$10,000 Prize Turns into $50,000 Prize for Barry County Residents

Dec 03, 2021

Two Missouri Lottery players in Barry County claimed a $50,000 Mega Millions prize in the Lottery’s Springfield regional office on Nov. 24. Because they had played the Megaplier option, their base prize of $10,000 instantly became $50,000 when the Megaplier number drawn was 5.

The winning ticket – purchased at C and C Country Store, 104 South Front St. in Exeter, for the Nov. 19 drawing – matched four white-ball numbers plus the Mega Ball number..

The winning numbers on Nov. 19 were 5, 23, 52, 53 and 59. The Mega Ball number was 18, and the Megaplier® number was 5. 

Mega Millions is a bi-weekly Draw Game with jackpots that grow until won. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at $112 million.

In FY21, players in Barry County won more than $7.3 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $678,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $961,000 in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
