A Kansas City lottery player is planning a cruise vacation after winning the grand prize on a Missouri Lottery “Power 5s” Scratchers ticket.
“It was an unusual experience for both me and my wife. “Very interesting,” the winner commented. “I scratched off the first prize, and it said $2,500. I was satisfied with just that! I told my wife, ‘We won!'”
When the winner summed up all of the rewards, he realized they totaled $100,000.
Swope Xpress Mart, which had previously sold a winning Scratchers ticket worth $2 million in March, was where he purchased his ticket.
In the fiscal year 2023, Jackson County players won more than $108.7 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, while shops got more than $9.9 million in commissions and bonuses.
