A Missouri Lottery player was elated after scratching a “$1,000,000 Money Blast” ticket to reveal one of the game’s $100,000 prizes. The ticket was purchased at QuikTrip, 1617 Gravois Road, in High Ridge. 

The winner said she had trouble processing the win at first. 

“I couldn’t believe it,” she laughed. “I was like, ‘No way. No way. No way!’” 

She had played the ticket before, but she never anticipated a big win.

“You win $20 here, $30 here, $50 at the max,” she explained. “But when you see something like that, you’re just jumping for joy!” 

To date, players have won more than $16.1 million in prizes on the “$1,000,000 Money Blast” Scratchers ticket. One additional $100,000 prize and a $1 million top prize remain unclaimed.

In FY25, Jefferson County players won more than $40.4 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $3.6 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $19.1 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
