A Missouri Lottery player won a $4.2 million Lotto jackpot prize in the Dec. 3 drawing using a set of handpicked numbers.
“We had every number,” the winner excitedly shared. “We won!”
He explained that he chose specific numbers that were significant to him – 1, 2, 3, 20, 32 and 34.
The lucky ticket, which matched all six numbers drawn, was purchased at QuikTrip, 1201 Westport Road, in Kansas City.
“I never won anything more than $500,” he said, before sharing plans to gift some of the prize money to family members this holiday season.
In FY22, players in Jackson County won more than $103.1 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $9.3 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $50.2 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
