Patricia Fairris of St. Louis enjoys playing Scratchers tickets and usually sticks to the $1 and $2 games. While shopping at her local Dierbergs, located at 2516 Lemay Ferry Road in St. Louis, Fairris’ eyes were drawn to the Missouri Lottery’s $3 “Jingle Bell Tripler” Scratchers ticket.
Fairris changed her routine and purchased a couple of the $3 tickets - uncovering a $50,003 top prize!
“Believe it or not, I have never bought a $3 ticket,” Fairris shared. “I can’t tell you how in shock I was. I even called my granddaughter to check it for me. She said, ‘Grandma, you just won $50,000!’”
In FY20, players in St. Louis County – where the winning ticket was sold – won more than $179 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $17 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $29 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
