‘Whim’ Ends in $50,000 Win

Jul 14, 2025

A Missouri Lottery player was completely shocked when she uncovered a “Win All” symbol on a “$250 Million Extravaganza” Scratchers game. She purchased the lucky ticket at QuikTrip, 8601 N.W. 45 Highway, in Parkville.

“We don’t purchase lottery tickets very often, but decided to buy one on a whim,” the winner shared.

As she started scratching the ticket, the very first spot revealed a “Bank” symbol, which meant she had won all 35 prizes shown on the ticket. Those prizes added up to a grand total of $50,000.

 “It was unbelievable!” she laughed. “We had to count the prize amounts several times!”

So far, “$250 Million Extravaganza” players have won over $15.4 million in prizes since the $50 game was released in May. More than $251.8 million in prizes remain, including three top prizes of $5 million, three $1 million prizes and 46 additional $50,000 prizes.

  In FY24, players in Platte County won more than $18.6 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $1.4 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $321,000 in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
