After running across a Facebook post announcing a big winning ticket, a Missouri Lottery player in Pettis County discovered she had won $61,000 in the Sept. 2 Show Me Cash Drawing.

“I kind of forgot about the ticket until I saw a post that a winning ticket was sold at the same gas station I purchased my ticket at,” she chuckled. “I think I checked it like 17 times and then had my husband check it!”

The ticket she purchased at Prime Time, 1320 S. Limit in Sedalia, matched all five numbers drawn. The winning numbers for Sept. 2 were 6, 22, 28, 34 and 38.

Show Me Cash is an in-state Draw Game, with drawings held each night at 8:59 p.m. Jackpots start at $50,000 and grow until someone wins. Tonight’s estimated jackpot is $132,000.

During FY26, players in Pettis County won more than $8.3 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $816,900 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $3.7 million in Lottery proceeds went to educational programs in the county.
