A Missouri Lottery player said she might not have realized she’d won $100,000 if she hadn’t entered her “$500 Frenzy” Scratchers tickets into her My Lottery Players Club account for Rewards.

“When I scanned the ticket into the app and saw ‘Congratulations’ on the screen, I thought, ‘Did I miss something?’” explained the winner.

After double-checking the ticket, she noticed she had overlooked one matching number – the one that held a $100,000 top prize.

“It’s such a blessing, and we hope to bless others also,” she shared.

The winning ticket was purchased at SBJ Fuels, 1314 N. Walnut St. in Cameron, and the prize was later claimed at the Lottery’s Kansas City regional office on Jan. 20.

So far, “$500 Frenzy” players have won more than $2.9 million in prizes since the $5 game was released in December. Currently, over $9.9 million in prizes remain unclaimed, including three additional $100,000 top prizes and five $10,000 prizes.

In FY25, players in DeKalb County won more than $1.3 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $133,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $504,000 in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
