On a trip to Autobahn, 7538 N.W. Prairie View Road in Platte Woods, a Missouri Lottery player picked up a “Millionaire Blowout” ticket that contained one of the games $50,000 prizes.

“I scratched it out in the car,” the winner said. “And, after I saw I won something, I went inside.”

At the counter, he asked one of the workers to scan the ticket, not knowing exactly how much he had won.

“I just assumed it was $10,000,” he said. “But it was 50! And I thought ‘Oh! Great!’”
