A Missouri Lottery player’s decision to purchase a “Big Money” Scratchers ticket when he stopped for gas at 76 Express, 3305 W. Highway 76 in Branson, led him to uncover one of the game’s top prizes of $100,000.
“I was so surprised I won!” the winner exclaimed.
He shared he is currently a renter, but he plans to use his winning to help purchase his first home.
“Big Money” Scratchers players have won over $7.9 million in prizes since the $5 ticket was released in June. Over $6.3 million in unclaimed prizes remain, including three additional $100,000 prizes.
In FY24, players in Taney County won more than $11.9 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $1 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $3.8 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
