$100,000 Scratchers Winner's Dream Comes True in Jefferson City

Nov 30, 2022

The winner of a $100,000 Missouri Lottery Scratchers prize had a dream she would win big before it happened.

“I dreamt about this win. I told my husband my hands were itching,” she recalled. 

She purchased a “$100,000 Taxes Paid” ticket at Eagle Liquor & C-Store, 1408 Missouri Blvd. in Jefferson City, and uncovered one of the game’s top prizes.

When asked how she felt after discovering her win, she shared, "The first night I couldn't even sleep!"

She plans to take her husband to a ballgame with some of the winnings.

Since the $5 “$100,000 Taxes Paid” game became available in July, players have won more than $9.2 million in prizes in the game, with more than $3.3 million currently unclaimed, including two other top prizes of $100,000, taxes paid.

In FY22, players in Cole County won more than $16.5 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $1.5 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $3.6 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
