A Show Me Cash player in the city of St. Louis thought she was dreaming when her ticket matched all five numbers drawn in the Sept. 8 drawing – resulting in a jackpot prize of $230,000.
“I had went out celebrating the night before with girlfriends, and I couldn’t sleep that night,” she shared. “I got up and I was like, ‘Well, let me just check my lottery numbers.’ So I thought I was dreaming!”
The winner shared that she plays Show Me Cash randomly, particularly when the jackpot gets high.
“I’ve been playing the same numbers for the last two years, and I don’t play regularly. I play at random,” she stated.
The winning ticket was purchased at Crown Mart, 3868 Martin Luther King Drive, in St. Louis. The winning numbers drawn were 1, 8, 14, 16 and 39.
Show Me Cash is drawn daily at 8:59 p.m., with jackpots that start at $50,000 and grow until won. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at $360,000.
In FY23, players in St. Louis City won more than $57 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $4.7 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $10.8 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
