music from bands like Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives, the Del McCoury Band and the Believers. Saturday's lineup includes Same Bush, John Mayall, Columbia native Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-fonics, the Mojo Roots, Music Maker Blues Revue, and the MO Lottery King of the Roots winner.
In addition to tons of live music, there's also lots of delicious BBQ. The Missouri Lottery will have our selling trailer on the festival gounds. Pick up a ticket for tonight's $234,000 Show Me Cash jackpot or the $174 million Powerball jackpot. Buy $10 worth of tickets on site and you'll get a free MO Lottery T-shirt. We'll be conducting promotions near the main stage for a chance to win Scratchers tickets, and you can enter non-winning tickets purchased on site into a second-chance promotion for even more Scratchers. (Or you can also save those non-winning tickets for points.)
It's going to be a great weekend for getting in touch with your roots. The weather will be fantastic, so come on out and enjoy the music, food and entertainment at the Roots 'n Blues 'n BBQ festival.

But wait – there’s more. Buy $10 worth of tickets on-site
and you’ll get a free limited-edition T-shirt designed for this event. You can also enter
non-winning tickets purchased at our trailer into a second-chance drawing. We’ll
draw one winner on Saturday evening at 5:30 p.m. to win a ride for two on the
