A Missouri Lottery player scratched and matched his way to a $100,000 top prize on a “$100,000 Jackpot” Scratchers ticket.

It’s a favorite game for the winner, who bought the winning ticket at Rapid Roberts, 3106 W. Battlefield St., in Springfield.

When asked how he felt when he saw the prizes on his ticket add up to $100,000, he laughed and said, “It felt good.”

He plans to use some of his winnings to purchase a house.

“$100,000 Jackpot” is a $5 game with over $7 million in unclaimed prizes, including two more top prizes of $100,000.
