A spur-of-the-moment purchase led a Missouri Lottery player to a $50,000 prize on a “$50,000 Crossword Extra” Scratchers ticket.
The player had stopped by Casey’s General Store, 605 W. Washington St. in East Prairie, and decided to purchase the $3 ticket on the spot.
Upon scratching it off, he realized he had won one of the top prizes.
“I double checked it several times before I finally scanned it to see if it was a winner,” he shared.
Once he got over the shock, his excitement quickly set in.
“I was ecstatic!” the player said. “It’s overwhelming!”
In FY21, players in Mississippi County won more than $5.6 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $537,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $688,000 in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
