A customer at Phillips 66, 3276 William St. in Cape Girardeau, is now a Missouri Lottery-made millionaire. A Missouri Lotto ticket sold there for the Aug. 12 drawing matched all six numbers drawn to win a $2.8 million jackpot prize. The winning Lotto combination on Saturday was 5, 6, 9, 32, 36 and 40.
The ticket is the second millionaire-making ticket sold in Cape Girardeau this year. The first was a “Millionaire Blowout” Scratchers game, which contained a $1 million prize claimed in February. The latest winner has the Lottery’s 668th million-dollar-plus ticket across all games and the 34th such ticket so far in 2023.
The Lottery advises the holder of this winning ticket to sign the back of it right away and keep it in a safe place until they are ready to claim their prize. Prizes can be claimed – by appointment only – at any of the Lottery’s four offices, which are located in Jefferson City, St. Louis, Springfield or Kansas City. Draw Games winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. In this case, the winner has until Feb. 8.
Lotto drawings are held on Saturday and Wednesday nights at 8:59 p.m. The jackpot now resets to $1 million for Wednesday’s drawing.
