A Missouri Lottery player was making a casual stop at Phillips 66, 5300 Caroline Drive in High Ridge, when the $5 “Electric Cash” Scratchers ticket caught his eye. That ticket would end up changing his day dramatically.
He took the ticket home and began to scratch it off, only to realize it contained one of the game’s $100,000 top prizes.
“I couldn’t believe it at first,” he said. “It still really hasn’t sunk in yet.”
He added he doesn’t have any plans for the money yet – apart from enjoying the feeling.
“I’m just going to sit back and take it in,” he shared.
“Electric Cash” players have won more than $4 million in prizes as far. Over $12.7 million remain in unclaimed prizes, including three additional top prizes of $100,000.
In FY24, players in Jefferson County won more than $40.6 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $3.9 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $2.7 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
