A Missouri Lottery player was at Hy-Vee, 3100 W. Broadway in Columbia, when she decided to purchase a “Millionaire Blowout” Scratchers ticket.
“I’ve played it a couple of times before,” the winner said.
After taking it home and scratching it off, she was shocked to discover it contained one of the game’s $50,000 prizes.
“I told my kids, and they thought it was a prank!” she shared.
“Millionaire Blowout” is a $50 game that offers prizes up to $5 million. Players have won over $176.5 million prizes playing the game so far, with over $171 million remaining in unclaimed prizes, including two top prizes of $5 million, nine $1 million prizes and 27 more $50,000 prizes.
In FY22, players in Boone County won more than $31 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $2.3 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $50.1 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
