Where it's at

The big jackpots rolled, but Missouri had winners in just about every game last weekend. There was a Show Me Cash jackpot awarded and a Lotto winner. There were a couple of big Club Keno winners, and even Pick 3 and Pick 4 players got in the mix.

First, Mega Millions got things going Friday night. The jackpot grew to win $92 million, but one player in Missouri did match five white-ball numbers to win $250,000. That winning ticket was sold at Pick-A-Dilly on McMasters in Hannibal.

There were lots of winners on Saturday. A winning Lotto ticket was sold at QuikTrip, 2105 N. Highway 67, in Florissant. Interestingly, this is the second winning Lotto jackpot ticket sold at this locaion in the last year. A Florissant couple claimed a $1.2 million Lotto prize from this location last August. Have they won again, or does someone new have claim on this $2.7 million prize?

Show Me Cash turned in another big winner. There was one winning ticket for Saturday's $232,000 jackpot. Some lucky player who shops at Veterans Currency Exchange in St. Louis is the 250th Show Me Cash jackpot winner. Tonight's Show Me Cash jackpot is $63,000.

The Powerball jackpot grew to $116 million, but one player in Missouri did win $10,000 for matching four white-ball numbers and the Powerball. The winning ticket was sold at Abel's Quik Shop in New Florence.

Two players had good weekends playing Club Keno. The first winning ticket purchased Saturday was at a Keno To Go location. A player matched seven out of seven spots at 7-Eleven, 8920 St. Charles Rock Road in Charlack, to win $8,754. Another player at Weber's Front Row in Arnold hit eight out of eight spots with Bulls-Eye to win $55,071 Sunday.

And other daily games players got in on the action. Pick 4 players scooped up $80,000 in prizes on 7-1-3-4 Friday night. Pick 3 players cashed in all weekend. It started Thursday night with another big win for players in the 4-1-7. They won more than $99,000 when that area code dropped in the evening draw. They struck again on 4-0-0 at midday on 4/20, winning more than $84,000 in prizes and again at midday Sunday with 7-1-8. Pick 3 players won more than $107,000 on that combo.

Whew! That's a lot of winning, and guess what? The jackpots are growing again. What are you playing today?

Where it's at

Last night, it was Power Play. All of the jackpots rolled, although several players won big playing Powerball. One player in Rhode Island won $1 million for matching five white-ball numbers, while TWO players used Power Play to turn that prize into $2 million. Winning tickets were sold in Ohio and Virginia.

In Missouri, two players matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000, and one of those players used Power Play to turn the prize into $40,000. Winning tickets were sold in the following locations:

• $10,000 - Shop 'n Save, Old Halls Ferry Road in Ferguson
• $40,000 - American Legion in Warsaw

Do you add Power Play to your Powerball tickets? Saturday's jackpot is up to $95 million.

Mega Millions!

All of the jackpots rolled last night, but one player in Missouri did win $10,000 for matching four white-ball numbers and the Mega Ball in Mega MIllions. The winning ticket was sold at Casey's General Store in Monett.

In all, there were 28 players who won $10,000 last night, five who won $250,000 and one who won $1 million with Megaplier. Yet, the Mega Millions jackpot grew to $83 million for Friday.

All of the jackpots are growing. Tonight's Show Me Cash jackpot is $152,000, the Lotto jackpot is $2.6 million and the Powerball jackpot is $80 million. Got  your ticket?

Mega Millions!

All of the jackpots rolled last weekend, but Mega Millions did produce a millionaire in Missouri. Eight players matched all five white-ball numbers to win $250,000, and two players used Megaplier to turn that win into $1 million. One of those winning tickets was sold in Missouri at Circle K, 9931 Watson Road, in St. Louis.

Another player matched four white-ball numbers and the Mega Ball to win $10,000. That winning ticket was sold at the Owensville MotoMart. And still, the jackpot grows. Tuesday's jackpot is $74 million.

Daily games players are still winning big. Pick 3 players won more than $75,000 in prizes on 4-5-7 Friday night, and Pick 4 players followed that up with a $100,000 payday on 2-2-8-8 Saturday night. Combinations featuring double numbers always results in big payouts.

The jackpots are still growing. Stay in the game tonight - there's a $108,000 Show Me Cash jackpot on the line.

Show Me Cash!

Somebody won Show Me Cash last night! A winning jackpot ticket was sold at Wild Bill's Travel Center in Ridgedale. Yahoo! (Sorry, just felt like Wild Bill would give us a whoop!) No doubt the lucky winner will be celebrating after learning about the $181,000 prize.

Tonight's jackpot resets to $50,000. Also on tap tonight is Mega Millions - the jackpot is up to $66 million, just $1 per play.

Daily games!

Pick 3 and Pick 4 players are still on a winning streak. Players of both games cashed in at midday when combinations of ones came raining down. Pick 4 players scooped up more than $67,000 in prizes when 1-3-1-2 dropped, and Pick 3 players broke the bank on 1-1-4. The payout for that winning combination was $168,000! The majority were box plays (expecting 4-1-1, I expect), although about half also hit it straight. Oddly, if you were playing dates, 1-3-1-2 might have been better on Friday.

What will you try tonight?

Growing jackpots

All of the jackpots rolled last night. One player in Indiana won $1 million by matching five white-ball numbers in Powerball. There were 26 players who won $250 playing Show Me Cash, and another 21 who won $486 playing Lotto.

The Show Me Cash jackpot grew to $181,000 for tonight, and the Lotto jackpot grew to $2.5 million for Saturday. Friday's Mega Millions jackpot is $66 million, and the Powerball jackpot is $70 million. Play It Forward.

Mega Millions!

The jackpots are still rolling, but one player in Missouri had a big win last night. A ticket sold in Waynesville matched four white-ball numbers and the Mega Ball to win $10,000. If you shop at Smitty's 56 in Waynesville, check your tickets closely.

The games continue on play day. Tonight's Show Me Cash jackpot rolls to $154,000, the Lotto jackpot is $2.4 million and the Powerball jackpot is $60 million. Got  your ticket?

Oh, thank heaven!

Show Me Cash rolled last night, but Pick 3 players picked up the slack. One of those popular combinations dropped last in 7-1-1. More than a thousand players cashed in more than $279,000 in prizes.

No word yet if the majority were sold at 7-Eleven. What are you playing today?

UPDATE: Changed it up a little at midday, but Pick 3 players still won more than $54,000 on 6-1-6.

Pick 4

I suppose we shouldn't chide Pick 4 players about a near miss. I mentioned this morning that it looks like they missed one last Saturday. They did NOT miss today's winning midday Pick 4 combination. The Lottery paid more than $193,000 in prizes on 4-1-4-1.

These were mostly box plays, so apparently many of you were playing 1-1-4-4 or some other variation. Still, more than 100 players picked up $500 on the combo. What are you playing tonight?

Oh yeah - Pick 3 players got some, too. The Lottery paid more than $53,000 in prizes on 7-8-5.
