Mar. 21, 2025

A stop at QuikTrip, 3211 Clark Lane in Columbia, turned into a $100,000 win when a Missouri Lottery player purchased a “$2,000,000 Extreme Cash” Scratchers ticket.

“I was there and I just bought that one,” the winner said. “It was just a random purchase.”

He scratched his ticket off while he was still in the store, and he was shocked to find out he had won one of the game’s $100,000 prizes.   

“We were so excited! We were jumping up and down in the store!” he added.

So far, “$2,000,000 Extreme Cash” players have won over $34.7 million in prizes. There are currently over $15.9 million in unclaimed prizes, including one more $100,000 prize and one top prize of $2 million.

Players who purchased tickets in Boone County in FY24 won more than $23.9 million in total Missouri Lottery prizes. Retailers received more than $2.4 million in commissions and bonuses, and education programs in the county received more than $53.2 million in appropriated Lottery proceeds.
