A Missouri Lottery player won $82,000 in the Oct. 8 Show Me Cash drawing on a Quick Pick ticket he purchased at Gerbes, 2805 W. Truman Blvd., in Jefferson City.
“I called the (Lottery) phone number to check the winning numbers, and she said ‘3’ – I had 3, then she said ‘16,’ and I had 16 .. My ticket matched all five numbers!” the winner said.
“I couldn’t believe it! I had to call the phone number again to make sure,” he added. “She said the same five numbers – 3, 16, 17, 19 and 25. I really won!”
Show Me Cash is drawn daily at 8:59 p.m., with jackpots that start at $50,000 and grow until won. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at $50,000.
