A Missouri Lottery player won a $50,000 Scratchers prize on a “500X” ticket purchased at Phil-Mart, 500 S. Main, in Salem. 

Just one day before this prize was claimed at Missouri Lottery headquarters on Jan. 22, a player in Jackson County also claimed a $50,000 prize on the same game.  

Since “500X” sales began, players have won over $208.5 million in prizes playing the $50 game. Over $49 million remain in unclaimed prizes, including one top prize of $5 million and eight additional prizes of $50,000. 

Players who purchased tickets in Dent County last fiscal year won more than $2.6 million in total Missouri Lottery prizes. Retailers received more than $258,000 in commissions and bonuses, and education programs in the county received more than $607,000 in appropriated Lottery proceeds.
