A Missouri Lottery player is celebrating after learning his long-time, handpicked numbers matched all five winning numbers – 6, 20, 26, 34 and 35 – in the Oct. 1 Show Me Cash drawing.
“I’ve been playing these numbers for a while. They are just numbers I picked and always play,” the winner explained. “I was in total shock. I wasn’t sure it was real!”
He said he told his wife as soon as he realized the ticket he purchased at Troy BP, 205 N. Lincoln Drive in Troy, really was a jackpot winning ticket.
“I think she may have been more excited than I was!” he chuckled.
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 $55,000.
In FY24, players in Lincoln County won more than $8.8 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $900,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $1.3 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
