While checking his Show Me Cash ticket from the May 24 drawing, A Missouri Lottery player looked at his wife and said, “Pause the movie! I think we just won!”

After double-cheking the Quick Pick ticket he had purchased earlier at Casey’s, 114 N. Pearl St. in Milan, he discovered they had won the second largest Show Me Cash Jackpot so far this year - $502,000.

“I was checking the numbers on my phone,” he laughed. “At first, I thought I was seeing  the winning numbers from the screen bleeding though the ticket.”

But it was no mistake. His ticket matched all five winning numbers drawn – 19, 21, 24, 28 and 36.

Show Me Cash is a daily in-state Draw Game with jackpots that start at $50,000  and continue to grow until someone wins. Tonight’s estimated jackpot is $85,000.

During FY25 players in Sullivan County won more than $630,000 in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $63,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $552,000 in Lottery proceeds went to educational programs in the county.
