A Missouri Lottery Player was caught off guard when she uncovered a $50,000 prize on the “500X” Scratchers ticket she purchased at QuikTrip, 9099 Natural Bridge Road, in Bel Ridge.
“I saw the first $20,000 prize and thought, ‘Is this real?’” the winner laughed.
As she finished scratching the ticket, the prizes continued to add up – for a total of $50,000.
“I couldn’t believe it!” she exclaimed.
So far, players of the “500X” game have won over $183.1 million in prizes. More than $74.4 million in prizes remain unclaimed in the $50 game, including a top prize of $5 million and 16 additional $50,000 prizes.
The winner shared plans to use the money to invest in real estate.
In FY24, players in St. Louis County won more than $200.8 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $19.4 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $161.2 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
