“I got four in a row. When I scratched it off, it was $50,000!” a Missouri Lottery player recalled after playing a “Lucky Ca$h” Scratchers ticket. The game awards $50,000 prizes for matching four symbols in a horizontal or vertical line.

“I must have checked it a hundred times,” she laughed.

The winning ticket was purchased at Schnucks Market, 20 Dillon Plaza, in High Ridge.

“I buy all my tickets there,” she explained. “I like tickets that take a while to scratch.”

“Lucky Ca$h” is a $3 Scratchers ticket with over $9.1 million in unclaimed prizes, including five more top prizes of $50,000.
