A Missouri Lottery player is thrilled after uncovering a $3 million top prize on a “300X” Scratchers ticket in St. Louis County. The ticket was purchased at 7-Eleven, 8000 Mackenzie Road, in Affton.

When asked, the winner and his wife said they play Lottery games occasionally, but they never thought they’d win such a large prize.

“We all dream it (winning), and it means a lot to us,” the couple shared. “We are lucky and happy.”

In FY26, St. Louis County players won more than $1.1 billion in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $19.9 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $33.9 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
