A Missouri Lottery player got a big surprise when he purchased a “24K Gold” Scratchers ticket and uncovered the first of the games’ four $100,000 prizes.
The winning ticket was purchased at Dierbergs, 6211 Mid Rivers Mall Drive, in St. Peters.
The winner summed up his excitement in a few simple words.
“We’re very happy to have it.”
